Launch 9th Grade High School Math Teacher Job Description

Launch Expeditionary Learning Charter School is currently hiring to staff a brand new high school option for students of Central Brooklyn focused on tackling the two greatest challenges of our time– climate change and equity. The Launch High School will welcome its first 9th grade class in Brooklyn, NY in Fall 2025. Launch High School builds on the work of Launch’s middle school, an EL Education school that has operated in Weeksville, Brooklyn for 12 years. Launch's mission is dedicated to empowering all students to develop the knowledge, skills and character to disrupt inequities in society and build a better world. We believe that students at all levels can be pushed and supported to do more than they think possible.

Launch High School is a transformative, student-centered learning environment that offers one of the most innovative and impactful high school experiences in NYC.

Launch’s design is anchored by 4 Design Principles:

• Power of Joy: We infuse joy into every aspect of our culture and activities
• Everyone Belongs and Grows: We create a community where everyone feels known and valued
• Deeper Learning, Rooted Here: We embrace meaningful, real-world learning grounded in our local context
• Liberation through Action: We empower ourselves and others through learning, addressing inequities, and championing environmental and social justice
  
  

The student experience is grounded in:

• Groundbreaking Learning Ecosystem model design developed in partnership with Transcend Education and EdReimagined
• Competency Based Learning using reDesign’s Future9 Competencies
• Community & Work Based Learning offered in collaboration with the National Park Service, and local non-profit partners operating in sustainability
• Dual enrollment classes through local community colleges
• Pathways to Green Careers through opportunities to earn career-connected credentials/badges in Green Energy, Sustainable Agriculture, Marine Sciences & more

We are hiring our founding team to operationalize this ambition vision. We are committed to helping develop the conditions and an adult culture that makes our school is a laboratory of innovation, where growth and development of our staff members is prioritized. We believe that creativity, authenticity and hustle among our founding team are key ingredients to the success of our students in learning in a way that is truly personalized, and that can only be accomplished with comprehensive coaching supports that help our staff be authentically their best.
