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 environmental 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; a maximum of 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. To accomplish our goals, both staff and students work extended days and participate in weekly staff meetings/professional development. Staff days are from 7:45am to 3:45pm Mon/Tues/Thur/Fri, and 8:00am to 3:45pm Wednesday. Because of our extended day, staff and students work a calendar different from Tacoma Public Schools. For SAMI, the school year begins the last week of August, and ends the second week of June. All SAMI teachers teach four periods per day and 1 extended mentor group class on Wednesdays. SAMI’s schedule is considered a 9-period A/B/C block, with A days Monday/Thursday, B days Tuesday/Friday and C days Wednesdays. 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. All school activities focus on these school tenets, and these are established annually at the all-school overnight retreat in late August in Olympia, facilitated and planned by SAMI staff. All staff participate in the overnight retreat, teaching workshops, working with mentor groups and facilitating student activities. Retreat activities are altered due to COVID restrictions.

Tacoma Public Schools Human Resources will work directly with candidates to finalize proof of compliance with the Governor’s mandate prior to official hire. 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 environmental 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; a maximum of 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. To accomplish our goals, both staff and students work extended days and participate in weekly staff meetings/professional development. Staff days are from 7:45am to 3:45pm Mon/Tues/Thur/Fri, and 8:00am to 3:45pm Wednesday. Because of our extended day, staff and students work a calendar different from Tacoma Public Schools. For SAMI, the school year begins the last week of August, and ends the second week of June. All SAMI teachers teach four periods per day and 1 extended mentor group class on Wednesdays. SAMI’s schedule is considered a 9-period A/B/C block, with A days Monday/Thursday, B days Tuesday/Friday and C days Wednesdays. 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. All school activities focus on these school tenets, and these are established annually at the all-school overnight retreat in late August in Olympia, facilitated and planned by SAMI staff. All staff participate in the overnight retreat, teaching workshops, working with mentor groups and facilitating student activities. Retreat activities are altered due to COVID restrictions.
