Internship Math Curriculum Developer Jobs in Rochester, NY

Innova Girls Academy Charter School is on a mission to help Rochester's girls see themselves as leaders and problem-solvers. A STEAM based school, all students will engage daily in culturally relevant project-based learning that builds confidence and a love of learning. Our school is designed with these 6 key elements in mind:  

• STEAM Education for All: We believe that the future belongs to those who create. Our students deserve access to an education that equips them with the skills required to create innovative solutions that will drive society. Every day our students will take math, science, and computer science courses.

• Culturally Relevant Curriculum: We believe that all girls in Rochester are capable of academic excellence. We believe in fostering an academic environment that nurtures curiosity. We commit to providing access to college-prep curriculum that challenges and engages our students.

• Equitable Supports for all Students: With our focus on providing access to a challenging curriculum, we also know that we must commit to developing supports to students that position them to rise to the challenge each and every day. Through small group instruction and technology-integrate classrooms, each student will have access to unique, data-driven supports.

• Excellence in Teaching: We believe that each moment at school should work in service of academic and social/emotional development. In order to maximize our time with students, we have designed an extended school day. Efficient systems for teachers and students will put the focus on learning. We will use educational technology to streamline our work. We will support teachers to grow and develop as professionals.

• A Girl Scouts School: We are proud to partner with the Girl Scouts of Western New York. All girls who attend Innova Girls Academy will have the opportunity to also become a Girl Scout. Students will engage in leadership development and STEAM activities prepared by the Girl Scouts every day at school. With more than 100 years of demonstrated girl-empowerment, we are thrilled to continue the tradition of developing leaders through the Girl Scouts programming at Innova Girls Academy.

• An All-Girls Setting: We commit to designing an educational experience specifically with Rochester girls in mind. Traditionally, co-ed schools have lacked opportunities for young women to develop confidence of voice in STEAM. Our single gender school will focus on breaking down stereotype threat and proving that women belong as leaders in STEAM. With a focus on leadership, our students will graduate with the confidence to make changes in the world around them.
