7th & 8th Grade Math Teacher (Immediate Opening)

Green Acres School is seeking a full-time math teacher for our 7th and 8th grade students. The successful candidate will have an approach to the discipline that encourages a high degree of math fluency and problem-solving by balancing an established and successful scope and sequence with interesting and engaging projects. We believe that students are most successful when their ability to “speak and write math” is cultivated alongside their ability to solve problems by showing their work. The successful candidate will have a deep understanding of how math creates models of our world, and she/he/they will incorporate that understanding by teaching math not just as abstract problems and theory, but also as it explains and illustrates the world around us. The successful candidate will have the capacity to meet the needs of a range of learners—both engaging struggling students as they hone their number sense and teaching advanced math to students ready for that challenge. Our Lower School through 6th grade use the enVision Math program from Savvas. Our 7th grade pre-algebra and regular algebra classes use Sadlier-Oxford math books as the main text. And our advanced algebra program uses Sadlier-Oxford Advanced Algebra 1 as the backbone of the curriculum.

Middle School math teachers also serve as student advisors and engage students in social-emotional learning, as well as acting as liaisons between advisee families and the school. Core Middle School teachers accompany students as chaperones on overnight trips of 3–5 days once or twice a year. Finally, our math teachers incorporate competition work for programs like MathCounts into occasional lessons and lead math teams in countywide and statewide competitions.

Green Acres seeks an experienced classroom teacher who has a background in curricular and pedagogical innovation, with teaching experience relevant to this position. The successful candidate will possess the following :

A sincere love of working with tweens and young teenagers
