Technology Education Teacher Grades 6-8 - Vacancy ID: 274921

Overview:
The School District of Altoona is currently accepting applications for a Grades 6-8 Technology Education Teacher with the projected start date of October 26, 2026. Once hired, a mentorship program will be in place to assist with the transition into this role.

We are seeking an educator who is passionate about providing engaging, hands-on learning experiences that prepare students for future success. Applicants should possess expertise and the desire in designing and delivering rigorous, relevant, and differentiated instruction while effectively assessing student learning and providing accommodations to meet individual needs. Candidates should be comfortable integrating technology and industry-relevant practices into instruction.
The coursework currently included with this assignment will teach areas such as measurement, material processing, FabLab technologies, engineering design, coding, electronics, Adobe Illustrator, Autodesk Inventor and technical drawing, Xello, and career pathways.

The successful candidate will communicate effectively and professionally with students, families, and colleagues while fostering a safe, engaging, and student-centered learning environment. The ideal candidate understands the unique developmental needs of adolescent learners and is committed to helping students develop creativity, problem-solving skills, collaboration, and career readiness.

Our middle school serves approximately 400 students, where you would join a collaborative team of two Technology Education teachers. Our educators work collaboratively through Professional Learning Teams (PLTs) to design engaging instruction, analyze student learning, and ensure all students are prepared for future success. While Altoona offers the close relationships and personalized experience of a smaller district, we provide the academic, extracurricular, and career-focused opportunities often found in much larger schools. Our supportive families, outstanding students, and collaborative staff make Altoona a great place to teach, learn, and grow.

Qualifications:
While a Wisconsin Technology Education (1220) license is preferred, applicants with other teaching licenses or individuals with technical expertise who are interested in pursuing teacher certification are encouraged to apply. The district is committed to finding the right candidate and will consider applicants who demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and passion necessary to excel in this role while completing the appropriate licensure requirements.
Applicants must be willing and able to teach students in Grades 6-8 and bilingual applicants may be given preference.
