City and Country seeks a full-time Math Teacher for Grades 4-8, beginning late August 2022.
City and Country School is a coeducational independent, progressive school for children ages 2–13 in Greenwich Village, New York City. Children at City and Country develop responsibility and a strong sense of community through group experiences, such as block building and work with other open-ended materials in the Lower School and group jobs in the Middle and Upper School. Through trips, books, and opportunities for other first-hand experiences, children learn to ask questions and conduct meaningful research. We believe the teacher's place is alongside the child, posing questions that elicit imaginative thinking, problem-solving and decision-making in pursuit of a deeper perspective. An underlying respect for children, the group process, and a social-studies driven, interdisciplinary approach are among the hallmarks of our program.
The City and Country Math Teacher approaches math instruction with an interdisciplinary approach, finding authentic ways to connect mathematical understandings to students’ social studies. Two-thirds of their time is spent teaching upper elementary classrooms, while the other third is spent providing push-in support to 3rd-8th grade math classes.

- Encourage lifelong mathematical thinking and exploration for students
