Math Teacher- Advanced Math & Science III
About The Position
United Charter High Schools (UCHS) provide all students, regardless of their previous academic history, the highest quality education in an atmosphere of respect, responsibility and rigor. We ensure that our students have the skills and knowledge to graduate ready for college, pursue a career, and engage with the 21st century economy. We develop learning experiences that allow risk-taking, cultivate students' imaginative and creative abilities, and celebrate achievement. All United Charter teachers work with a diverse range of students to develop content knowledge and skills through collaborative classroom work, reading, writing, discussion, and authentic exploration/experimentation. Our vision is that all learners have equal access to educational opportunities where barriers to learning are reduced and learner diversity is recognized, supported, and embraced. Mathematics teachers work with a diverse range of students to develop math content knowledge and skills, primarily through collaborative classroom work around rich, authentic math tasks. Mathematics teachers will help pupils develop critical-thinking abilities by gaining an understanding of mathematics concepts and practices. All teachers use both formal and informal assessment data about student thinking to inform instruction. Core mathematics teachers (Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II) are also responsible for using an inquiry-driven approach to support student success on mathematics Regents examinations. Teachers may attend professional development workshops and meet with colleagues to collaboratively analyze data and plan an instructional response.
