Alt Program- Founding Science Teacher

About the role

This is different. By design. STEM at CSH ALT is experimental, alive, and hybrid. This is not a comfortable or predictable classroom. It is demanding. It requires constant adjustment, strong content knowledge across Math and Science disciplines, and the stamina to respond to students who enter with real academic gaps.

Responsibilities

• Design and deliver Regents-aligned curriculum that builds conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and scientific reasoning
• Teach STEM courses to students across multiple credit levels and readiness levels in a transfer school setting (this role is not grade-specific)
• Facilitate daily, structured problem-solving and inquiry aligned to lesson objectives and Regents skills
• Leverage additional Regents preparation opportunities (e.g., Mock Exams, targeted skill practice, and Saturday prep) to ensure that 95%+ of students are on track to pass required STEM Regents exams
• Support students in developing Regents-aligned mathematical reasoning and scientific literacy
• Monitor student progress toward credit completion and Regents exams using formative and summative data
• Serve as an advisor to a small group of students, maintaining regular communication with families
• Collaborate with colleagues, counselors, and school leadership to support student engagement, attendance, and academic progress

• Conduct proactive outreach and follow-up with students and families as needed to support persistence and completion
