6th Grade Math/Science Instructor (WCMS)

We are seeking an enthusiastic 6th Grade Science and Math Teacher to guide students through an exciting year of discovery as they transition into middle school. In this dual-subject role, you will first ignite student curiosity in science through hands-on experiments, lab work, and inquiry-based learning that encourages them to ask big questions about the natural world. You will then bridge that curiosity into the math classroom, helping students master foundational concepts—like ratios and rational numbers—while building the analytical problem-solving and critical thinking skills they need for future success. By designing differentiated lessons and fostering a supportive environment, you will partner with families to ensure a smooth transition and inspire a lasting love for both subjects. We invite you to join our team.
