In addition to four classes, the teacher will serve as an advisor to a group of students in a particular grade, as well as perform an additional to-be-determined duty at the school—options include committee work, coaching, running a student club or organization etc.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Stress effective oral and written communication in all classes and encourage careful listening skills.
• Create a safe and inclusive classroom environment.
• Treat all students equitably, be sincerely interested in them as individuals, and make a priority of responding to their needs.
• Hold high expectations for all students and communicate these expectations clearly and regularly.
• Hold students accountable for their actions and their learning.
• Engage and encourage students in the active process of learning.
• Incorporate appropriate and varied methods, materials, and technologies into teaching; have curiosity about how the technology of the moment may impact assessment design.
• Give timely, meaningful, and personal feedback on student performance and participation.
• Regularly communicate with department chairs, administration and parents about student progress and concerns as they arise.
• Serve as a faculty advisor to a group of 8-10 students.
• Attend all assemblies, faculty meetings, department meetings and required school events.
• Perform an additional extra-curricular duty approved by the school -- coaching, advising a student organization, serving on a committee, etc.
• Respond to evaluations from supervisors and students professionally and constructively.
• Be available to meet with students outside of class to provide academic support.
• Be available to meet with students outside of class to provide social, emotional and mentoring support.

Key Qualifications and Skills:

• B.A. or B.S. in Math or Physics, or equivalent experience.

• Prior teaching experience is ideal, but we will give serious consideration to recent graduates with strong academic credentials and a history of working with high school students.
• Commitment to academic excellence, interdisciplinary learning, and advancing the Core Values and Strategic Plan of the school. 
• Consideration will be given to candidates interested in coaching a sports team.
