The Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts
(ASMSA), a campus of the University of Arkansas System, invites
applications from highly qualified candidates for a variety of
ten-month, full-time openings beginning August 2014. Instructors in
biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, and mathematics will play
critical roles in the development and launch of ASMSA's STEM Pathways
digital learning program.
The pilot program will offer Advanced Placement and pre-AP coursework in STEM disciplines to students throughout Arkansas via a blend of synchronous and asynchronous instruction. The experience also includes a monthly weekend lab session to build on course concepts in an advanced setting. Digital learning faculty will also have the opportunity to collaborate with ASMSAs residential program.
ASMSA is a public, residential high school for academically talented and motivated eleventh and twelfth grade students from across Arkansas. In 2013, ASMSA was ranked 13th nationally and 9th in the South in Newsweek and The Daily Beasts annual survey of Americas Best High Schools.
A Masters degree in the area of instruction is required. Experience in teaching AP courses and a demonstrable record of success in preparing students for AP exams is an asset. Applicants must demonstrate proficiency in working with gifted students, teaching through technology, developing interdisciplinary curriculum, team planning skills, and problem solving skills.
As a residential community of learning, ASMSAs core philosophy values the development of students interests and talents beyond the classroom. As such, faculty are expected to support student research, provide tutoring assistance, facilitate successful transitions for incoming juniors, promote the school through outreach programs, and contribute to the residential experience.
Preferred qualifications include a terminal degree and three years of teaching experience.
Candidate must be a US citizen or legal permanent resident.
Send a letter of interest, vita, three references, an unofficial transcript and a letter of interest to: Mr. David Slaymaker, STEM Pathways Coordinator, ASMSA, 200 Whittington Ave., Hot Springs, AR 71901. Documents may be emailed to slaymakerd@asmsa.org. Review of applications will begin April 15, 2014 and will continue until the position is filled.
