We are seeking the founding instructor for Mastery Thomas High School's new Career and Technical Education (CTE) program in Health Care, launching in August 2026 for the 2026-27 school year. This is a unique opportunity to build a program from the ground up, creating a rigorous curriculum that prepares students to earn Certified Medical Assistant credentials and confidently navigate their postsecondary pathways, whether that leads to two-year colleges, four-year universities, or the workforce.
As the founding teacher, you will lead instruction in a newly constructed Certified Medical Assistant lab, blending hands-on learning with real-world field experiences. Your day will involve designing engaging, data-driven lessons aligned with Pennsylvania Department of Education standards and industry-recognized exams like NOCTI. Beyond the classroom, you will foster deep relationships with families, collaborate with external organizations to secure job shadowing and internship opportunities, and work closely with school leaders to ensure the program evolves to meet the needs of historically underserved communities.
Mastery Thomas High School is dedicated to driving student achievement through high expectations and a student-centered approach. We are committed to serving students from historically underserved communities, providing them with the tools, mentorship, and resilience needed to overcome challenges and achieve personal excellence. This role is ideal for an educator who is solutions-oriented, passionate about health care careers, and eager to contribute to a culture of continuous improvement and professional growth.
Interested candidates should submit their application including proof of relevant certifications and experience. The selection process involves a review of qualifications followed by interviews focused on instructional philosophy, program development vision, and cultural fit within the Mastery network.
Mastery is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive community. We consider qualified applicants regardless of background, race, religion, gender, or other protected characteristics.
