The position, by design, spans multiple instructional contexts. Responsibilities may include teaching small-group math courses, co-teaching in classes ranging from (but not limited to) Math 7 through Algebra 1, and providing targeted push-in or pull-out support for students who benefit from additional scaffolding. This role is well-suited to an educator who excels at adapting instruction, collaborating closely with colleagues, and supporting students with diverse learning profiles.

• Collect, analyze, and reflect on student learning data to guide instructional decisions and evaluate the impact of support.
• Explain mathematical concepts using multiple representations and approaches to meet individual learning profiles.
• Support positive student behavior through clear expectations, routines, and relationship-centered practices.
• Communicate consistently with teachers, learning specialists, administrators, and families regarding student progress and instructional adjustments.
• Participate fully in the life of the school, including advisory, faculty meetings, professional learning and community events.

Key characteristics for the person in this position include:

• A growth mindset and passion for mathematics and engaging learning environments.
• Desire, interest, and enthusiasm for working with middle and upper school–aged students.

• Strong organizational and communication skills.
• Sound judgment, adaptability, and reflective practice.
• Ability to work effectively with teachers, parents, students, and administrative teams.
