Flex Tech High School - Shepherd is hiring an English Teacher for the 2020-21 School Year. Valid Michigan Teaching Certification with Endorsement.

Flex Tech High School was designed to be a new vision for educating the 21st Century teenager, one that puts wonder, creativity and initiative at the heart of the learning process and prepares students for today’s unpredictable and rapidly-changing world. Flex Tech Network of High Schools includes locations in Brighton, Novi and now Shepherd. As a 9-12 high school, Flex Tech offers flexible scheduling to accommodate learning outside the walls of the school through internships, college dual enrollment and various community projects.

Students find themselves challenged and inspired by the progressive, competency-based and project-based learning model that is at the core of our instructional program. Flex Tech embraces the Small Schools Initiative, with total building enrollments at 300 or less, the students work closely with a teacher-advisor to monitor their progress and to tailor their school experience to meet their individual needs and interests.

Students come to Flex Tech looking for a more relevant high school experience. They seek a small, personal environment where they feel supported and encouraged to pursue their interests. The school has an open campus that operates under a seat time waiver, so student schedules are markedly different from a typical high school and there is an emphasis on using technology to support our methodology.

Teachers and students spend their day in an open environment that was specifically designed to mirror the contemporary work world where students are expected to manage their time and build independent and collaborative work skills. Although teachers do some typical classroom instruction, they spend a lot of their time one-on-one or in small groups guiding student work and projects. Staff at Flex Tech High School are part of a learning community participating in year-long professional development designed to support and develop teachers through a process of reflection and practice.

Through a dynamic and supportive environment, all staff are encouraged to bring new ideas and participate in problem solving protocols. Flex Tech provides opportunity for leadership in many ways and strives to support all staff in becoming expert, contributing members of our learning community.
