Job Description
Pressman Academy is looking for an experienced Middle School Science teacher. The Science Teacher works on a collaborative team of educators and is primarily responsible for implementing a Middle School Science program within a dynamic and engaging school environment.
Who are we?
Parents, students and teachers call Pressman Academy their second home, and we are proud to be a school that invests in providing teachers with a great place to work. Our top-notch academic program provides staff with both the support to implement a high quality curriculum as well as the flexibility to bring in their own creativity and passion. We invest equally in children’s social/emotional development and academic development, which is one of the reasons we are known for being a school that graduates mensches. And we have high expectations for our staff to help create this high-quality environment, but we provide a lot of support for our staff, including mentorship, professional collaboration, and free lunches three times/week.
Who are you?
You are an educator who both loves teaching Science and also truly loves Middle School-aged children. You have at least three years of experience doing so, and you’re eager to grow this work. You want to work in an environment that values relationships - those with your colleagues, those with students, and those with the community. You have high standards for your students, and you know how to differentiate (and sometimes accommodate) in order to help them meet those standards. You see technology as a useful tool, and you use it when it makes sense to do so. And finally, you are someone who is looking for a professional community in which to invest your time and your talents.
Interested candidates are encouraged to send their resume and cover letter to Julia Miller: jmiller@pressmanacademy.org.
This position will earn an annual salary of $65,000 - $95,000. The specific salary from this wide range will be determined based on years of experience and level of education using our school’s salary band criteria.
Resumes without a cover letter will not be considered.
