STEM Teacher - Ansan

Saint Paul American Scholars (SPAS) is a growing K-12 school district that is designed to help teach young people to become responsible citizens and to prepare students for college. That means that they must learn the key attributes of ethical behavior including courage, compassion, integrity, justice, truth, reason, fairness, respect, and honesty in addition to the core academic subjects.

A positive school climate is characterized by quality teaching by instructors and effective learning by students. This requires a safe environment for all who work in and attend SPAS along with an emphasis on citizenship and adherence to rules applied equitably and fairly to all in the Saint Paul Scholars community. We believe that parents are essential partners in the educational process and must be properly involved and accountable for the achievement and behavior of their children.

SPAS hires educators, and we are looking for candidates who consider themselves to be educators, not just teachers. This means, at their core, they want to know how else to support struggling students, how else to challenge excelling students, and why the students are performing on their levels. Educators’ passion comes from hard work and effort to see a student not just survive, but thrive. Educators want to engage with other educators and stakeholders to support their students.

Educators understand that education is NOT just assigning, collecting, and checking work. If you agree, we look forward to hearing from you.
