MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH TEACHER

DO YOU
● have a passion for MATH, the commitment to support student mastery of your content, and the critical
thinking skills that will set our students up for success in college and beyond?
● believe that potential, not zip code, should determine a students’ trajectory for their future?
● believe in the power of being a girl and that all students have the potential to graduate from high school, go
to college, and succeed in life?
● possess the willingness to collaborate with your colleagues and our school families, doing “whatever it
takes,” to make our vision for our students a reality?
If so, you are a great candidate to teach at Girls Leadership Academy of Wilmington, and we encourage you

to apply for our current Middle School Math Teacher position.

At the heart of GLOW Academy is a focus on “whole girl” education. We seek to foster the growth of leadership and
confidence in our students and build and sustain family support, all while engaging all of our students in a rigorous
college preparatory program. This means that GLOW emphasizes the following areas to ensure that each girl has a
successful 6-12 experience and continues on to college: leadership development, early college and career awareness,
health and wellness and expanded opportunities in science, technology, math and the arts.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR TO JOIN THE GLOW TEAM
At GLOW we recognize that teachers are the heart of the instructional program at our school. Therefore, the Girls
Leadership Academy of Wilmington is committed to the recruitment and retention of the highest caliber educators
dedicated to our mission and our students. We get excited about educators who are fired up about learning; who
want to spend their time discussing, preparing and immersing themselves in the content they’re about to teach and
how they will teach it; and who yearn to work collaboratively with their colleagues to build a truly integrated
curriculum experience for students. We’re looking for educators who believe that family and community partnerships
are crucial and reach out beyond their classrooms to build relationships that support student learning and success.

We value a hunger for feedback and the desire to engage in an ongoing process of reflection and growth for students
and faculty. Above all, we are looking for educators who are passionate and committed to single gender education
and our ultimate goal of closing the achievement gap for all our girls at GLOW.
The ideal candidate will have experience teaching the North Carolina State Standards for Middle School Math, and
feels competent to teach in a diverse and ever changing learning environment. We are looking for teachers who
understand that learning is a lifelong endeavor and who wish to continue to grow and learn as teachers, taking risks,
and refining their teaching for the benefit of the students we serve.
