The school achieves this by fostering a culture of academic excellence, critical thinking, and curiosity, supported by a diverse and inclusive community. Riverdale emphasizes both high challenge and high support in its approach to education, encouraging students to engage deeply in interdisciplinary learning, research, and experiential education, both inside and outside the classroom and beyond our campuses. This holistic approach aims to develop well-rounded individuals who are prepared to make a positive impact on the world.   At Riverdale, we strive to reflect the diversity of the New York metropolitan area in our students, faculty, and staff. We believe that a diverse and inclusive community enriches the educational experience and is integral to our mission. With a student body of approximately 1,300 students from 117 different zip codes, Riverdale is a vibrant community where 48% of our students identify as students of color.    We seek to employ educators and leaders who bring a student-centered approach, passion for their work, a commitment to DEIB, and a desire to contribute to the growth and development of our entire school community.   In partnership with the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education (GSE), Riverdale seeks to hire a Penn Fellow in the Computer Science Department for a two-year position. The fellow will teach a reduced course load in the Middle and Upper School while taking graduate classes and pursuing a Master's degree at Penn GSE.   An ideal candidate is interested in growing the computer science program for students to address real problems with an understanding of the ways technology intersects with society. Our courses use a variety of hardware and programming languages including micro:bit, Arduino, block-based coding, JavaScript, Processing/p5.js, Python, C-based languages, and R; applicants should already be comfortable with a few of these languages and willing to expand their knowledge. In addition, the fellow will have the opportunity to assist with various extracurricular activities and programs such as Robotics, Girls Who Code, Rocketry, and Build-a-Ware.    We are seeking a fellow who would intentionally use their teaching practice to build and sustain an inclusive learning environment for all students, meeting the needs of students across a range of academic abilities and identities. Since some of our programs are middle school focused, applicants should be comfortable working with students in grades 6-8.    Applicants should possess a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university preferably in a computer science, engineering, math or technology-related field. We are also excited to hear from applicants with a degree in a different field and significant programming experience.   For international applicants: The H1-B visa is the only visa that international applicants can currently use to participate in the ISTR program; however, at this time, Riverdale is not able to sponsor a candidate for this visa unless an applicant is transferring from another type of visa to a H1-B visa. The OPT visa or OPT extension cannot be used, as students cannot be enrolled in a degree or certificate program while on an OPT extension.    More information about this program is available on the Penn website,  linked  here, as well as our  specific Penn Fellows page  on our website.    If you have specific questions about the program, please email our Penn Program director Andrew Kingsley ( akingsley@riverdale.edu ). $40,000 - $45,000 a year Salary and Compensation for Penn Teaching Fellows   To maintain consistency while accounting for variable living costs, Penn asks all ISTR partner schools to stay within a salary window. The salary for fellows across the independent schools in the Penn program ranges from $27,500-$45,000. Penn asks that our total compensation for a fellow (salary, benefits, and tuition) be relatively equivalent to what we would offer a first-year teacher.   However, given the high cost of living in New York City, Riverdale typically exceeds the maximum of this range by providing an additional housing stipend to our fellows. All fellows in both years are paid equally. Additionally, Riverdale pays approximately 80% of fellows' graduate school tuition.
