Jobing Description

Invest in Indiana's future. Teach science.

The Scientific Method
(1) Ask a question: What is the state of student achievement in Indiana in the subject of science?

(2) Conduct research: On the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) exam which assesses students in science at grade 8, 53% of low-income students across Indiana are performing below basic in science skills.

(3) Construct a hypothesis: Effective teachers can accelerate student learning and close the achievement gap, regardless of other school-based factors.

Do the experiment: Bring your knowledge and passion into the classroom and make student success your greatest professional achievement.
