Company Description
Uncommon Schools is a nonprofit network of high-performing, public
charter schools providing an outstanding K-12 education in
historically under-resourced communities. We have proudly built
schools that reflect our student population, with more than 60% of
our teachers and staff across our network identifying as a person
of color. Uncommon currently manages 54 schools serving more than
20,000 students in five cities: Boston, Camden, New York City,
Newark and Rochester. We are proud that Uncommon graduates persist
in and graduate from college at five times the rate of their peers
nationally. We achieve this by offering strong academic,
co-curricular, and social-emotional learning that prepares students
for success in college and beyond.
Job Description
North Star Academy Washington Park High School in Newark, NJ, is
looking for an innovative STEM teacher to design and teach a new
Computer Science class, which will fit alongside our 2 other
offered Computer Science classes, which are Introduction to
Computing (Scratch, basic web design, and basic Python) and AP
Computer Science A. The teacher of this class can largely determine
the topic, languages, and scope of the class, but the class will be
a project-based experience in which students will learn the skills
necessary to design and implement their own ideas and have freedom
to demonstrate mastery in a variety of ways. Candidates ideally
have relevant experience and/or coursework, but more importantly,
they must have the energy and passion to empower our students
through technology.
