<p>SUBJECT: TEACHER - PHYSICS - CLAREMONT ACADEMY GRADES 9-12</p> <p>Elements of Innovation The Worcester Technical High School's STEM Early Career and College Initiative will be open to students who want to get an early start on their college career and to students who may not normally consider college (i.e. underperforming students, low-income, special needs, first generation college goers, etc.). We envision that, once at full capacity, all students would graduate from WTHS with a high school diploma, a technical certificate, and the opportunity to earn college credits.</p> <p>The early career and college initiative should:</p> <ol> <li> <p>Ensure a higher college and career readiness success rate: Early college designs serve as a proven college and career ready strategy for students not already college bound and as a head start on college for those already committed to a postsecondary credential.</p> </li><li> <p>Improve alignment of standards and curricula: Early college designs support and reinforce alignment of postsecondary courses with career/technical competencies and college ready standards.</p> </li></ol> <p>Teacher Hiring Process If student enrollment in the high school increases significantly, new staff may be required as per state requirements, and as the budget and other planning considerations allow. Any new teachers hired for the Worcester Technical High School's STEM Early Career and College Initiative will become members of the local teachers union.</p> <ul> <li>Any additional staffing vacancies, including assistant principals, will be filled by a Hiring Committee which will be comprised of: Principal, Assistant Principal, Department Head, Director of Career & Technical Education. </li><li>Applications from teachers interested in a teaching or administrative position in this school would be forwarded from Central Administration to the Hiring Committee for consideration. </li><li>The Hiring Committee will interview candidates and review the applicant's qualifications, prior performance, recommendations, and willingness to support the vision and mission of WTHS. </li><li>Applicants may be asked to teach a sample lesson, which will be observed as part of the selection criteria. </li></ul> <p>Candidates must possess Massachusetts Teacher Licensure and SEI Endorsement.</p> <p>Worcester Technical High School's full Innovation Plan may be viewed on the Worcester Public Schools' website.</p> <p>PRINCIPAL RESPONSIBILITIES: (to be included along with other responsbilities)</p> <ol> <li>Responsible for assuring equal educational opportunity to all individuals regardless of race, color, gender, age, religion, national origin, gender identity, marital status, sexual orientation, disability or homelessness. </li><li>Performance of other job-related duties as assigned. </li></ol> <p>REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:</p> <ol> <li>MA DESE Licensure in Chemistry 9-12 </li><li>SEI endorsement </li></ol> <p>Preferred Qualifications:</p> <ol> <li>Advanced Placement experience </li><li>Demonstrated experience supporting students with special needs </li><li>Ability to speak Albanian, Arabic, Nepali, Portuguese, Spanish, Vietnamese or an African Language. </li></ol> <p>TO APPLY: Any person interested in this position must submit a resume, cover letter, licensure information and answer all questions on-line at https://worcesterschools.org/about/employment-opportunities</p> <p>This deadline date does not preclude further advertisement or recruitment.</p>
