• Maintain a beautiful, organized classroom that celebrates mathematics and showcases student thinking and learning
• Communicate regularly with students and families about progress
• Collaborate with grade-level and instructional teams to analyze data, plan interventions, and strengthen practice
• Participate fully in coaching, professional development, and the life of the Bronx Arts community

What We’re Looking For

• Strong knowledge of Algebra I and middle school mathematics
• Ability to make complex mathematical ideas understandable and engaging
• Strong instructional planning and execution
• A commitment to using data to improve student outcomes
