Elementary Technology Teacher - K-6th Grade

 

 

 

 

We are seeking inspired and dynamic educators to join our team and provide a top-quality education for all of our students. As we embark on an exciting new chapter with the launch of our Technology program, we are looking for individuals who are passionate about shaping the future of digital literacy and Computer Science (CS) education. Whether you are starting your teaching career or are looking to launch a new chapter-your passion for technology, your experience, and your commitment to making a difference will be deeply valued. At our school, opportunities for growth and impact are limitless, and we are committed to closing the gap in access to CS for students of color by building a comprehensive K-12 CS pathway.

 

For our grades 3-5 Technology curriculum we aim to equip young learners with essential digital skills, including digital citizenship, digital literacy, and foundational computer science concepts, utilizing curricula like CodeHS for CS, Common Sense Media for digital citizenship, and TypingClub for keyboarding skills. This rich, diverse curriculum is further enhanced by our unique approach to teaching digital literacy through project-based activities, focusing on skills such as email etiquette, word processing, and PowerPoint formatting, without relying on a purchased curriculum. This initiative is designed to provide a concise yet impactful introduction to the digital world in a single reporting period, fostering a hands-on learning experience that is both engaging and practical. Join us in this vital mission to educate and inspire the next generation, preparing them for success in a digital future, within a positive, joyful, and student-centered learning environment.
