What are part time science jobs?

Part-time science jobs are roles in scientific fields that require fewer hours than a standard full-time position, often offering flexible schedules. These jobs can include positions such as lab assistants, research technicians, science tutors, or teaching assistants, among others. They are ideal for students, professionals seeking work-life balance, or those looking to gain experience in science without committing to full-time hours. Responsibilities and requirements vary depending on the specific job and employer, but typically involve supporting scientific research, education, or laboratory operations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a part time science teacher, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Part-Time Science Teacher, you generally need a strong background in science (such as a degree in biology, chemistry, or physics) and a teaching certification or relevant classroom experience. Familiarity with digital learning platforms, laboratory equipment, and educational technology is often required. Effective communication, classroom management, and adaptability are crucial soft skills for engaging students and delivering lessons efficiently. These skills ensure high-quality instruction, student engagement, and the ability to manage diverse classroom environments within limited teaching hours.

What are some common challenges faced by part time science instructors, and how can they be managed?

Part-time science instructors often balance multiple commitments, which can make time management a significant challenge. They may find it difficult to coordinate lab sessions, keep up with grading, and provide timely feedback while working limited hours. Building strong communication with full-time faculty, utilizing digital tools for efficient lesson planning, and setting clear boundaries with students can help manage these challenges. Additionally, staying organized and proactive in scheduling can ensure a smooth workflow and maintain a positive teaching experience.

The Curriculum & Instruction (C&I) Department works to ensure outstanding instruction in every classroom. Sustainable implementation of high-quality curriculum is the most important driver of that aim and supports the growth of teachers, administrators, counselors, and librarians at various stages throughout their careers. We aspire to ground our C&I work in a set of shared elements.

    • foster the development of multiple literacies for application to college and career
  • Collaborate with New Visions staff to develop and implement teacher professional learning - including coaching, workshops, and other formats - across NYC, NYS, and outside of NYS, grounded in curricular resources and shared instructional routines and strategies
  • Study and facilitate curriculum implementation in school sites
  • Collaborate with New Visions staff to develop and implement coaching plans that support both teachers and instructional leaders in developing school-based capacity in service of the implementation of High Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) in science.
Required Education and Experience
  • Masters-level degree
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in public education, preferably urban schools and secondary level science
  • Minimum of 3 years of experience supervising, coaching, or leading teachers, ideally in at least 2 different school sites

  • Demonstrated ability to support teachers in implementing HQIM in science for students with a variety of learning needs
  • Experience leading a team and collaborating with others, using data to drive organizational change
  • Demonstrated commitment to data-driven decision-making, systems thinking and continuous learning as drivers of improved student outcomes
  • Skills related to the design, implementation, and assessment of effective secondary science curricula
  • Strong service and support orientation towards schools and school communities
  • Strong interpersonal skills to navigate the diverse cultural environments of a wide range of public high schools, and ability to work effectively with a wide range of school and district leaders and staff
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Familiarity with the NGSS or NYSSLS, and HQIM for secondary science, preferably New Visions and OpenSciEd science curricula
Physical Requirements
  • ability to travel onsite to NYC public schools across the 5 boroughs, multiple days per week, typically in 6 hour daily increments
  • walking up stairs
  • conversing with internal staff and external stakeholders
  • ability to operate a computer and other relevant technology, such as phones, screens, printers, and tablets
  • ability to carry up to 10 pounds (such as for a laptop and carrying case)
