Engineering Teacher

POSITION OVERVIEW:

The SEED School of Los Angeles County is looking for a CTE Engineering Teacher to join its team. The
CTE Engineering Teacher will cultivate a rigorous, instructional culture that strives to build scientifically
proficient students prepared to meet the demands of college and engage as productive citizens of
the world. In our classrooms, scholars regularly “do” science in a hands-on way. Scholars should
consistently engage with content as scientists by exploring concepts and phenomena by touching,
feeling, building, experimenting, and observing. Scholars demonstrate critical science and
engineering practices while applying strong literacy skills to learning and communicating about
science. Science classrooms are focused on the most important content, and that content focus is
coherently deepened from grade to grade and course to course. We create opportunities for scholars
to engage with disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts and the most critical scientific and
engineering practices (rather than racing to cover as many topics as possible and/or pushing rote,
procedural recall of scientific facts.
