Technology Education-Sr High

About the Role

As a Senior High Technology Educator in Construction, you will teach and facilitate learning for General Carpentry 1 and 2. Your primary mission is to maintain academic progress, discipline, and records for high school students while working collaboratively with parents and students to implement classroom education that meets diverse needs.

You will serve as a bridge between the classroom and the Career and Technical Education (CTE) office, participating in pathway advisory committee meetings and collaborating with staff to ensure students succeed on state assessment exams. The role requires a balance of instructional leadership and operational safety, ensuring all equipment is in safe operating condition and that shop practices are strictly enforced.

Day in the Life

Your day involves instructing students through lectures, discussions, and demonstrations, while establishing clear objectives for every lesson and project. You will create, administer, and grade tests to evaluate progress, while also observing and reporting on student development. A significant portion of your time will be dedicated to maintaining order in the classroom and discussing student problems and progress with parents and staff.

Beyond the classroom, you will participate in faculty meetings, professional development workshops, and educational conferences. You are expected to utilize technology such as SMART boards and iPads, while also complying with all district policies and regulations. The role demands physical readiness to respond rapidly in emergencies and the ability to stand, move, and lift as needed in a shop environment.

Hiring Process & Application
