Job Description
Position Summary
The Math Teacher provides an active learning environment to explore, discover, discuss, and debate the meaning of math. Building a sequence of experiences in a gradually enlarging spiral, the Math Teacher uses problem-solving approaches to meet students where they are and to develop their thinking and understanding. The Math Teacher inspires, instructs, and develops middle and high school students’ passions and curiosities and helps them think deeply about the world through various lenses of numbers and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, data analysis, and probability. In the Middle School, middle school courses are designed to strategically develop students’ mathematical understanding and skills. Students are actively engaged in meaningful mathematics, focusing on conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and application. In the Upper School, the two-year integrated math sequence follows a spiraling approach, applying mathematical processes to real-world problems and deepening understanding across key domains like algebra, geometry, trigonometry, functions, probability, and statistics. After completing the integrated math sequence, students may enroll in a series of electives.
The position entails a full teaching load comprising four classes with two or three different course preparations. Teachers also collaborate and innovate with colleagues across different curricular areas and divisions and attend weekly staff meetings for subject areas and divisions.
Teachers invest deeply in the school’s community by participating in the advising (called advocacy at NEIA) program with a group of five to eight students, contributing to social and emotional learning initiatives, participating in extracurricular activities such as explorations and clubs, and chaperoning weekend activities once or twice each term. The role is integral to enhancing the overall student experience, requiring a commitment to the various facets of school life at NEIA.
