The SEED Foundation is a nonprofit organization (and the last one we’ll be featuring this year) that builds urban public boarding schools to prepare kids in underserved communities for college. They opened their first school in Washington, D.C. in 1998 and will be opening their second in Maryland next year. Amazingly, 97% of SEED graduates go on to college, and 85% are on track to graduate after matriculating. Some of them might even be your classmates (here’s a list of schools attended by SEED grads).

Currently SEED’s public charter school in Washington, D.C. is hiring a Middle School Math Teacher, a High School Math Teacher, and a High School Science Teacher. It appears that these teaching jobs do not require a teaching certificate, master’s degree, or previous teaching experience; however, they are strongly preferred. We’re not sure how entry-level friendly these jobs are, but the trend in education is definitely for schools to look at new college grads. We hope the SEED Foundation is following the trend.

They will also be posting a significant number of positions in January for the SEED School in Maryland. These jobs will have a July ’08 start date, so they might be perfect for new grads – we won’t know until they post them. So be on the look out.

Note: On April 26th we revisited entry-level jobs at the SEED Foundation.
