Job Title : Elementary Teacher - Shape Young Minds in a Dynamic, Supportive Environment

Launch a Future of Discovery at a School That Roots for You

At Escuela Popular, we don't just teach science—we cultivate the next generation of critical thinkers, problem-solvers, and innovators. Founded in 1986 as a grassroots community school, we have grown into a vibrant, culturally-rich charter school serving over 800 students in East San Jose. Our unique Two-Way Dual Language Immersion program celebrates bilingualism as a superpower, creating a learning environment where student identity is honored and academic excellence thrives.

We are seeking a dynamic Middle School Science Teacher who is ready to create a classroom where curiosity is king, hypotheses are tested, and every student sees themselves as a scientist.

What You'll Do

  • Craft Dynamic Lessons :  Design and deliver rigorous, standards-based lessons that foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and a genuine love for learning across all subjects.
  • Champion Differentiated Learning :  Masterfully use differentiated instructional strategies to meet the diverse needs of all learners, ensuring every child can access and engage with the curriculum.
  • Cultivate a Positive Community :  Build a safe, structured, and joyful classroom environment that promotes respect, responsibility, and collaboration.
  • Partner with Families :  Maintain strong, proactive communication with parents and guardians through conferences, family nights, and regular updates to build powerful home-school partnerships.
  • Drive Growth with Data :  Use formal and informal assessments to monitor student progress, provide targeted feedback, and adjust instruction to ensure continuous growth for every student.
  • Collaborate and Grow :  Actively participate in professional learning communities, school events, and ongoing professional development to refine your practice and contribute to our school's success.

Requirements

You Must Have :

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies, Teaching, or a related field.
  • A valid California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential.
  • CPR Certification.
  • You'll Be a Perfect Fit If You :

  • Hold a Bilingual Authorization (BCLAD) and are fluent in Spanish and English.
  • Have at least one year of classroom teaching experience, preferably in an urban environment.
  • Believe in teaching the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally—with calm, patience, and creativity.
  • Are a reflective practitioner who uses data to drive instruction and possesses a relentless growth mindset.
  • Build strong, authentic relationships with students, families, and colleagues.
  • Are skilled in classroom management, creating a structured yet supportive space where students feel safe to learn and grow.
  • Are culturally competent and deeply believe in the power of educational equity.
  • Benefits

    Why You'll Love Teaching Here

    At Escuela Popular, We believe that great teaching starts with great support. Our educators thrive in a warm, collaborative environment that values connection, creativity, and excellence. With small class sizes, teachers are able to build meaningful relationships with students and tailor instruction to meet individual needs. If you’re looking for a school culture rooted in community, growth, and purpose, this is the place to make a lasting impact.

    We Support You & Your Family :

  • Free On-Site Childcare :  For both staff and students, because we know family comes first.
  • Comprehensive Benefits :  Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance for employees working 6+ hours per day.
  • Financial Wellbeing :  Competitive compensation, structured as a salary for full-time and an hourly rate for part-time roles, commensurate with experience.
  • Time to Recharge :  Generous paid sick leave.
  • We Foster Your Growth :

  • Classroom Support :  Collaborate with a dedicated paraprofessional to maximize your impact.
  • Continuous Learning :  Engage in ongoing, relevant professional development to refine your pedagogy.
  • A True Team :  Join a supportive, collaborative community where your voice is heard and your contributions are valued.
  • Ready to Join Us?

    If you are ready to inspire a classroom of determined students and become part of a school that feels like family, we encourage you to apply.
