Re: Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy Teaching Position

Wow, what a job! Good luck on your search. I imagine it can't be easy to find a teacher of such qualifications, but you've come to the right place.

For folks thinking about this, I've seen the facility and program first-hand during the school day and it's top notch in every way. And from what I saw, the students have great focus and discipline. This is a wonderful opportunity for those who are qualified.

The opportunity to have a small amount of paid time to do IT coordination is awesome (and something I've been hoping for here) as is the opportunity to have a 50/50 teaching and professional development split for the first year, rather than being thrown into a full load of teaching with little to no development/planning time. Kudos to Dos Pueblos for recognizing that the job role of a teacher can be more flexible than just "they must teach a full load of classes."

Re: Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy Teaching Position

Wow, it'll be hard pressed to find a qualified individual with just a basic teaching background even though it may be in Career Technical Education.
There are many mentors who can meet those qualifications, but the real challenge is the art of teaching those workplace readiness and engineering design process skills.

Looks like a great opportunity for someone with lots of experience/passion from the FIRST community. You certainly came to the right place, and I'm sure as director, you'll be a great resource and inspiration for whoever gets hired.

Good luck!

-Glenn
