Position Profile

Position: Teacher: Math Teacher - Goal Academy

Department/School: Jack Swigert Middle School Program

Reports To: Principal

FTE: 1.0

Days/Year: 187

Salary Schedule: 2026-2027 Teacher/SSP Salary Schedule, School Based Positions (Group A)

FLSA Status: Exempt

Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States.

The position is responsible for supporting students who require additional academic and motivational support to meet grade-level expectations and develop the skills necessary for long-term success. The role works directly with students—particularly those performing below grade level in mathematics and/or English Language Arts—to strengthen executive functioning skills, support goal setting, and build student motivation and engagement with learning. Students identified for this specialized program remain rostered to their previous school with the goal of returning once executive functioning skills are mastered and academic progress is maintained. The program emphasizes team‑building, executive functioning skills, resiliency, career interests, goal‑setting and action planning, time management, and academic success.

Teachers can expect their typical schedule to include social‑emotional learning, at least 100‑minute blocks for ELA or Math (whichever they teach) for Tier I and II instruction, an exploratory class, and serving as the teacher of record for online science and social studies courses. The teachers will work closely on a small team that interacts with all students.

The successful teacher candidate will bring a minimum of five years of teaching experience and a demonstrated record of improving outcomes for students who require additional academic or behavioral support, including students served in Title I settings, at‑risk youth populations, or similar environments. Experience working with secondary students is preferred. Candidates must demonstrate the ability to develop strong relationships with students while implementing structured supports that promote organization, persistence, and academic growth.

This role requires participation in required summer training to ensure consistency in program implementation and student support strategies. Compensation will be provided for required training. Candidates with additional background or experiences aligned to student intervention, coaching, mentoring, or related student support work are encouraged to apply.
