Rossman School, an independent elementary school (JK-6) in Creve Couer, MO, is searching for an innovative science educator for the 2022-2023 academic year. Responsible for teaching fourth, fifth and sixth grade science, the Upper School Science Teacher is responsible for leading a science program that provides a strong foundation in the development of scientific knowledge and research. Students broaden their current understanding of the world by actively participating in inquiry-based experimentation and hands-on activities. The science curriculum capitalizes on our students’ natural curiosity and prepares them well for more rigorous scientific study in secondary school. To complement instruction, the Upper School Science teacher leads science field trips, including the sixth grade annual overnight trip to The U.S. Space and Rocket Center, and makes good use of the school’s twenty acre campus and newly updated greenhouse.
Rossman’s greatest resource is skilled educators who enjoy working together to design a quality educational experience through curriculum development, interdisciplinary projects and experiential learning opportunities. We seek a professional who enjoys being part of a highly collaborative team, effectively develops a student-centered curriculum and embraces a commitment to lifelong learning through professional growth.
The ideal candidate for this position will have at least three years experience teaching science, preferably to upper elementary and/or middle school students and has demonstrated the ability to differentiate and adapt instructional practices to meet the needs of individual learners. He/She will exhibit personal and professional integrity and dedication to Rossman’s values of honesty, kindness, respect, and responsibility in his/her interactions with children and adults. He/she will possess a strong work ethic, a genuine appreciation for children, and a commitment to each child’s academic and social-emotional growth.
Experience in an independent school is not required. Salary and benefits will be commensurate with other area independent schools and an applicant's experience.
