What are NGSS?

NGSS stands for Next Generation Science Standards, which are K-12 science content standards developed to improve science education for all students. These standards emphasize a three-dimensional approach to science instruction, integrating disciplinary core ideas, science and engineering practices, and crosscutting concepts. NGSS aims to prepare students for college, careers, and citizenship by focusing on deeper understanding of content, critical thinking, and inquiry-based learning.

Why You Should Apply:
 
Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they can perform every job description task. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may come from a less traditional background. Mastery may consider an equivalent combination of knowledge, skills, education, and experience to meet minimum qualifications. If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your background and skill set for the role.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist Mastery's Talent Acquisition Team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
