For immediate start in the 2020-2021 school year, we are seeking candidates for a full-time hourly Technology Support Specialist. This position will support teachers across the PS-12 campus as they integrate in-person learners and students studying online. They will assist teachers in making use of the school’s classroom technology system and various educational platforms that allow teachers to work with online students synchronously and asynchronously. The person in this position will work with our other technology staff members to determine which teachers will need support each day and will also help respond to pressing, unplanned needs to allow lessons to continue without interruption. This position requires regular in-person attendance on campus and, in some cases, the person may be asked to supervise a class when needed. The successful candidate will be facile with new technology, curious, supportive, and patient. A bachelor’s degree and a technological background are required. Experience teaching and/or working with educational technology are a plus.
