South Bronx Early College Academy Charter School Hiring for Math Teacher Position at a Small & Supportive Middle School Job at Bronx, NY Full Time

Are you a math teacher who is passionate about engaging students in real-life math tasks… and pushing them to think like mathematicians and problem-solvers? A small & supportive middle school in the South Bronx is looking for someone like you!

The South Bronx Early College Academy Charter School (“SBECA”), is seeking passionate, energetic, and creative individuals to join our team. SBECA is a small, neighborhood charter school on East 156th Street that proudly serves over 300 wonderful scholars in grades six through eight. We strive to provide a rigorous and comprehensive liberal arts education through a challenging, New York State (NYS) Common Core standards-aligned curriculum.

We are currently seeking a math teacher to join us for the second semester this school year — a teacher with a background in any area of math, or a teacher of Special Education with knowledge & interest in math. (And this includes new teachers finishing grad school or looking for the place to start their teaching career.)

SBECA is committed to creating an environment for the whole community – teachers, students, and families – to grow together. Every teacher will be a part of a small grade level team that will provide them with academic support from a veteran teacher in their content area, SEL (social-emotional learning) professional development from a member of our social work team, and coaching and high impact feedback from a leader. Teachers will be asked to develop lessons with their team that engage students in relevant tasks that are truly interesting! Teachers also lead “advisory” groups that are designed to develop strong and meaningful relationships with our students and families.

As a teacher, you will:

• Design and implement units of study using project-based learning principles
• Collaborate with other departments to design lessons that are rigorous, engaging, and relevant
• Core academic classes use an “ICT” team-teaching model — the available positions would be for a teacher to be paired with a partner in existing classes
• Get to know 10-12 students and their families intimately as their advisory group leader and primary advocate – monitoring progress, supporting development, communicating with parents, and addressing issues in school and the community through guided discussions

NYS Certification in Mathematics or Special Education (or K-6 or general NYS licenses if you have interest/experience in science) is preferred. Teachers without NYS certification are invited to apply — specific exceptions are possible based on the candidate’s qualifications and graduate school study. Current graduate students are also encouraged to apply if they are intending to finish a degree in education & earn their licensing within the next year.

The school’s salary scale typically exceeds the UFT/NYCDOE salary scale by 5% for similarly qualified candidates. SBECA is an independent charter school that offers continued membership in the DOE’s TRS/TDA Pension system. We are conveniently located near the 2 and 5 subway lines and have parking for staff. We invite candidates to apply via Indeed or email [email protected] org directly for more information.
