Head of Lower School Science
The Chapin School
The Head of Lower School Science position (Grades K–3) is ideal for the dynamic, knowledgeable, and collaborative educator who has a strong understanding of child development and grade-appropriate science content and can apply this knowledge to effective pedagogies of inquiry and learning. The ideal candidate will enjoy the exuberance and curiosity of children, want to build an inclusive community where diverse perspectives are valued, and demonstrate an eye towards innovation and interdisciplinary efforts. As the lead Science teacher in the Lower School, this position offers an exciting opportunity to spearhead curricular and programmatic innovation, particularly when it comes to the Chapin STEAM program. In the ’21-’22 school year, the Chapin Lower School will move forward with plans for an exciting new Makers Lab. The Head of Lower School Science, in collaboration with the Lower School Technology Integrator, will help determine how to optimally use that space to advance the STEAM curriculum. As well, this person plays a key collaborative role in defining and designing our K-12 science curriculum in partnership with our Middle and Upper School Science Department Heads. Candidates should be committed to culturally responsive teaching that makes meaningful connections between students’ identities and life experiences and their learning and be invested in the School’s ongoing anti-racist and anti-bias efforts. Additionally, candidates must demonstrate a passion for and recognize the importance of an incredible science experience in an all-girls setting. Ideal candidates are reflective about their practice and avail themselves of professional development opportunities. Strong collaboration skills are critical as this position requires working closely with an Associate Teacher, Homeroom Teachers, and other departmental colleagues.
