The San Francisco School seeks a Middle School Math Teacher interested in

student-teacher town meetings, camping and backpacking trips, teaching an
8-week elective class,
writing high school recommendations, and shared duties such as recess
supervision, chaperoning
dances and service learning projects. All teachers also come together on a
regular basis to examine
student work, discuss best teaching practices, and hone professional skills.
Qualifications sought
We seek a talented teacher who can inspire students. Candidates must have
strong
preparation in mathematics, have successful middle or high school teaching
experience, and
exhibit excellent communication skills. Cultural competence and the ability
to work
collaboratively are essential. Candidates should be student-centered,
practiced in
differentiated instruction, and skilled at honing student skills. A
teaching credential or a related
MA degree and three years of successful work as a teacher are recommended.
Overview of School
The San Francisco School is an independent school, pre-K through eighth
grade, with a
commitment to a multicultural and inclusive community. Suitably
characterized by one parent
as an "urban school with a village atmosphere," The School embraces San
Francisco's ethnic,
cultural, and economic diversity. Our progressive approach to education
encourages children
to develop self-reliance, solid academic skills, creativity, and a sense of
social justice. Students
learn to think like disciplinarians in a field, consider big and central
ideas, and are supported in
seeking and developing their own passions. They graduate academically
prepared, inquisitive,
courageous, and eager for the challenges ahead.
