TEACHING AT DISCOVERY HIGH SCHOOL

Discovery High School Commercial
Are you looking to join the founding team of a one-of-kind High School where students are prepared for high demand, high paying, high-tech jobs of tomorrow? Are you looking to be part of a school community where teachers are lead learners and are energized by their work? Are you looking for a Principal who is hugely invested in the development, diversification and fulfillment of his teachers? Do you want to be part of a school with a growth mindset about its students’ unlimited potential and a commitment to achieving equity through innovation?
At Discovery High School, we will ask a lot of our students and staff, and yet we believe that school should be a fun and interactive place where students and staff look forward to coming to school every day. As educators we believe that relationships with our students are the foundation on which all social and academic success is built. Additionally, we strengthen our practice through five hours of professional learning per week, built within our 7:20-3:30 school day. Collaboration and peer to-peer learning are central to our growth as educators.
As a small school we will be able to provide our students with a personalized progression of learning that includes internships, externships, entrepreneurship, industry mentors, stackable career certificates, and extensive accrual of college credits while in High School. If you are up for the challenge, join our team!

TEACHING IN SEZP

SEZP is seeking educators who are excited and ready to make an impact in a collaborative, engaging, diverse, and high energy environment. We are seeking educators who believe teachers are activists - promising instructional access, rigor, advocacy, and a tenacious commitment to anti-racism for all students. SEZP teachers are expected to:

  • Create a safe, purposeful classroom environment that prioritizes learning for all students
  • Collaborate with other teachers, instructional leaders, and partners to ensure instruction is meeting the needs of all students
  • Assess students regularly, analyze data, and determine appropriate next steps for instruction
  • Ensure that instruction meets the needs of all students, including students with special needs, English Language Learners, and students performing below grade level
  • Build relationships and communicate regularly with students and their families to solicit input and share academic progress
  • Engage in learning about issues of racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion in education to examine your own biases; reflect on how those biases affect you, your students, and their families; and plan and deliver instruction in a culturally responsive way
  • Participate in and learn from regular professional development opportunities before and during the school year

School/Role Specific expectations:

  • Using your passion for technology to design and teach project-based classes to students
  • Collaborating with our curriculum partners
  • Designing and maintaining simulation labs and tinker spaces in the school

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Experience as an Adkustment Counselor at the middle and/or high school level preferred
  • Appropriate content/program area and grade level educator license from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education required (Educators who are not yet licensed by MA DESE in the appropriate content/program area and grade level may be eligible for a licensure waiver and are still encouraged to apply.)
  • Experience as an active anti-racist or advocate for equity preferred
  • Bilingual in English and Spanish preferred
  • Bachelor’s degree required
    If you meet some of the qualifications above, we encourage you to apply or to reach out for more information. We know that historically marginalized groups – including people of color, women, people from working class backgrounds, and people who identify as LGBTQ – are less likely to apply unless and until they meet every requirement for a job. Therefore, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other marginalized communities. We are actively seeking educators of color.
