Covenant is seeking a Part-Time Geometry teacher for Grade 9.
In the next several years, Covenant anticipates relocating to a permanent facility, doubling our grades of K-8, and adding grades 9-12. Our vision is for a comprehensive Rhetoric school program (grades 9-12) with 40 students per grade so the opportunities for upper-level math instruction will significantly multiply in coming years. If being part of this unfolding vision resonates with you, we encourage you to inquire.
The successful candidates will have a resonance with our classical and Christian philosophy of education, a teachable spirit, a readiness to work hard, and a love for Christ and students.
Preference is always given to teachers with experience teaching in a classical school, but we are also always willing to train the right candidates in classical philosophy and pedagogy, provided that the candidate’s educational background, professional experience, and personal convictions resonate with our distinctive approach, they are teachable, and ready to work hard.
Geometry will be taught Tuesday and Thursdays, with a math lab period scheduled on Friday for a total of 3 x 50 minutes periods per week. Classical schools emphasize a conceptual approach to teaching mathematics that pushes students beyond the manipulation of symbols to get answers and targets a deeper understanding of mathematical ideas and concepts. This adds to our students’ mastery and enjoyment of this important subject. In order to help our students grasp these ideas and concepts, the teacher must have mastered them in preparation to teach them.
We encourage anyone interested in this position to send a current resume and cover letter to Tom Stoner, Head of School, ([email protected]) to arrange an introductory meeting.
