>Hello, i met you once through my Dad (also James Dann) with the teacher
>institute. I'm sure you don't remember, but i was wondering if you could
>help me out by posting and/or emailing the below job announcement.
>thank you , james dann
>
>Currently i need your help; it is so hard to find good teachers who also
>know physics.
>Can you send the message below out to all your graduat students and any
>alumni you can think of who might be interested.
>I would really appreciate it.
>Saint Ignatius college prep in san francisco currently has one and maybe two
>opening for physics teaching positions.
>Saint Ignatius (SI) is a Jesuit catholic school with a student body of 1450
>and ethnic makeup reflecting the city of san francisco almost exactly. SI
>was the first high school to open in San Francisco (1851). Everyone at SI,
>including the student body, cares deeply about education and social justice.
>A Teaching credential is not important but a mastery of physics and a desire
>to improve oneself and physics education in high school is a must. Teaching
>experience is preferred (especially at the high school level).
>Although the school is Jesuit, being catholic is not necessary. Many of the
>faculty and the student body have other beleifs. The students are very
>motivated, and most are taking college classes (a.p. courses taught at SI)
>Junior and senior year.
>The physics program at SI is very strong (with 14 physics classes of varying
>levels and 4 physics teachers) and the opportunity for students to take two
>years of physics.
>Faculty at SI teach 4 classes (instead of the usual five) and are expected
>to collaborate on curriculum and lab development.
>We have a phyiscs budget of close to $10,000 per year.
>The salary scale ranges from $40,000 - $80,000 depending on education and
>experience. The school year runs from August 23rd to June 2nd. You will work
>very hard during the school year as excellence is expected, but the
>difference you can make in a young man or woman's life is a reward with no
>bounds.
>If you are interested in this opportunity please contact James Dann at
>jdann@siprep.org or phone 415-665-8336.
