WHO WE ARE

Holland Hall was established in 1922 and currently serves approximately 1,000 preschool through 12th grade students in a coeducational setting. An Episcopal school distinguished by an excellent academic program and a student-centered environment emphasizing a holistic approach to education, we strive to provide a challenging, comprehensive educational experience grounded in a rigorous liberal arts college preparatory curriculum that promotes critical thinking and life-long learning. We seek to foster in each student a strong moral foundation and a deep sense of social responsibility. The Holland Hall community welcomes students of diverse racial, cultural, and religious backgrounds.

THIS POSITION

We are seeking a teacher with an engaging and enthusiastic classroom presence who demonstrates a broad knowledge of mathematics and current math pedagogy. This person should be comfortable teaching mathematics by emphasizing conceptual connections and understanding, rather than rote memorization.  Preference will be given to candidates who can teach a variety of levels, potentially including Calculus and/or Statistics. Specific course assignments are determined each year, as enrollment warrants.

In this role you will teach five sections of Math classes, with three preparations. This includes planning and presenting content, providing timely and meaningful feedback to students, collaborating with colleagues to norm the classroom experience, and providing individualized help to meet student needs.  

This person will be an advisor to a small number of students and monitor and support their progress. At times, advocating for a student and communication with their parents/caregivers will be necessary. 

As a community we have four Educator Competencies that distinguish our faculty, their work, and engagement in professional learning as lifelong learners. 

WHO YOU ARE - Someone who strives for and seeks opportunities to grow in the following areas.

• Communicate with Positive Intent: Communities built on trust, care, and communication with positive intent create a healthy and supportive learning environment for faculty, students, and families.
• Engagement in Professional Growth: Educators who engage in professional learning and employ practices of self-reflection model lifelong learning and strive to create the conditions for each student’s success. 
• Build Collaborative Communities: Communities built on trust, care, collaboration, and high expectations connect and empower students, faculty, and families. 
• Design for Student Success: Teaching that creates a strong sense of belonging and incorporates best practices grounded in mind, brain, and education science empowers students to recognize strategies that improve learning outcomes. 

The above essential functions are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed. They are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all duties, responsibilities, and skills. Employees are expected to perform other job-related duties as assigned.  

When you meet Holland Hall teachers, you will observe that they are joyful in their work with children, they are adaptive as they work to support all members of our close knit community. Our faculty appreciate the values of the Episcopal tradition and are committed to creating an outstanding experience for all who are a part of the Holland Hall School.
