We are looking for a dynamic Technology Teacher who can offer an engaging, interactive tech curriculum based on an understanding of child development and emerging technology education. The successful candidate is energized by Wingra's approach and mission, committed to his/her own growth and development as an educator, and specifically drawn to teaching in a progressive learning environment. He or she is an excellent teacher who is resourceful, enthusiastic, organized and able to navigate the educational terrain with flexibility and grace.

Our Technology Teacher works with multi-age groups of students, ages 5 to 14, and envisions ways to create and implement a technology integration plan.
