Computer Science/Technology Teaching Jobs

Over the last few decades, the rise in new technology — and the effects technology have on education — has been staggering. Toddlers who can barely speak are adept at using iPads; young children are more computer-literate than their parents; teenagers are writing code and building websites. If you are excited by the possibilities computer science and technology produce for education and for our country's future, then you might consider a position as a computer science teacher or technology director in an independent school.

Teaching Computer Science and Directing Technology at an Independent School

The innovation and advancement that have defined the childhood years of the new millennium have produced an enhanced computer science and technology curriculum in independent schools. Education extends beyond the computer lab; increasingly, schools employ leaders who can help teachers integrate technology into daily classroom life.
