Mary McDowell Friends School (MMFS) invites applications for a full-time Interim Upper School Education Technology Integrator beginning August 2026.
The ideal candidate will support students, faculty, and the educational community in the use of technology to aid in the learning process.
The position overview is to match students and faculty with the best technologies to not just enable the learning process, but enrich it.
The goal is to provide detailed and targeted instruction to assist someone learning the tools/process for creating their own content, rather than simply gathering needs, and creating the content for the student or teacher.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate a passion for education, working with High School teachers, and working with a team of IT professionals dedicated to the mission of educating LD Students.
The primary role is defined in two parts: Students and Faculty.
Students:
- Manage student technology issues as promptly as possible, as they arise. If this involves coordination with IT due to software/hardware needs, communication and follow-through should be detailed and prompt.
- Work with faculty to ensure that source texts (novels for English, textbooks for other departments) are as accessible as possible (through Audible.com, Learning Ally, or Kurzweil). In the case where source documents are not accessible, work with assigning faculty to facilitate accessible versions.
- Facilitate in-class technology use and troubleshoot technical issues as needed.
- Develop and maintain a comprehensive understanding of assistive technologies and their applications in the classroom.
- Collaborate with teachers to develop technology-based projects and activities that align with curriculum goals.
