Want to help prepare teens to make a difference in a rapidly changing and uncertain world? Inspired to guide high schoolers to explore their passions and find purpose?

We're looking for a full-time Science Instructor who fits in well with our team and is ready to dive in for the 2025-2026 school year!

Job Description :

Insight is seeking a dynamic educator who is committed to the co-creation of an educational environment that combines liberatory curricula, learner-driven explorations, rich interdisciplinary thinking, high standards, differentiated instruction, and a caring space that is responsive to individual student needs. Insight instructors are comfortable in a dynamic, collaborative, student-centered environment where innovation is essential. They are empathetic and passionate, embrace ambiguity, and are highly qualified professionals from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines.

The Science Instructor's role in particular is to offer their students knowledge and skills that help them understand both the underlying principles that organize matter, nature, and life, as well as the contexts in which those forms of knowledge are produced.

General Responsibilities :

  • Support the learner-driven mission of Insight.
  • Serve as a student advisor.
  • Collaborate with fellow educators, school leadership, and learners to help build Insight community and culture.
  • Design project-based, real-world, deep learning projects that encourage collaboration.

  • Foster meaningful, positive relationships with learners. Work individually with learners to personalize their development goals, mentoring them in discovering their passions.
  • Collect information about and share learning outcomes with learners, colleagues, and parents on a regular basis.
  • Support student leadership in student-driven initiatives, goals, and interests.

Instructional Responsibilities :

  • Design and teach a rotation of rigorous and timely semester-length courses in life, earth, and physical sciences that meet or exceed expectations of a high school graduate seeking admission to NC system colleges.
  • Historicize scientific discourses so that students understand the contexts in which people have produced scientific knowledge, including both the ongoing legacies of colonization, whiteness and patriarchy and the seminal contributions of women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ people to our knowledge of the natural world.
  • Include non-Western, indigenous approaches to observation.
  • Collaborate with Humanities and Math educators, as well as the Director of Curriculum and Instruction, to create interdisciplinary harmonies across the curriculum.
  • Hold regular office hours that allow for one-on-one coaching in your discipline.
  • Develop and publish course syllabi before classes begin.
  • In consultation with the Director and students' advisors, adapt course requirements, assignments, assessments, and evaluations as needed for students with learning differences and / or alternative educational plans.
  • Provide consistent assessment opportunities and weekly formative feedback, as well as summative mid-term and end-of-semester evaluations for learners in your courses.
  • Believe in the power of students.
  • Possess a passion for working with and engaging high school learners.
  • Embody a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
  • Have a sense of humor, empathy for others, and grit.
  • Believe that creativity and critical thinking are linked, and that they are important skills for success.
  • Are flexible thinkers and doers with a drive for impact.
  • Honor a fail forward approach to learning and growth.
  • Demonstrate an entrepreneurial work ethic.
  • Deploy creativity and flexibility to develop learning experiences within a fluid, learner-centered, project-based environment.
  • Embody curiosity, passion, honesty, innovation, communication, selflessness, courage, and a commitment to lifelong learning, and as such are engaged in their own independent research, study, and / or creative practices.
  • Qualifications :

    The scienceinstructor will have a passion for learning and teaching, along with a demonstrated ability to build rapport with students and adults. They will be committed to student-driven learning and have deep respect for young people, as well as empathy for the challenges they face. In addition, they will have :

  • Strong commitment to Insight's mission and values.
  • Commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.
  • Experience working with teenagers in an educational and / or coaching capacity.
  • Interdisciplinary expertise usually achieved through excellent liberal arts education.

  • Working command of evidence-based pedagogy and curriculum development.
  • Experience designing relevant and engaging learning experiences.
  • Excellent writing, communication, and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to collaborate and embrace the ambiguous nature of working in a startup environment.
  • Join our team and enjoy :

  • Small class sizes and opportunities for one-on-one work with students
  • Workplace culture that encourages creativity, innovation, and empowerment both in instructional responsibilities and the the instructors own independent research / creative practice
  • Life-changing moments in an organization that aims to change the world
  • Professional development in the most current practices of learner-centered education
