High School Science Teacher 25/26 School Year

(1) Full-time Science position available for the 2025-2026 School Year. Village Green is the ideal position for educators who are passionate about providing a personalized learning experience, with small-group instruction. With all class sizes capped at a maximum of 16 students, teachers can build strong, meaningful relationships, and provide targeted support 1-on-1, or in small groups. At VGV, small class sizes allow creative students and teachers the ability to utilize our location in Downtown Providence to explore the city and engage in a variety of mobile learning activities; whether visiting PPAC for a performance or studying the effects of pollution on the Providence River. Science teachers are encouraged to explore opportunities in our STEAM Lab with 3d printers, wood, and metal etching machines, and other equipment. With opportunities available to enroll in dual-enrollment CCRI courses, students and teachers have endless opportunities to be creative, develop new skills, and take charge of their own learning experience. At the heart of this learning experience is our mission statement which says: "At Village Green Charter School, we believe that education is the key to unlocking a world of opportunity and to empower our students to pursue their dreams, contribute to their communities, and make a positive impact on the world through real world experiences that incorporate innovative technology, a dual enrollment college experience, and internships with local businesses and community leaders that allow the free expression of creativity and personalized learning." Opened in September 2013, VGV draws students statewide by blind lottery. In its first four years of existence, VGV posted the highest gains of any of the state’s high schools in the assessed content areas of ELA, math, and science and consistently outperformed it, sending urban school districts. VGV has averaged a 100% graduation rate and a 100% college acceptance rate to schools. VGV is the first RI school designed from Day 1 to be a competency-based, personalized blended learning model. It’s “competency-based” in that students only progress through their lessons after demonstrating proficiency. VGV has a highly successful “dual enrollment” program whereby students, in their fourth year, can attend a local college and take courses for college credit. It is very common for VGV students to graduate having already earned 9 to 12 college credits. Responsibilities for science teachers include: - Create a positive, achievement-oriented, and structured learning environment that excites and invests students. -Used the OpenSci curriculum with fidelity. - Build a classroom community by partnering with families to support academic and personal development. - Utilize assessment data to customize the student supplementary learning experience, and drive instruction. - Collaborate with the science department to design and implement the alignment of standards. - Utilize hands on learning through the use of our STEM lab.
