Help shape what learning looks like in the age of AI.

What if students didn’t just learn about AI, but learned how to think with it, create with it, question it, and use it to solve meaningful problems?

At Mulgrave, we believe every student should graduate ready to learn, research, create, innovate, and solve problems in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. We’re looking for an AI Fluency & Innovation Teacher who is excited to help make that vision a reality.

This is an opportunity to join a forward-thinking learning community and help build a distinctive programme at the intersection of education, artificial intelligence, creativity, design, and innovation.

The Opportunity

As our AI Fluency & Innovation Teacher, you’ll lead engaging, hands-on learning experiences for students in Grades 11–12, helping them progress from foundational AI fluency to authentic applications of emerging technologies.

Your classroom might look like a traditional lesson one day, a design studio the next, and a student innovation lab the day after that.

You’ll help students:

Explore how AI can transform learning, research, creativity, and problem-solving

Design AI-supported systems, workflows, and solutions

Build and experiment with custom assistants and knowledge systems

Investigate authentic challenges and develop solutions for real audiences

Test ideas, gather feedback, iterate, and communicate their thinking

Understand the limitations, risks, biases, and ethical dimensions of AI

Develop the judgment to know when—and when not—to use AI

Become thoughtful creators and innovators who keep human thinking at the centre

What You’ll Do

Lead an Innovative Programme

Design and deliver Mulgrave’s evolving AI Fluency & Innovation Programme, helping students develop increasingly sophisticated AI competencies throughout Grades 8–12, with a particular focus on advanced experiences in Grades 11 and 12.

Make Learning Hands-On

Move beyond demonstrations and theory. Create learning experiences where students build, experiment, research, design, test, fail, iterate, and create.

Coach Student Innovation

Guide students through authentic design challenges, systems redesign initiatives, year-long innovation projects, and showcase experiences.

You’ll be a teacher, coach, facilitator, and thought partner—helping students turn ambitious ideas into meaningful work.

Teach AI Thinking, Not Just AI Tools

Help students understand that effective AI use requires more than knowing which button to press.

You’ll develop students’ abilities to:

Critically evaluate AI-generated information

Identify hallucinations and verify claims

Assess sources and recognize bias

Understand human-in-the-loop decision-making

Use AI to deepen thinking rather than replace it

Consider privacy, accountability, ethics, and responsible technology use

Explore What’s Emerging

AI is changing quickly, and so will this programme.

You’ll explore emerging capabilities, multimodal systems, assistants, workflows, knowledge tools, and other technologies, evaluating how they might create meaningful educational opportunities while maintaining appropriate safeguards.

Collaborate Across the School

Work closely with the Digital Learning & AI Specialist, teachers, programme leaders, and school-wide AI initiatives to connect AI fluency with authentic learning across the curriculum.

You’ll contribute to the continued development of AI as a signature element of the Mulgrave educational experience.

You’re an educator who:

Gets genuinely excited when a new technology makes you ask, “What could students do with this?”

Enjoys learning alongside students rather than pretending to have all the answers

Can turn emerging technology into compelling learning experiences

Loves project-based, inquiry-driven, and experiential learning

Is equally comfortable facilitating a discussion, teaching a practical skill, and coaching a complex project

Can navigate ambiguity and help students explore questions without easy answers

Understands that responsible innovation requires both curiosity and judgment

Believes AI should amplify human creativity, thinking, and agency—not replace them

Builds strong relationships and creates classrooms where students feel safe to experiment, question, and take intellectual risks

What You Bring

Required

Canadian residency and legal entitlement to work in Canada

Bachelor of Education or equivalent teaching qualification

Current BC teacher certification, or eligibility to obtain certification

Demonstrated success teaching and engaging middle and/or secondary students

Strong practical understanding of generative AI tools and workflows

Experience using AI to support learning, research, creativity, productivity, or problem-solving

Experience designing inquiry-based, project-based, and experiential learning

Excellent communication, collaboration, and relationship-building skills

A strong commitment to ethical technology use, digital citizenship, academic integrity, and student wellbeing

Comfort working in a rapidly evolving technological and educational landscape

Enthusiasm for experimentation, innovation, and continuous learning

We’d Be Excited If You Also Have…

Experience with:

The IB MYP and/or DP

Technology, design, innovation, entrepreneurship, computer science, STEM, digital literacy, or media studies

Interdisciplinary projects connected to real-world challenges

Capstones, hackathons, robotics, innovation competitions, or entrepreneurial initiatives

AI platforms such as Gemini, NotebookLM, AI Studio, ChatGPT, Claude, or similar tools

Systems thinking, design thinking, human-centred design, workflow design, or knowledge management

Student exhibitions, showcases, presentations, and portfolio assessment

Professional learning, coaching, or technology integration with colleagues

Privacy, data protection, and responsible AI in educational settings
