Job Responsibilities

As a Middle School Mathematics Educator, 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.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Teach foundational middle school math principles such as ratio/proportions, expressions/equations, the number system, and more
  • Use our in-house CCSS-based Math curriculum and culturally responsive problem-solving activities
  • Motivate students to grapple with problems and think critically about all the different possible paths to solving them
  • Use your love of mathematics to foster confidence and meaningful engagement with the subject for students

Data Analysis:

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

School Culture:

  • Build positive relationships with students to ensure they feel seen, loved, and heard
  • Partner with students' families to ensure appropriate resources are available to support their child's learning needs
  • Engage in practice-based professional development, mentorship, and coaching sessions
  • Participate in weekly, school-wide meetings to cultivate community, model our core values, and encourage student achievement
  • 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. Certification is not required to be hired at Uncommon, but you do need to meet NY state certification eligibility requirements. 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.

Additional Information:

Our people are what makes us Uncommon. We believe our compensation philosophy and benefits should reflect our values—equity, transparency, and clarity—to enhance our ability to attract and retain talent and reward their expertise. Our staff receive best-in-class training, coaching, and support to develop and operate mission-driven schools that provide a high-quality education to our students and families.

Compensation for this position: The starting compensation for this role based in Rochester is between $50,000 to $64,700. The starting pay will depend on various factors including but not limited to relevant professional experience, education, certifications, and tenure with Uncommon Schools. Because we value staff tenure in a role, we do not currently cap salary ranges for current staff members.

Other Benefits:

  • Generous paid time off inclusive of sick time and school breaks (spring, winter, and summer) + additional sustainability half days throughout the school year
  • Extensive, best-in-class training and development
  • Choice of 3 comprehensive health insurance plans
  • Pre-tax flexible spending and health saving accounts
