St. Luke’s School seeks a talented Academic Technologist to join its dynamic, enterprising TE(A)CH Department, i.e. “Teach Tech.” The successful candidate will join a 7-person team comprised of 3 Academic Technologists, dedicated specialists in Network, Systems Support, and School Media, and led by the Director of Technology. We promote a thoughtful, collaborative environment, focusing not only on developing solutions for today’s challenges, but also on cultivating innovative ideas for the future.

All students at St. Luke’s are provided with school-owned technology: a Chromebook for grades 5-6 and a Macbook Air for grades 7-12. The Department is responsible for managing the deployment, maintenance, and ongoing use of these devices, as well as the St. Luke’s wireless network, A/V equipment, database systems, and copier equipment. Although a point person on the team has been designated for each, we work together to meet these responsibilities.

The primary role of the Academic Technologist is to collaborate with faculty to effectively integrate technology that enhances teaching and learning in the classroom. Our team adopts a teacher-driven model: to learn our teachers’ goals and pedagogy, raise awareness of exciting opportunities to meet those goals and enhance the student experience, and provide the training and support to succeed.  This is a full-time, full-year staff position with excellent benefits including medical, dental, and life insurance as well as an employer-matching retirement savings plan.

• Train and help support the technological needs of non-academic operating departments such as Admissions, Counseling, Development (e.g. laptop hardware/software support and needs, video editing, event registrations, etc.)

• Based on skills, assume some responsibility for the management of St. Luke’s Blackbaud Education Management System (EMS) and assist with other school databases (KnowBe4, SchoolPass, Connect5, etc.)

• Support students in their own course and project work as necessary, including green-screen recording, audio/video production, etc.

• Should the need arise, teach the equivalent of one full-time academic course as deemed appropriate.

• Assume project management responsibilities for special projects as assigned.

• Serve as an Advisor or co-advisor for a group of 6 to 8 students

• Self Starter - an ability and desire to quickly develop expertise with and support new systems, software, and computing devices

• Communication and Customer Service Skills - communicates clearly and compellingly with diverse stakeholders in both speaking and writing; anticipates and responds to needs in a conscientious manner; interacts positively with all levels of technical aptitude

• Team Player - proven ability to collaborate effectively with others

• Deep proficiency with Google suite (Docs, Calendar, Mail, Sheets, Slides, Forms, etc.)

• Prior experience with the use, support and/or deployment of a learning management system (LMS); experience with Blackbaud preferred, but not required
