Math Teacher, Grades 5-8

Job Description

Position also includes a homeroom and teaching religion to one class.

Ideal candidates...
• actively engage students of all abilities and learning styles
• create differentiated unit plans and assessments
• assign and review meaningful homework
• demonstrate effective classroom management by developing an understanding of students in their classroom
• collaborate with faculty, especially other members of the middle school "team"
• communicate effectively with parents and families.

Basic qualifications include...
• Be committed to the mission of Catholic education
• Have a bachelor's degree or higher in mathematics or related field
• Hold a valid New York State Certification or be eligible for certification
