About the Candidate We Seek
Our ideal math teacher candidate is familiar with and has an interest in Waldorf education. Our faculty is seeking a like-minded colleague who is committed to collegial collaboration, self-development, and excellence in teaching.
About the Math Position
Exploration of numbers is an integral part of each school day throughout the grades experience. A multitude of math activities enlivens morning lessons, subject classes, field trips, and after-school programs. Math classes, as such, are carefully designed to support the overall student’s development, and it is important that the activities offered throughout the day are consistent. We provide a holistic approach to math education by promoting imagination, enlivened games and puzzle solving, and tangible experiences in math concepts to build and develop a child’s thinking, feeling, and willing capacities. By building a strong foundation in arithmetic in the lower grades, upper grades students are able to explore a curriculum rich with experiential learning, creative problem solving and real-world application.
