High School Math Teacher

Job Description

KIPP Miami seeks an experienced High School Algebra Teacher to design and deliver a rigorous, college‑preparatory Algebra program. The ideal candidate has a proven record teaching high school mathematics and can lead courses such as Algebra I, Algebra II, or Geometry, while preparing students for advanced math pathways including Pre‑Calculus, AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AICE Mathematics, and IB Mathematics. Coursework will integrate career and technical education (CTE) strands (e.g., financial literacy, computer science foundations, engineering applications, and data science) and problem‑based learning tied to South Florida’s industries and higher education opportunities.

• Instructional Excellence: You design rigorous, engaging, culturally responsive math lessons that ensure mastery for all students.
• Advanced Program Mindset: You prepare students for higher‑level coursework (AP, AICE, IB, Dual Enrollment) by building strong algebraic foundations.
• CTE Builder: You integrate real‑world math applications and industry certifications, and you are eager to grow your own CTE skill set.
• Data‑Driven & Reflective: You analyze student evidence, iterate quickly, and share best practices with colleagues.
• Heartbeat Aligned:
  You embody KIPP Miami’s Heartbeat Principles by fostering strong relationships, equity, and joy in learning.

• Plan and teach a rigorous, standards‑aligned math curriculum (including Honors and advanced pathways) that meets Florida’s B.E.S.T. Standards and Miami‑Dade advanced program expectations.
• Design unit plans that develop mathematical reasoning across technology‑rich instruction and inquiry‑driven pedagogy, leveraging project‑based learning to strengthen real‑world application of concepts (finance, computer programming, engineering design).

• Develop assessments and performance tasks aligned to state benchmarks and advanced programs; use data to provide targeted support and track mastery.
• Prepare students for state exams, college‑readiness benchmarks, and advanced program entry points (AP, AICE, IB, Dual Enrollment).

• Collaborate with the mathematics department to ensure vertical alignment from Algebra I through advanced math courses.
• Provide equitable access to rigorous coursework that prepares students for AP, AICE, IB, and Dual Enrollment math.

• Embed CTE competencies and prepare students for industry‑recognized certifications relevant to mathematics applications (e.g., Microsoft Excel Specialist, OSHA‑10, Introduction to Coding, Data Analytics Fundamentals).
• Complete required CTE coursework and state examinations within the prescribed timeline (see Qualifications) and maintain all related credentials.

• Model and uphold KIPP Miami’s Heartbeat Principles in all interactions; create an inclusive, purposeful classroom culture with high expectations and joy.
• Partner with families through transparent progress reporting, student‑led conferences, and proactive communication.
• Prepare students for industry‑recognized certifications (e.g., OSHA‑10, CAD fundamentals, pre‑engineering certifications).
