Aug 7, 2026 Job Description Riverfield Country Day School (RCDS) in Tulsa, OK, seeks a skilled and dynamic math teacher who can teach any level of mathematics. More specifically, RCDS is seeking an innovative math teacher who sees mathematics not only as a study and a discipline, but also as applicable to real-world situations. RCDS students integrate disciplines into a "Design Doing" mindset, an interdisciplinary approach to curriculum where learning becomes visible and knowledge is used iteratively to devise solutions to real problems.

We are an innovative educational institution that uses a "Design Doing," interdisciplinary approach to education. Students bring all discipline areas together to solve real-world problems, and education is more about action and "doing" than it is about sitting at desks in classrooms. Our mission is to "ignite adventure, inspire inquiry, build excellence, and empower students to change their world," and you see visible signs of this philosophy at our school and in the community.

• Participate in required non-classroom activities including parent/teacher conferences, faculty meetings, special activities, academic advisory groups, and performance events;
• Foster a confident and collegial atmosphere within the Upper School and actively encourage interdisciplinary opportunities with other colleagues.
