7/8 Grade Science Teacher – Clinton Middle School

Clinton Middle School is seeking a passionate and collaborative 7/8 grade science teacher to join our school community as we prepare to move into a new, state‑of‑the‑art building in one year. The opening of our modern facility will provide enhanced learning spaces, updated labs, and expanded opportunities for hands‑on, inquiry‑based science instruction. We are looking for a teacher who is excited about this transition and can help shape a dynamic, student‑centered science program in a supportive and inclusive environment. **Key Responsibilities** - Teach engaging, standards‑based science courses to students in grades 7 and 8, aligned with the Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Learning Standards. - Build strong, positive relationships with students and prioritize a classroom culture where all learners feel seen, supported, and challenged. - Design and implement inquiry‑driven, hands‑on lessons that promote scientific thinking, collaboration, and real‑world problem solving. - Differentiate instruction to meet the needs of diverse learners, including students with disabilities, English language learners, and students performing above grade level. - Collaborate regularly with grade‑level and content‑area colleagues, special educators, and related‑services staff to support student success. - Use formative and summative assessment data to inform instruction and adjust pacing and support. - Contribute to school-wide initiatives, including culture, climate, and community‑building efforts. - Embrace the upcoming transition to the new building by participating in planning discussions about lab design, equipment use, and instructional best practices in modern science spaces. Clinton Middle School values teachers who are collaborative, reflective, and committed to equity and student‑centered learning. If you are a science educator who thrives in a team‑based environment, prioritizes relationships with students, and wants to help shape the future of science instruction in a modern middle school setting, we invite you to apply.
