Instructional Coach Science 9-12

We’re Hiring a Science Instructional Coach (Contract) — NGSS-Aligned, Curriculum-Savvy Educators Wanted

Agiri Learning Consultants is seeking a high-impact Science Instructional Coach to support NYC and Greater NY high schools this spring.

This role is for science educators who can model high-quality instruction, coach teachers through complex NGSS-aligned curricula, and help teachers bridge prerequisite knowledge gaps within NGSS-aligned instruction—without sacrificing rigor or coherence.

This role is for you if:

• You are fluent in NGSS standards and science & engineering practices
• You have experience teaching and/or coaching with New Visions Science and/or OpenSciEd curricula
• You can model phenomena-based, inquiry-driven instruction
• You can help teachers bridge prerequisite knowledge gaps within NGSS-aligned instruction, rather than reverting to remediation or worksheets
• You anchor coaching conversations in student work, student thinking, and scientific reasoning
• You thrive in environments with clarity, high expectations, and continuous improvement

If you enjoy helping teachers make sense of complex science instruction—and modeling it yourself—keep reading.

Bonus (Not Required, but a Strong Plus)

Many science coaches bring strengths in Biology, Chemistry, or Earth & Space Science.
Experience teaching or coaching Physics—or comfort supporting physics concepts—is a strong bonus.

Physics expertise represents a growing need across our partner schools and a potential area for expanded work with Agiri.
