Teachers will be given anywhere from 2-5 schools to run the program at each week. Amount and choice of schools assigned will depend on seniority, availability, location, and experience. Teachers will be trained on the entire curriculum at our office in Laguna Hills and will be provided with all of the materials required to teach each unit. We have meetings on Fridays from 12:30-1:30pm where we do kit exchanges, go over weekly matters, and eat a provided lunch. A love for teaching is a must, a love for science is a plus (that can be learned).

A great job for: unemployed teachers, students entering or currently in the multiple or single subject credential program, retired teachers who are now stay at home moms, and others who have experience with large groups of children because:
1. Mad Science teachers teach science, an area where our schools really need to improve in, a great experience and attribute to have when applying for a full time classroom position.
2. Working for a branded and highly reputable international science education company, looks impressive on resumes.
3. Frequent reviews and evaluations done by seasoned credentialed teachers who have worked in public schools.
4. Ability to network with local schools (you will be checking into their main office weekly).
5. Great experience to be teaching 20 leveled learners in a self enclosed classroom all by yourself.
6. Mad Science provides optional guidance on how to market yourself to the schools you would eventually like to work in.
7. At the end of your first 8 week session the owner of the company will write a glowing letter of recommendation at your request.
8. Taught in the past but took time off to raise children? You can bring your school aged children with you while you teach, for free!
9. Always room to move up: office positions, birthday parties, assemblies, shows,workshops, camps - can be a year round job
