Technology in Lutheran Schools

Congratulations--It's May!

We are in the home stretch!

It's officially May and many schools are finishing up their 07'-08' educational year. What plans have you made to continue sharing in our professional learning network?

Summer is a great time to collaborate with other teachers and prepare projects for next year!!

We are currently looking for an outstanding Technology Instructor for our K-12 Lutheran school. We are one of the fastest growing Lutheran schools in the country, located in a beautiful suburb of Phoenix, Arizona. I believe we have one of the most exciting campuses in the country... and within 5 years we will be the largest Lutheran school in the country. We pay very competitively.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about Christ, passionate about children and families, and passionate about technology. Please check out our website at http://www.joyschool.org
