Schedule: 1 Day per Week (8 Hours/Day)

Grade Levels: Kindergarten through 7th Grade

Position Overview

We are seeking a dynamic, creative, and student-centered Part-Time Technology Teacher to join our faculty for one day a week (8 hours). In this role, you will introduce students in grades K-7 to foundational computer literacy, digital citizenship, and foundational STEM/computer science concepts. The ideal candidate will be adept at tailoring lessons to a wide range of developmental levels, ensuring that a Kindergarten introduction to a tablet is just as engaging as a 7th grader's introduction to coding.

Key Responsibilities

• Skill Development: Introduce and reinforce essential skills, including keyboarding, digital tool navigation, media literacy, and introductory coding/robotics.
• Digital Citizenship: Educate students on safe, respectful, and responsible internet use and online safety.
• Classroom Management: Maintain a productive, organized, and positive learning environment in the tech lab or mobile cart setting, accommodating different age groups throughout the day.
• Assessment: Evaluate and track student progress, providing brief feedback to homeroom teachers and parents as needed.
• Equipment Care: Ensure proper use, storage, and basic troubleshooting of student devices (e.g., Chromebooks, iPads, or laptops) during your designated day.

Required Skills & Qualifications 

• Differentiated Instruction: Proven ability to adapt teaching strategies for a vast developmental span (from 5-year-olds to 13-year-olds).
• Scope and Sequence Planning: Ability to maximize impact with limited contact time (once per week per class).
• Gamified Learning: Familiarity with educational technology platforms that engage students (e.g., Kahoot, Quizizz, Seesaw, Nearpod).

Technical Proficiency

• EdTech Ecosystems: Mastery of Google Workspace for Education (Google Classroom, Docs, Slides) and/or Microsoft 365.
• Introductory Coding Tools: Familiarity with block-based coding platforms suitable for youth (e.g., Scratch, ScratchJr, Code.org).
• Hardware Familiarity: Basic troubleshooting skills for interactive whiteboards, tablets, Chromebooks, and audio-visual equipment.

Education required

• 4-year Bachelor's degree
