Job Description

Description

CA seeks a dynamic, energetic, and creative mathematics teacher to join a collegial department as a full-time member effective August 2017. A full-time position consists of four sections of mathematics and an advisory.  The likely teaching assignment for this position will include Geometry.

Qualifications

A successful candidate will be not only mathematically prepared to teach a college preparatory curriculum from beginning Algebra through AP Calculus and/or AP Statistics but also one who strives to be innovative in his/her teaching and is willing to explore current “best practices” in CA’s technology-enhanced, student-centered, and increasingly investigation-based classrooms. We seek those candidates having demonstrated experience using various technologies (e.g., iPad, Geometer’s Sketchpad, TI calculators, etc.) on various platforms as a regular component of classroom practice.  Coding experience desirable, but not required.

Coaching abilities are a plus.

Background

The Upper School program combines a strong college preparatory academic curriculum with extensive and challenging programs in athletics, community service, and fine arts.  Students graduating from the Upper School apply to and are accepted at selective colleges throughout the United States.  Small classes, high standards, a faculty committed to the mathematical growth of every student, and an abiding belief that the most successful learners are the most active and involved learners, make the Upper School years the capstone of a student’s pre-collegiate education.  Learning at CA is not confined to the classroom. Learning opportunities abound. The school’s experiential Interim program, student-generated club activities, and a broad-based community service program are among the hallmarks of every student’s Upper School experience.

CA offers an excellent compensation package, wide-ranging opportunities for professional development, and an environment notable for its dedicated teaching professionals and supportive administrators.  Salary is based on education and experience.

Applicants are also invited to visit the CA website (www.coloradoacademy.org) to learn more about the school and its program.
