Marlborough’s Vision Statement: Equity leads Education
Marlborough’s Mission Statement: Where Learning Sparks Purpose
We believe a diverse faculty is essential to the Vision and Mission of the School, for the following reasons:
- We instill confidence and cultivate leadership potential within each student, and serve as role models in inspiring them to pursue their personal best.
- We arm each graduate with the skills and motivation to create meaningful connections with people throughout the nation and across the world.
- We demonstrate the importance of community to our students, with teaching responsibilities that extend beyond the classroom and the curriculum.
It is our responsibility to employ a diverse group of educators who exemplify excellence in teaching and leadership, and teach by example as well as by pedagogy.
This position would focus on middle school physical science, especially chemistry and physics as taught in our 8th grade course. Our students develop a strong conceptual understanding through the exploration of essential questions, hands-on activities and lab experiences, and real-world data collection. Assignments and activities develop the ability to manipulate equations, graph and analyze data, exercise critical-thinking skills, and create and perform laboratory procedures. This course is taught by a team of middle school educators that work closely together to assure students in all sections have a consistent experience.
