What are the responsibilities and job description for the Logic (Middle) Math Teacher position at regents-austin?
Job Description:
ROLE SUMMARY
Regents School of Austin is seeking qualified candidates for a position teaching 7th grade math (pre-algebra).
Candidates should have experience in teaching mathematics at the middle school or upper elementary level. Though not required, preference will be given to candidates with a demonstrated understanding of Singapore mathematics curricula. K-5 students use the program “Think Mathematics.” Grades 6 and 7 are considering the adoption of “Math Explorations” for the 2025-26 school year. A familiarity with teaching practices from “Building Thinking Classrooms” is also a plus.
In addition to formal experience, candidates should demonstrate the desire to cultivate the mathematical affections of students – to not only deepen their critical thinking and ability to problem solve but to structure lessons and curriculum so as to entice students to develop more positive dispositions, attitudes, and perspectives towards mathematics. Candidates should be in agreement with our Math Department Philosophy.
Candidates with an interest in taking their own love of mathematics beyond the walls of the classroom to outlets such as advising a math club or organizing community outreach events are strongly encouraged to apply.
Preference will be given to candidates who can articulate how their Christian faith influences and integrates with their understanding and teaching of mathematics.
