Toms River, New Jersey, USA
Toms River Regional Schools is seeking three Intermediate Technology Teachers / Makerspace Teachers. The district is dedicated to providing a comprehensive technology education program for all of our children. Intermediate Technology single marking period course offerings are designed to prepare our students for 21st century careers implementing the maker mindset in their approach to solving problems. Each year students learn about digital citizenship, cyber safety and programming. Sixth grade students further explore careers in technology, product evolution, hardware and software, and using digital tools to problem solve. Those skills are enhanced as our seventh grade students expand their horizons solving global issues, analyzing data and understanding systems and technology resources. Finally, in eighth grade, students experience the practical arts in a makerspace. A place where technology meets the woodshop, art meets science and students use tools like saws and engineering notebooks to plan, explore, engineer, design and redesign. This is a space of authentic problem solving. Interested applicants should submit a letter of interest, resume and copies of certificate(s) via www.applitrack.com/trschools/
