3 weeks ago

Austin, Texas, United States Trinity Episcopal School of Austin Full time

Trinity Episcopal School seeks a highly qualified math and homeroom teacher.

Trinity Episcopal School is an inclusive, forward-thinking, faith-based K-8 independent school that meets each student where they are to nurture the whole child's academic, social, physical, emotional, and spiritual growth. Trinity is located in West Lake Hills, close to downtown Austin, Texas.

Overview of position:

The Lower School lead teacher is charged with successful management of the homeroom classroom, as well as collaboratively teaching within a semi-departmentalized team structure. The 3rd grade math lead teacher is responsible for the teaching of mathematics to all grade level students and for the general supervision and management of all aspects of a homeroom classroom of students, including not only academic growth, but also social and interpersonal growth. The teaching of the Social Studies curriculum is also a responsibility, and the lead teacher is expected to communicate with parents throughout the year through newsletters, website portals, informal meetings, conferences, and report cards. He/She will work closely with grade-level partners, specialists, fellows, the counselor, and other colleagues to ensure all students make academic and social progress.

Responsibilities:

The math teacher is expected to work alongside colleagues to implement the Trinity mathematics curriculum and create a consistent classroom environment for all students in the given grade level. Concepts and questions are explored on a deep level and we encourage multiple ways to approach a problem. Practices are utilized that support a wide variety of math capabilities and allow for differentiated instruction. Number sense is a core component and is regularly emphasized and developed. Student progress is consistently monitored through a variety of assessments (formal and informal, formative and evaluative) to make informed decisions regarding instruction and practice.

Additionally, Trinity homeroom teachers are charged with overseeing the holistic growth of each child assigned to the homeroom and providing guidance for each student by forming a positive student-teacher relationship. Lead teachers observe the challenges and successes of each child in all areas and teach into these areas and/or collaborate with colleagues to teach into these areas and nurture each student's growth. Lead teachers facilitate home-school communication by serving as the primary contact with parents regarding the curriculum, grade level activities, school events, and student progress. Lead teachers complete report cards and narratives, conduct parent conferences, and maintain accurate records. Additionally, grade-level lead teachers plan grade-level activities such as field trips, service-projects, celebrations, and guest speakers.
