RIDGEVIEW CLASSICAL SCHOOLS is Hiring a MathTeacher Near Fort Collins, CO
Job DescriptionRidgeview Classical Schools is seeking interested and qualified candidates for faculty positions in the Mathematics Department. Ridgeview’s instruction in mathematics emphasizes a conceptual approach and cumulative retention. All pupils are given the opportunity to test into the highest level of mathematics in which they can reasonably be successful. A mainstay of the instruction of mathematics at all levels is a conceptual understanding of the math being undertaken; consequently, a Socratic discussion in the classroom supports this process and ensures that pupils can demonstrate the knowledge they claim to possess. Ridgeview is committed to a true liberal arts curriculum, meaning that arts and humanities are emphasized as much as mathematics and science. Consequently, many of the conversations that ensue in the classrooms are of a cross-disciplinary nature. Beyond the Singapore curriculum, Ridgeview offers courses from pre-algebra through number theory, advanced geometry, statistics, and independent studies in linear algebra and differential equations. Not all teachers are expected to teach all course levels. Rather, Ridgeview is seeking applicants who are passionate about their discipline, creative, teachable, and excited to work with a broad range of pupils. Ridgeview neither requires nor prefers candidates with a teacher certification and would rather solicit applications from individuals who have demonstrated academic mastery in the mathematics. Teaching experience is preferred but is not essential. Ideal candidates will be familiar with the fundamentals of classical education and defenders of the Western tradition. Interested individuals should submit a complete application to the Executive Assistant. A complete application includes: Résumé or CV Completed Ridgeview application (found on the Careers page of Ridgeview's website). Letter of interest. Copies of transcripts. A one- to three-page written response to George Polya’s On Learning, Teaching, and Learning Teaching found on the Careers page of our website. Upon submitting a complete application, candidates may be contacted for an interview with the Headmaster. Successful candidates will then be asked to conduct a mock teach and interview with a hiring committee. After this, final hiring decisions are made.
