Summary Description

Green Acres School is seeking a teacher of science for 5th and 6th grade students and 7th grade math (pre-algebra and algebra). Green Acres School is an independent, progressive school for students in pre-kindergarten through 8th grade on a beautiful 15-acre campus in North Bethesda, Maryland, near Washington, DC. With woods, a stream, athletic fields, playgrounds, and a natural amphitheater, the out-of-doors is an important part of the learning environment. The arts, physical education, and technology are effectively integrated with academic studies in a highly experiential program. In a learning environment that is joyful and supportive as well as challenging, Green Acres School provides authentic learning and leadership experiences. The Washington, DC area also provides many opportunities for rich, off-campus learning. To learn more about Green Acres School, please visit www.greenacres.org.

The successful candidate will get students doing science. We practice our progressive school values through a hands-on approach to learning, engaging students in the study of science through real-world applications. Kids are on their feet, working in groups, creatively problem solving, and exercising the skills of active learning. They take nature walks, study the creek that runs through our property, build and launch rockets, participate in a disease outbreak simulation, and design disaster-proof houses. Green Acres has embraced the maker movement, and our curriculum in Middle School engages students actively in coding, robotics, and 3D printing. Likewise, our science program promotes environmental stewardship through gardening projects, environmental exploration and study, and our certification as an MAEOE Green School. Altogether, we want to inspire students in every discipline and seek a science teacher whose creative approach to the real world will motivate kids to think and experiment scientifically, while also building a strong foundation of scientific thought and knowledge.

In line with our progressive school mission, the successful candidate as a math teacher will have an approach that cultivates a high degree of math fluency and problem solving, one that balances an established scope and sequence with interesting and engaging projects. We believe that students are most successful when their ability to “speak and write math” is cultivated alongside their ability to solve problems by showing their work. The successful candidate will have a deep understanding of how math creates models of our world and will incorporate that understanding by teaching math not just as abstract problems and theory, but also as it explains and illustrates the world around us.

Across areas, the successful candidate will have the capacity to meet the needs of a range of learners in a relatively heterogeneous setting. Moreover, the teacher will have an approach to each discipline that encourages deep knowledge and conceptual fluency.

The candidate may serve as a student advisor, mentoring students in social-emotional learning and acting as a liaison between advisee families and the school. The teacher will be asked to accompany students as a chaperone on overnight trips of 3-5 days once a year.

To Apply

Send cover letter, resume, and statement of educational philosophy to employment@greenacres.org. All three items are necessary for an application to be considered. Questions may be addressed to employment@greenacres.org or Kara Combs, Middle School Head to Karac@greenacres.org.

Green Acres seeks an experienced classroom teacher with a background in curricular and pedagogical innovation and teaching experience relevant to this position. The successful candidate will possess the following capacities: a sincere love of working with tweens, a passion for math and science, a love of teaching, curiosity and a growth mindset, the ability to provide differentiated instruction, and an interest in integrating technology into the curriculum. A bachelor’s degree is required; an advanced degree is preferred.
