Job Description

Innovation Academy Charter School seeks a full-time middle school teacher to teach a course called “IACS 101/102” for the upcoming school year. Successful candidates will be passionate learners and collaborators who are committed to the school’s mission and invested in the academic and social-emotional learning of all students within a culturally responsive community. Our school has a close-knit community of teachers, students, administration, and parents. Teachers serve as advisors to a group of 12-13 students each year, building strong relationships with students outside of the academic classroom.

The teacher would work closely to collaborate with their counterpart to implement lessons that explicitly teach and reinforce executive functioning skills, behavior expectations across settings, and social emotional skills for a 5th grade IACS 101 course and 6th grade IACS 102 course. This course serves as an entry point to middle school, helping students build executive functioning skills, emotional regulation skills, as well as learn about our four school outcomes of effective communication, self-direction, community membership, and problem-solving. The IACS 101/102 teachers will support students’ academic, social, emotional, and behavioral development and will consistently enforce expectations and build strong relationships with students while maintaining boundaries and accountability. One aspect of this role will involve working closely with the Middle School Principal Team to provide additional support to students’ in their transition to middle school.

Situated in Tyngsboro, MA (near the intersection of routes 3 and 495), IACS draws a diverse student body from neighboring districts, including Lowell, Dracut, and Chelmsford, as well as Tyngsboro. Our community represents 19 languages spoken, 39% students of color, 25% of students on special education plans, and a community of students and staff that identify as LGBTQ.

IACS has a strong mentoring program for teachers new to the school and those new to teaching, including career changers. We welcome candidates who are committed to their own professional learning, open to feedback, and committed to collaboration.
