Math
This full-time position requires the teacher to teach five sections in an environment that values collaboration and differentiated instruction: four sections of Middle School math at the seventh grade level and one elective.
- The seventh grade pre-algebra course focuses on transitioning students from the concrete concepts of arithmetic learned in previous grades, which use the University of Chicago Everyday Math Program, to the abstract concepts of algebra and geometry.
- The eighth grade curriculum presents Algebra I, either at a pace to complete the full course or at an introductory pace, depending on the mastery of pre-algebra concepts demonstrated by students enrolled in the section.
As a member of the math vertical team, the teacher will be responsible for collaborating with peers on curriculum and instruction, as well as on the progression of Middle School students’ math skills.
The teacher also serves as a Middle School advisor to a group of students. The advisor attends chapel with students, acts as their mentor, and provides organizational assistance and instruction of social and emotional learning lessons. The advisor works with the grade-level teaching team to plan, develop, and facilitate appropriate skills, conversations, and team-building activities for the grade. The advisor communicates regularly and as needed with parents and other teachers, conducts advisory meetings and discussion groups, and prepares for and participates in parent/student/advisor conferences.
