Math Teacher - Middle School

Earn a $140,000 salary and join a team of master teachers at The Equity Project (TEP) Charter School, featured in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and on 60 minutes for its revolutionary teacher salaries and its outstanding results.

TEP’s middle school math department works collaboratively across grade levels to create and build curriculum designed to promote conceptual understanding coupled with standards mastery. TEP’s middle school math team has consistently placed in the top 5 in NYC (out of all 373 ranked NYC public middle schools), based on students’ long‑term growth in math from 5th to 8th grade. We believe that math is not just a tool, but a universal language that affords scholars economic mobility and develops leaders who are eager and equipped to tackle critical 21st century issues.

Using data‑driven expert instruction and pedagogical experimentation, we will develop reflective learners who actively take risks and achieve at the highest level.

As a member of The Equity Project's math team, you will teach students on your grade‑level for 90 minutes of math each day. Each TEP middle school teacher teaches one subject to one grade level in any given year, but may switch grade levels and/or subjects from one year to the next.

• Minimum of 3 years of lead teaching experience, at least 2 of which must have been in 4th through 9th grade classrooms
