Job Description

Uncommon Middle School Math teachers work in grade level teams to help students grow towards being self-guided learners. At the heart of all math classes is a deep joy for mathematics, and our teachers work hard to refine their own mastery of the subject. Math teachers use a variety of instructional strategies to cultivate the skills and the mindset required to persevere and solve problems. At the conclusion of eighth grade, students are prepared for the academic autonomy and college preparatory focus of our high schools.

  • You’ll use our in-house CCSS-based Math curriculum and culturally responsive problem-solving activities.
  • Youll motivate students to grapple with problems and think critically about all the different possible paths to solving them.
  • Youll use your love of mathematics to foster confidence and meaningful engagement with the subject for students.

2.     Data Analysis

  • Youll meet weekly with your principal and/or instructional coach to analyze and respond to trends in student work samples and assessments.
  • Youll learn and implement strategies to differentiate instruction for all learners in your classroom.

3.     School Culture

  • You’ll build positive relationships with students to ensure they feel seen, loved, and heard.
  • You’ll partner with students’ families to ensure appropriate resources are available to support their childs learning needs.
  • Youll engage in practice-based professional development, mentorship, and coaching sessions.
  • Youll participate in weekly, school-wide meetings to cultivate community, model our core values, and encourage student achievement.

  • Required Experience:

    • Academic expertise in Mathematics, Science, Technology, Engineering, or other related fields.
    • Prior to the start of employment, you must have a bachelors degree from an accredited college or university.

To meet these requirements, you must enroll in a teacher preparation program and maintain a GPA of 2.5 or higher during your employment with us if you do not have a degree in education. Uncommon Schools teachers are required to become certified in the state of New York within a reasonable period after beginning employment.
