St. Mark’s School of Texas seeks an experienced math educator to join our Upper School faculty for the 2020-2021 school year. A strong candidate will be a compassionate, student-centered teacher with knowledge and understanding of the developmental needs of adolescent boys. Additionally, candidates will have a substantive command of mathematical concepts across the range of topics, specifically AP Statistics and precalculus. Candidates will demonstrate experience using a range of teaching methods, and will possess a joy for teaching and the habits of lifelong learning.
Strong candidates will design lessons that lead to mastery of concepts and skills with and without technologies (graphing calculator, iPad applications, appropriate software, etc.). Additionally, successful candidates will develop lesson plans using a variety of teaching methods. Lessons should include multiple representations of concepts, including verbal, graphical, numerical, and analytic. Candidates must communicate mathematics in a clear and expressive manner, using correct terminology and notation.
