Position Number: 2291597
Location: New York City, NY
Position Type: Computer and Information Technology

The Brearley School, an independent girls' school serving over 700 students K-12, welcomes candidates for a full-time, one-year leave replacement position as Teacher of Math in the Middle and Upper Schools. The members of Brearley's Math Department teach grades 4 – 12, through BC Calculus and Linear Algebra.

Founded in 1884, the school is a center of intellectual exuberance, attracting students from across and beyond New York City. Its mission has long combined outstanding academics with an insistence on larger purpose: we seek to prepare our students for principled engagement in the world. We are committed to building an antiracist community. We expect our faculty, staff, students, parents and trustees to pursue meaningful change through deliberate and measurable actions.

Brearley teachers love to teach students who love to learn. They have the wisdom and skill to spark in them a pioneering spirit as well as the ability to think critically and creatively. We count on our faculty to create and maintain an atmosphere of honesty, generosity and genuine respect for the thoughts, efforts, and feelings of others. Many are scholars, artists or athletes.

This position, like many at the school, entails cross-divisional teaching, which is an essential aspect of our program. We educate our students with a network of teachers who know them for years, who recognize that they flourish in their own time, and who know where the curriculum begins and how it will proceed.

A Brearley education is rooted in ideas and practices that have been developed over time and through thoughtful, deliberate collaboration. We encourage new faculty to bring new ideas and fresh insights that might enhance a strong, beloved foundation.

The ideal candidate will have a genuine passion for and command of subject matter; a sincere interest in young people and an appreciation for the variety of ways in which they grow and learn; excellent communications skills; fairness, consistency and promptness in evaluating student work and in responding to students' individual progress; the desire to collaborate; a collegial spirit and a sense of humor; and a commitment to helping students think independently and develop confidence in their own abilities.

The Brearley School is an equal employment opportunity employer committed to hiring exceptional, dedicated teachers of diverse backgrounds.
