Job Description

Innovation Academy Charter School seeks a full-time high school Music teacher for the upcoming school year. Successful candidates will be passionate learners and collaborators who are committed to the school’s mission and invested in the academic and social-emotional learning of all students. Our school has a close-knit community of teachers, students, administration, and parents. Teachers serve as advisors to a group of 12-13 students each year, building strong relationships with students outside of the academic classroom.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about music education and committed to fostering an inclusive and creative classroom environment. Our music program balances performance, composition, and cultural/historical study, giving students multiple avenues to explore music. Music classes at IACS are highly collaborative, project-based, and responsive to student interests. Teachers are encouraged to incorporate technology and student voice into their instruction.

IACS seeks to serve all students within an academically rigorous and culturally responsive community of learners. Music teachers at IACS plan and facilitate engaging music instruction aligned with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks for the Arts, using established and teacher-created curriculum to support both skill development and student creativity. In addition to teaching music education classes, the teacher selects repertoire, rehearses, and conducts the high school instrumental ensemble, with performances culminating in two evening concerts (Winter and Spring), in collaboration with the arts department.

Situated in Tyngsboro, MA (near the intersection of routes 3 and 495), IACS draws a diverse student body from neighboring districts, including Lowell, Dracut, and Chelmsford, as well as Tyngsboro. Our community represents 19 languages spoken, 38% students of color, 25% of students on special education plans, and a community of students and staff that identify as LGBTQ.

IACS has a strong mentoring program for teachers new to the school and those new to teaching, including career changers. We welcome candidates who are committed to their own professional learning, open to feedback, and committed to collaboration.
