The IDEAL School of Manhattan is seeking a talented, enthusiastic, and creative Middle School Science teacher for a part time position starting in August 2021.

IDEAL teachers are charged with inspiring students in an inclusive and nurturing learning community to achieve personal and academic excellence. It is the norm for Middle School history and science teachers at IDEAL to partner with learning specialists to differentiate subject matter and for teachers within a discipline and across subject-areas to work together to develop curriculum and projects. The science teacher will each teach two Middle School science classes covering general science curricular areas of Life, Earth and Space, and Physical Science. IDEAL expands the definition of diversity to include ability, and thus candidates should demonstrate the ability to teach a range of learners and to scaffold lessons with note-taking guides, visual aids, and other supports to promote the success of a range of learners. In the science classroom, it is expected that teachers engage students’ curiosity through labs, hands-on experiences, and project-based learning. 

All IDEAL teachers also serve as advisors and contribute in significant ways beyond the classroom; it is the norm for teachers to mentor a club, provide extra help, chaperone overnight class trips, and lead their own extra-curricular activities and initiatives. They know their students as learners and as individuals, and they inspire their students by setting a high bar for excellence while making the classroom fun and supporting all learners in achieving.  In short, they adore and believe in their students and, in turn, are admired and respected by their students.

The successful candidate will work effectively with Middle School students; partner thoughtfully with colleagues and parents; demonstrate the ability to inspire students to strive for both personal and academic excellence; and possess a commitment to inclusive education.
