Leander ISD Campus: Cedar Park Middle School Job Title: Theater/Multimedia
Job Description:
Here is the current division of classes:
The other theatre teacher currently teaches 6th Grade Theatre (2 sections), Advanced Theatre (2 sections), and Multimedia (2 sections).
This position would teach Theatre 7/8 (3 sections), Tech Theatre (1 section), and Multimedia (2 sections).
A description of the classes you would teach:
Theatre 7/8 is offered to all 7th and 8th graders on campus. It includes students with a wide range of experience—some are taking theatre for the first time, while others have participated every year in middle school. This is a year-long, general theatre course.
Tech Theatre is also offered to all 7th and 8th graders and may be repeated. Some students will have prior experience, while others will be new. During production season, students use class time to support performances (costumes, props, set design, etc.). During the off-season, students learn about all aspects of technical theatre and apply their learning through hands-on projects.
Multimedia is offered to all 7th and 8th graders, but it cannot be repeated. Students learn the fundamentals of video production through project-based learning. The curriculum has been thoughtfully developed in collaboration with Mrs. Bower, so it is accessible even for someone with limited prior experience. This class also produces the school’s daily video announcements. Please note that beginning next year, this course will count for high school credit, so the teacher in this position will need to hold (or obtain) EC–12 Technology Applications certification.
This position would also alternate technical directing and directing the various CPMS productions.
