Middle School Math Teacher - 6th-8th Grade

About Mastery Schools

Founded in 2001, Mastery Schools is a public charter network of 23 K-12 schools in Philadelphia and Camden, serving more than 14,000 students. Our mission is to provide all students with the academic and personal skills they need to succeed after graduation and pursue their dreams. Student achievement is not just a goal for our organization; it is the reason we exist. Every member of our team is dedicated to securing student success, pursuing equity, actively disrupting systemic racism, and addressing the disparities that limit our students' choices.

Our culture is built on respect, service, and the belief that the success of our students, their families, and the communities we serve will help us achieve our mission. We foster a positive, open, and inclusive environment where honesty, humor, and continuous improvement are celebrated. Together, we are creating a model urban school district that serves all students with excellence.

The Opportunity

We live in a world where 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 at Mastery engage with the cutting-edge, open-source Eureka Math Curriculum to develop the skills and understanding necessary for strong mathematical fluency. Our Kindergarteners through 8th Graders learn with Eureka so that, from 9th through 12th Grade, they are prepared for the rigors of higher math. In high school, students study Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II, with opportunities for more advanced study in Precalculus, Calculus, and Statistics using our core program, Agile Mind.

Teaching math at Mastery means setting high expectations and providing high support so that all of your 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. We value Continuous Improvement and want you to learn and grow in your craft. 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.
