SYComputer Science and Software Engineering Teacher

At Innovation Charter High School, we believe schools can be places where young people are deeply known, challenged, and prepared to shape their futures, and where educators do some of the most meaningful work of their careers.

We are a mission-driven public charter high school in New York City serving students with ambition, care, and urgency. Our team is fiercely committed to improving student outcomes and continuously strengthening the school we are building together.

This is a place for educators who believe:

• Feedback is essential to growth, for students and adults
• Curiosity is a driver of strong teaching and learning
• Great schools are built through reflection, collaboration, and persistence
• Students thrive when adults hold high expectations and provide deep support
• Supporting one another as a community and showing up as strong team players matters just as much as individual excellence

We are not interested in maintaining the status quo. We are actively working to create new ways of supporting students and new ways of working together as colleagues. That takes humility, experimentation, resilience, and heart.

Our staff cares deeply. We challenge one another. We learn in public. We keep improving.

If you are energized by joining a dedicated team that is building toward something better, for students and for each other, we'd love to meet you.

We are seeking a passionate, equity-driven Computer Science & Software Engineering Teacher (Grades 9-12) to lead our Software Engineering Program (SEP) - a standards aligned course sequence in programming, app design, and game building that culminates in an AP course.

SEP is an initiative of New York City's CS4

ALL program, whose mission is to increase the number of high school graduates (particularly from traditionally underrepresented groups) who are ready to pursue new and emerging technology-driven roles, and to develop students' computational thinking and problem-solving skills in real-world contexts.

You will work under the direction of the Principal or their designee to deliver an inclusive, project-based computer science curriculum that gives every student, including those with IEPs, full access to rigorous, standards-based instruction.

This role is ideal for an educator who believes computer science should be both rigorous and inclusive, and who is energized by helping students build the technical and problem-solving skills to pursue emerging tech-driven careers.

• Collaborate with special education co-teachers to meet the mandates of IEPs and ensure all students have access to the curriculum
• Incorporate student goals, behavior plans, and interventions into daily instruction
• Employ lesson and unit plans that are standards-based and mission-aligned
• Report student progress and maintain accurate, up-to-date achievement records, adhering to standards-based grading practices

• Frequently review classroom performance and examination data and adjust instruction to meet student needs
• Implement students' IEP mandates and work toward IEP-related goals, as applicable
• Use assessment data on an ongoing basis to improve student performance and inform instruction

• Embody and cultivate the school's core values - innovation, collaboration, respect, activism, integrity, empathy - in your professional practice and encourage students to do the same in their academic work and personal conduct
• Host a minimum of two hours of weekly supplemental instruction, such as in-school tutoring or open office hours, to provide academic support
• Plan and lead experiential learning activities and conduct a student advisory
• Incorporate technology into the classroom and continue developing your own digital learning skills
• Take on additional duties as assigned by the Principal or designee

• Engage actively in feedback, coaching, and professional learning
• Collaborate with colleagues to improve practice and student outcomes
• Contribute to a culture of reflection, curiosity, and continuous improvement
• Help create classrooms and a school community rooted in belonging, safety, and high expectations
