Our Mission: Innovation (“Innovation”) Charter School nurtures and develops students to be academically successful, socially mature, emotionally healthy, and equipped to lead self‑directed and fulfilling lives. We welcome all students, and we empower them to adapt, excel, innovate, and lead. By instilling the core values of collaboration, tolerance, respect, activism, safety, and innovation, students will graduate prepared for success in college and their careers.

About the Role

To achieve the mission of Innovation Charter High School, Math Teachers at Innovation ensure that our student‑innovators achieve rigorous academic goals. Often, these teachers co‑plan, co‑instruct, and co‑assess students in the mainstream classroom. With instructional support, our teachers collaborate to develop, organize, and implement an appropriate instructional program in an inclusive learning environment to enable all students to fulfill their academic potential.

Responsibilities

• Our primary goal is to ensure that every student receives a high school diploma and enters college or embarks on a career pathway.
• We believe every student can learn. Our Math Teachers ensure that each unit, lesson, and assessment is individually differentiated based on the specific learning needs and interests of students in their classes.
• Our teachers co‑teach five periods each day and employ models for effective co‑teaching to deliver standards‑based lessons that push the educational attainment of all learners.
• Use assessment data to improve student performance on school and State assessments.
• Our teachers work together with the STEM Department Team, Department Chair, and Assistant Principal to analyze data from NWEA MAP testing, Regents Exams, and student assessments to implement an instructional plan to meet the needs of each student.
• Cultivate Innovation's core values in our student body.
• Throughout our professional practice, we embody our school's core values of Innovation, Collaboration, Respect, Safety, Activism, and Accountability. We also encourage our students to exemplify these core values in their academic work and their conduct.
• Complete a minimum of 40 hours of professional development per year.
• Learning is a lifelong endeavor. Our teachers receive support and professional development from the Principal, Assistant Principal, IEP Coordinator, and Professional Development Coordinator, and may also receive external professional development.
• Provide out‑of‑class student support to achieve Innovation’s mission.
• Success at Innovation requires going above and beyond. In addition to classroom teaching, you will engage in our Enrichment Week, after‑school program, and extracurricular activities.
• Additional duties as assigned by the Principal or his/her designee.

Qualifications

• Hold and maintain a New York State Permanent, Professional, or Initial Teaching Certification 7‑12 History or be on a certification pathway, such as enrollment in a graduate school of education.
• 3 years of classroom teaching in an urban setting and a Master’s degree are preferred.
