About Cincinnati Acceleration Academy

Our Cincinnati academy is the newest location in a national network of Acceleration Academies serving credit-deficient and disengaged high school students across multiple states. You are joining an established organization with a proven model and the full support of a national team, while helping shape a brand-new academy from the ground up. It is the rare combination of startup energy and the stability of a network that has done this successfully for years.

The Role

As a Math Content Coach (Math Teacher), you will serve as the primary instructional resource for our Graduation Candidates (GCs), delivering competency-based content, supporting personalized learning, and guiding students toward graduation and post-secondary success. You’ll work with a collaborative team to provide academic, social-emotional, and career-oriented support that empowers each learner’s journey.

Work Location

4030 Reading Road, Cincinnati, OH 45229. This position is onsite at Cincinnati Acceleration Academy. Additional cities listed on this posting reflect the surrounding areas we recruit from, not alternate work sites.

Key Responsibilities

Enrollment

• Support new GC enrollment through recruitment and engagement efforts
• Assist with the development of Personalized Learning Plans for GCs

Retention

• Serve as an advisor for assigned GCs by maintaining communication with learners and their support team
• Monitor attendance, academic progress, and overall wellness to ensure consistent engagement and achievement

What We’re Looking For

Education: Bachelor’s degree required, Master's preferred

Licensure Pathways: Not Yet Fully Licensed in Ohio? You May Still Be a Fit.

The right experience and heart for this work matter most. If your Ohio licensure is still in process or you are transferring from another state, we want to talk.

• Already licensed: an active Ohio Adolescence to Young Adult (7-12) license in Integrated Mathematics is ideal and makes you immediately placeable.
• Licensed out of state: we support Ohio license transfer, and our academy processes and signs off on Ohio credentialing in-house.
• On the alternative pathway: candidates with a bachelor’s degree in math or a related field may qualify to teach through Ohio’s substitute licensure pathway, and we support your path to full licensure through the Alternative Resident Educator pathway.

We will map the pathway that fits your situation. Our goal is to get great educators in front of students, not to screen out anyone whose paperwork is still in motion. All hires complete Ohio BCI/FBI background checks and Rapback enrollment.

2+ years of teaching experience (high school preferred)

Strong communication, time management, instructional planning, and collaboration skills

Passion

• Familiarity with behavior intervention strategies and alternative education models
• Experience with competency-based learning, instructional coaching, or project-based education
• Strong comfort with educational technology tools and platforms
