Computer Science Teacher - Upper School

St. Paul Academy and Summit School (SPA) seeks candidates for the position of Upper School Computer Science Teacher. This is an extraordinary opportunity to design and implement an innovative computer science program for students in grades 9-12 in a school with outstanding students, tremendous strengths in math and science instruction, and a well-established 1:1 computing environment. Working collaboratively with the school administration and colleagues in the math, science, and technology departments, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to plan and teach new computer science and robotics courses in the Upper School and coach a new Upper School robotics team. This is a full-time faculty position beginning August 2016.

• a bachelor’s degree in computer science or an equivalent field (master’s preferred);
• experience teaching computer science and robotics in a secondary setting;
• experience using a range of instructional computing languages and experience using Google Apps for Education;
