At Marin Academy, our unique educational approach inspires teachers and students to work side-by-side every day immersing themselves deeply in their subjects while honing the ability to think critically and creatively. And because many voices are welcomed and encouraged at MA, our students cultivate the tools they need to live their lives fully— and the inspiration to contribute as compassionate citizens to our world.
Marin Academy seeks a high school biology teacher for a part-time (two sections), temporary sabbatical replacement for the spring semester.
The MA science department values a student inquiry-based approach to the discipline, emphasizing process and skill development. Our faculty strives to connect curriculum and students to the world. Candidates should have a background in the biological sciences and, ideally, some experience teaching anatomy, physiology, or biology. Ideal candidates will also possess initiative, technological savvy, a passion for working with students and participating in the everyday life of the school, and a good sense of humor. Candidates should also have the inclination and experience to work in a diverse community focused on issues of equity and social justice.
A forward-looking school, Marin Academy develops the tools, as well as the critical and creative thinking necessary for students to chart their course in the world. We empower students by putting them at the center of their education, and requiring them to play an active role in their quest for meaning and purpose. The curriculum focuses on problems, projects, and questions because we value thinking deeply about issues. All good schools value critical thinking, as do we. Great schools, however, value teaching creative thinking and problem solving. Scholars, athletes, and artists demonstrate our commitment to collaboration as they both learn and understand the value of working with others and grow their appetite to pursue their own passions, questions, and paths. Diverse perspectives are encouraged and respected as we value innovative thought and action, intellectual curiosity and individual difference. We also pride ourselves on being a community whose members appreciate how difficult it is to navigate adolescence and high school and display empathy toward each other through the ups and downs.
