TEP aims to achieve educational equity for students from traditionally underserved communities by utilizing world-class teachers, while re-imagining the teaching profession as a place in which teachers prioritize their own growth—as pedagogical experts, intellectual seekers, and community leaders. About the Role (Responsibilities) As one of the three pillars of our program (Academics, Arts, and Athletics), TEP is deeply committed to building a classroom culture that fosters a genuine love for math and a positive attitude towards learning. TEP’s middle school math department works collaboratively across grade levels to collate, internalize, and differentiate curriculum designed to promote conceptual understanding coupled with standards mastery. TEP’s middle school math team has consistently placed in the top 5 in NYC (out of all 373 ranked NYC public middle schools), based on students’ long-term growth in math from 5th to 8th grade. We believe that math is not just a tool, but a universal language that affords scholars economic mobility and develops leaders who are eager and equipped to tackle critical 21st century issues. Using data driven expert instruction, pedagogical experimentation, and a deep passion for education, we will develop reflective learners who actively take risks and achieve at the highest level. As one of The Equity Project's middle school math teachers, you will lead teach students on your grade-level for 90 minutes of math each day, building deep relationships that support student progress and development. Each TEP middle school teacher teaches one subject to one grade level in any given year, but may switch grade levels and/or subjects from one year to the next. Middle School
