Scope: The math department provides classes up to the AP BC Calculus and AP
Statistics level. It seeks to challenge students to gain a genuine understanding and
enjoyment of mathematics rather than simply relying on formulas. Students grow
through a combination of rigorous expectations and strong supportive teacher
relationships. The department has integrated the Singapore math approach into the
middle school curriculum.

Major responsibilities: The full-time or part-time position may cover classes
ranging from Transition and Pre-Algebra in the Middle School through AP Calculus,
AP Computer Science, and AP Statistics in the Upper School. Flexibility to co-teach a
course is expected. Apart from the various preparations necessary for producing
dynamic, challenging, and inspiring classes, all teachers have a range of duties.

These include:

• Participation in and contribution to the life of the department and broader
  faculty whether through discussions about teaching, curriculum, or latest
  developments in their disciplines;
• Willing and active engagement with students outside of class through open
  availability for extra help, running an advisory, and running one significant
  extra activity (coaching, etc.);
• Willingness to explore and collaborate with fellow department members and
  the broader faculty to design and run the school’s annual interdisciplinary
  programs which bring social justice, leadership, and the academic subjects
  together;
• Other duties that contribute to the smooth running of a busy and engaging
  school life are expected of all faculty as assigned.
  Education and experience: A Bachelor’s degree in math is a basic requirement.
  Preference is given to those with an advanced degree and / or experience teaching
  at the middle and high school age. 3-5 years of experience is preferred, but a
  supportive department can also guide newer teachers via our Teaching Fellow
  program.

Above all the ideal candidate will demonstrate an ability to inspire students to a love
of math and a willingness to take risks to achieve excellent results beyond their
imagined capacity.

Teaching culture: Boston Trinity Academy is an independent college prep school –
we are entering our 25th year of operations – with big aspirations. We aim to
provide an education of outstanding quality to a broad cross section of Boston urban
and suburban students. We believe that by emphasizing high quality in our
programs we will provide students with the inspiration to commit themselves to

doing well not just in areas they find comfortable. We expect students to learn to
risk and to risk to learn. To that end we seek teachers who are masters of their
disciplines and who are willing to maintain the expectation of high achievement.
This should be not just with enthusiastic well-prepared students, of whom we have
many, but with students who are full of uncertainty and fear because of poor
foundations or who lack the preparation necessary for acting with confidence in
unfamiliar situations. The faculty here are flexible, collegiate, collaborative, willing
to try new ideas, but grounded in traditional goals of excellence for all students.
