Math Teacher - Middle Grades (Grades 6-8)
Math faculty will develop and execute instructional plans that facilitate scholar mastery of math standards. The Genesis E5 model supports greater possibilities. Faculty will challenge scholars to apply math as a tool to model and solve real-life problems, particularly in Economics and Finance. The result should be scholars who leverage higher-level math skills to better understand the fundamentals of saving, investing, building wealth, and economic decision-making.
GIRLS’ ACADEMY teachers should be creative self-starters who are committed to creating an environment in which our girls can become empowered, accomplished young women they were meant to be.
