Job Description

Woodward seeks a Middle School Science Teacher to teach physical science and earth science to students in grades 6-8, along with one section of Middle School Math Foundations. The ideal candidate is a hands-on, inquiry-driven educator who brings science to life through labs, projects, and real-world connections, and who is equally comfortable building foundational math skills and confidence in middle school students.

At a school of Woodward's size, faculty enjoy real latitude to design curriculum, launch initiatives, and shape the program. This is a strong fit for a teacher who wants to know students well, is comfortable wearing more than one hat, and sees themselves as a builder.
