Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO) Part-time Math Instructor, Scholars Program
Program Description
The SEO Scholars Program provides motivated San Francisco public high school students with an out-of-school supplemental academic curriculum, college guidance, and the leadership development necessary to gain admission to, and succeed in, selective colleges and universities.
Job Description:
Part-time SEO Math Instructors are responsible for teaching an appropriately challenging and rigorous course during Saturday Academy (9:00 AM-4:30 PM) and twice a week after school (4:30-6:30). Classes meet approximately three Saturdays per month and after school during the schools year, and instructors should expect about twelve to twenty motivated, enthusiastic Scholars per class.
Instructors’ primary responsibilities are to plan and conduct classes according to SEO lesson plans in algebra, geometry, trigonometry and problem solving; monitor and report the progress of each of their Scholars; and participate in orientation and faculty meetings. We favor a pedagogical approach that includes direct instruction and modeling as well as small group and independent work. This requires that instructors “bring to life” the Scholars Program curriculum, remain flexible in their pedagogy, and work to create and manage an effective, engaging learning environment.
Qualifications:
The ideal candidate is:
- A creative, broadly trained mathematician with an expressed interest in teaching mathematics.
- A college graduate or graduate/doctoral student with proven excellence in mathematics.
- The candidate must enjoy working with high school students. Strong interpersonal and oral communication skills are required. Experience working with diverse staff and student population and familiarity with interdisciplinary curricula will strengthen applications.
- Equivalent combination of education, training and experience may be considered.
- Per diem compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience.
