What are the responsibilities and job description for the Middle School Technology Teacher position at Innovation Academy Charter School?
Innovation Academy Charter School seeks a full-time middle school Technology teacher for the upcoming school year. Successful candidates will be passionate learners and collaborators who are committed to the school’s mission and invested in the academic and social-emotional learning of all students. Our school has a close-knit community of teachers, students, administration, and parents. Teachers serve as advisors to a group of 12-13 students each year, building strong relationships with students outside of the academic classroom.
IACS seeks to serve all students within an academically rigorous and culturally responsive community of learners. This is a new specials class that is being added for students in Grades 5 and 6 via an expansion of our middle school enrollment. The teacher will create a curriculum that blends typing instruction, project-based units using Google Suite tools (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Vids), with opportunities to develop units in digital design, introductory coding, or other creative technology.
Situated in Tyngsboro, MA (near the intersection of routes 3 and 495), IACS draws a diverse student body from neighboring districts, including Lowell, Dracut, and Chelmsford, as well as Tyngsboro. Our community represents 19 languages spoken, 45% students of color, 25% of students on special education plans, and a community of students and staff that identify as LGBTQ.
IACS has a strong mentoring program for teachers new to the school and those new to teaching, including career changers. We welcome candidates who are committed to their own professional learning, open to feedback, and committed to collaboration.
