Middle School Technology Teacher– 6th-8th Grade

About Mastery

Founded in 2001, Mastery Schools is a public charter network of 23 K-12 schools in Philadelphia and Camden, serving more than 14,000 students. Our mission is to provide all students with the academic and personal skills they need to succeed after graduation and pursue their dreams. Student achievement is the reason we exist, and every member of our team is dedicated to securing student success.

We are committed to pursuing equity, actively disrupting systemic racism, and addressing the disparities that limit our students' choices. Our culture is built on respect, service, and the belief that the success of our students, their families, and the communities we serve will help us achieve our mission. We foster a positive, open, and inclusive environment where honesty, humor, and continuous improvement are celebrated. Together, we are creating a model urban school district that serves all students with excellence.

The Opportunity

We are seeking inspired and dynamic educators to join our team as we embark on an exciting new chapter with the launch of our Technology program. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about shaping the future of digital literacy and Computer Science (CS) education. Whether you are starting your teaching career or looking to launch a new chapter, your passion for technology, your experience, and your commitment to making a difference will be deeply valued.

At our school, opportunities for growth and impact are limitless. We are committed to closing the gap in access to CS for students of color by building a comprehensive K-12 CS pathway. At Mastery, we value Continuous Improvement and want you to learn and grow in your craft. We utilize a team of Assistant Principals, central-office coaches, and school-based content teams to provide every teacher with coaching and feedback. Professional development and peer collaboration time are built into our staff calendar to support your journey.

Why You Should Apply

Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they can perform every job description task. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may come from a less traditional background. Mastery may consider an equivalent combination of knowledge, skills, education, and experience to meet minimum qualifications. If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your background and skill set for the role.

Benefits and Culture

Mastery offers a full benefits program and opportunities for professional growth. Our most popular benefits include a 403(b) retirement plan for PA employees (with a 5% match from Mastery for full-time employees), enrollment in the State of New Jersey Pension Plan for NJ employees, a robust Employee Assistance Program, mental health and counseling programs, and an annual Professional Development Fund. We also offer discounts and perks at a myriad of retailers, travel organizations, and insurance providers, as well as access to the HealthAdvocate Helpdesk to help you navigate various benefits-related topics. We also invite you to review our annual calendar, which we consider a benefit of working here too!
