Job Description

As a Middle School Math Teacher at Uncommon Schools, you will be part of a team that is dedicated to providing a high-quality education to our students. You will 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.

Responsibilities
  • You will teach foundational middle school math principles such as ratio/proportions, expressions/equations, the number system, and more.
  • You will use our in-house CCSS-based Math curriculum and culturally responsive problem-solving activities.
  • You will motivate students to grapple with problems and think critically about all the different possible paths to solving them.
  • You will use your love of mathematics to foster confidence and meaningful engagement with the subject for students.
Data Analysis
  • You will meet weekly with your principal and/or instructional coach to analyze and respond to trends in student work samples and assessments.
  • You will learn and implement strategies to differentiate instruction for all learners in your classroom.
School Culture
  • You will build positive relationships with students to ensure they feel seen, loved, and heard.
  • You will partner with students' families to ensure appropriate resources are available to support their child's learning needs.
  • You will engage in practice-based professional development, mentorship, and coaching sessions.
  • You will participate in weekly, school-wide meetings to cultivate community, model our core values, and encourage student achievement.
  • You will partner with your grade-level team to develop academic goals and practice instructional strategies.
Qualifications
  • A commitment to the mission of Uncommon Schools and investment in our vision for being an anti-racist organization.
  • A demonstrated commitment to supporting students' social-emotional and academic development.
  • An enthusiasm for collaborating with internal and external partners in the best interest of students.
  • A self-directed learner who solicits and implements feedback to improve outcomes and achieve objectives.
  • Required Experience:
    • A demonstrated interest in impacting K-12 students in urban schools and communities (1-2 years experience preferred).
    • Academic expertise in Mathematics, Science, Technology, Engineering, or other related fields.
    • Prior to the start of employment, you must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university and have earned a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher by the time employment begins. You do not need to be certified to be hired; however, if hired you will need to pass state teacher certification tests to meet the MA state requirements.
    • All Commonwealth charter teachers must either have an appropriate MA educator's license or pass required the MTEL(s) including the Communications and Literacy MTEL, Subject Specific MTEL, and the MTEL SEI (Sheltered English Immersion) Endorsement within first year of employment. All core academic teachers* assigned to teach English learners are required to earn the SEI endorsement. Any teacher without a SEI endorsement has one year from date of assignment to teach ELs, to earn the MTEL SEI endorsement.
