HS Math & Science Teacher (P/T)
Summerfield Waldorf School and Farm has an immediate opening for a part-time High School Math & Science Teacher. We are seeking a teacher with a broad imagination for teaching math and science phenomenologically: guiding students to insight through lived encounters with the real world rather than teaching rote concepts. The science curriculum, which covers Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Science, builds on itself over the four grades, in accordance with the development of thinking and consciousness of the high school students by age. Science and math teachers work collaboratively to bring the subject they are most skilled in teaching. Math tracks span Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry and Calculus and require the curiosity and creativity to work with students of varying abilities simultaneously. Math blocks may include 10th grade Sacred Geometry and Conic Sections, and 11th grade Projective Geometry, as well as 8th grade Platonic Solids. The hourly rate is $43.01.
As many of these classes are unique to Waldorf schools, the ideal candidate would have Waldorf experience, and a willingness to be trained in Waldorf pedagogy is a requirement. The Math and Science department is made up of several faculty members with different concentrations, most of whom share the Math curriculum.
Please email your letter of intention, along with a resume, to Michelle Bovard, HR Manager at: michelle@summerfieldwaldorf.org. Please also include three references (with phone numbers), at least two of whom have seen you teach.
