Additional Information: This is a REPLACEMENT contract, anticipated to begin October 16, 2023, through January 15, 2024 only or until the employee returns from his or her leave, whichever occurs first. This position requires a Special Education endorsement. SAMI Teaching Positions The Tacoma Science and Math Institute (SAMI), a science and math focused high school situated in Point Defiance Park in Tacoma, is one of Tacoma School District’s alternative high schools. SAMI’s vision is to create an inclusive high school learning community that provides integrated, inquiry-based experiences utilizing community resources, while combining science, mathematics, and the arts. Students study life science and physical sciences as part of a rigorous academic program that includes humanities, arts, and Spanish. Beyond the science focus, three things set this school apart from the typical comprehensive high school. First, the school is small in size; around 650 students make up the SAMI population. Second, the school is built on community partnerships with established community organizations. And finally, the faculty and staff collaborate with neighborhood organizations and experts in arts fields, to create project-based coursework with real-life applications. SAMI staff members are dedicated to the vision and work collaboratively to see it fulfilled. To encourage collaboration, staff members share students, planning times and desk areas. No classrooms are assigned to specific teachers, only class sections to instructional spaces. Instructional spaces include three buildings in Point Defiance Park in Tacoma, including Fort Nisqually, and the zoo and aquarium. SAMI instructors share all instructional spaces. Instructors collaborate with employees of the park and other local organizations to create engaging curriculum for students that meet state learning expectations and utilize the community and natural resources of the area. Strong-emphasis is placed on project-based learning and teacher-community partner curriculum development. SAMI works in partnership with its sister schools, the Tacoma School of the Arts (SOTA) and School of Industrial Design Engineering and Art (IDEA). Through the partnership with both SAMI and IDEA, SOTA students, families and staff collaborate and benefit from shared programming and resources.

January and June are a dedicated “mini-terms” separate from the fall and spring semesters, where teachers design and implement two integrated project-based classes. Staff coordinate and participate in monthly parent night activities, conferences, and professional development workshops. SAMI is built around the ideals of community, empathy, thinking, and balance.
