About Mastery:

Founded in 2001, Mastery Schools is a public charter network of 23 K-12 schools in Philadelphia and Camden, serving more than 14,000 students.

At Mastery, we’re on a mission to provide all students with the academic and personal skills they need to succeed after graduation and pursue their dreams. Student achievement is not just a goal for our organization; it's the reason we exist, and every member of our team is dedicated to securing student success. We are also committed to pursuing equity, actively disrupting systemic racism, and addressing the disparities that limit our students' choices.

Our culture is built on respect, service, and the belief that the success of our students, their families, and the communities we serve will help us achieve our mission. We foster a positive, open, and inclusive environment where honesty, humor, and continuous improvement are celebrated.

Join us in creating a model urban school district that serves all students with excellence. Together, we can make a lasting impact.

This role is eligible for signing and relocation bonuses.

New teachers start at $60,000, with Mastery offering up to $82,000 based on experience and education. Salaries range from $60,000 to $106,500, with growth opportunities as your career progresses.

The Opportunity:

As a Math Teacher at Mastery, you will work relentlessly to foster a love of math with your students while growing and developing in your craft. From the moment they enter our buildings, young mathematicians engage with the cutting-edge, open-source Eureka Math Curriculum to develop the skills and understanding necessary for strong mathematical fluency.

Our Kindergarteners through 8th Graders learn with Eureka so that, from 9th through 12th Grade, they are prepared for the rigors of higher math. From 9th through 12th Grade, Mastery’s students study Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II, with opportunities for advanced study in Precalculus, Calculus, and Statistics. Our core program for Algebra I/II, Geometry, and Precalculus is Agile Mind.

As a Math Teacher, you will set high expectations and provide high support so that all your students can succeed. You will work alongside our Specialized Services and School Culture teams to ensure your students receive the help they need to thrive.

At Mastery, we value Continuous Improvement and want you to learn and grow in your craft.

You will receive more than 250 hours of professional development annually and have a professional development allowance to further your growth.

• Drive student achievement and set high expectations for all students
• Commit to professional growth, self-reflection, receptiveness to feedback, and a desire to continuously improve
• Implement rigorous and appropriate lesson plans, assignments, and assessments in cooperation with Mastery school-based leadership and curricular resources developed by Mastery’s central office Academic Team
• Work closely with school leaders to analyze student assessment data to measure progress and use data to inform instruction
• Collaborate in grade-level teams to discuss student work, share best practices, plan events for joy and humor, and ensure student mastery of standards
• Engage families in their children’s education by building relationships and maintaining regular communication
• Demonstrate genuine interest, belief, and care for students’ personal and academic success
• Respond positively and effectively to challenges with a solutions-oriented resiliency

Education, Experience, and Skills:

• Bachelor’s degree required with a record of personal, professional, and/or academic achievement
• Teacher certification - completed or in process
• Demonstrated expertise in subject area
• Outstanding instructional skills driven by data and delivered through rigorous and engaging strategies

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to physically perform the essential duties of the role, and to work in the environmental conditions required, such as: traveling to network campuses; maneuvering in office spaces (including standing, walking, sitting for long periods of time, speaking loudly and clearly, seeing and hearing things both near and far away); stooping, kneeling, reaching file cabinets/shelves; fine finger and hand manipulation in use of computer, chalkboard, dry erase, &/or projectors; filing, faxing, scanning, copying, typing, mailing, and making phone calls.

Mastery's Benefits Package:

Annual Calendar:

As you plan to make Mastery your new work home, please feel free to review our Calendar for the 24/25 School Year.

Why You Should Apply:

Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they can perform every job description task. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may come from a less traditional background. Mastery may consider an equivalent combination of knowledge, skills, education, and experience to meet minimum qualifications. If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your background and skill set for the role.
