High School Mathematics Teacher
About The Position
University School of Nashville is seeking a high school Math teacher with experience and expertise in teaching Algebra II and PreCalculus. This is a part-time position for the 2026-2027 school year. Responsibilities include teaching two sections of mathematics (likely sections of Algebra II or Precalculus), participating collegially in meetings and initiatives of the mathematics department and of the high school faculty, and taking an active role in the life of the school community. USN has a deep commitment to equitable and just community spaces. Candidates should be knowledgeable of research on how implicit biases in race, ethnicity, gender identity and socioeconomic class can shape curricula and pedagogy, classroom culture, and student outcomes. Candidates should be able to translate that knowledge into demonstrable actions that promote equitable and just teaching and learning. Mathematics teachers at USN employ a range of teaching practices, many of which embrace graphical, verbal, numeric, and algebraic perspectives. Similarly, teachers facilitate classroom spaces that feature direct instruction, discussion, group work, student presentations, technology-based activities, and experiential learning, all as means to invite students into the exploration and conjecture necessary for deeper understanding of mathematics. Moreover, we create environments that underscore the importance of effective written and verbal communication. Some of the mathematics classrooms have shifted their focus to embracing principles from the CPM mathematics approach and curriculum.
