The Opportunity

Math unlocks a future of possibilities. As a Math Teacher at Mastery, you will work relentlessly to foster a love of math with your students while growing and developing in your craft. From the moment they enter our buildings, young mathematicians engage with the cutting-edge, open-source Eureka Math Curriculum to develop the skills and understanding necessary for strong mathematical fluency.

In our 3-5 Math Program, students learn grade-level content defined by the CCSS by engaging with challenging problems and learning from their peers' thinking through facilitated discussion. You will set high expectations and provide high support so that all students are able to succeed. You will work alongside our Specialized Services and School Culture teams to ensure your students receive the help they need to thrive.

At Mastery, we value Continuous Improvement. You will receive coaching and feedback from a team of Assistant Principals, central-office coaches, and school-based content teams. Professional development and peer collaboration time are built into our staff calendar, and you will receive annual professional development plus a professional development allowance to further your growth.

Why You Should Apply

Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they can perform every job description task. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may come from a less traditional background. Mastery may consider an equivalent combination of knowledge, skills, education, and experience to meet minimum qualifications. If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your background and skill set for the role.
