26-27 High School Geometry Teacher

KIPP Miami seeks an experienced High School Geometry Teacher to design and deliver a rigorous, college‑preparatory Geometry program. The ideal candidate has a proven record teaching high school mathematics and can lead courses such as Geometry Honors, Advanced Geometry, and pathways preparing students for Algebra II Honors, Pre‑Calculus, AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AICE Mathematics, and IB Mathematics. Coursework will integrate career and technical education (CTE) strands (e.g., architecture, engineering, design technology, construction, and computer-aided design [CAD]) and problem‑based learning tied to South Florida’s industries and STEM opportunities.

What We’re Looking For

• Instructional Excellence: You plan backwards, differentiate effectively, and deliver engaging, culturally responsive lessons that move all learners to mastery.

• Advanced Program Mindset: You believe AP/AICE/IB/Dual Enrollment pathways are for all students and you expand access while maintaining rigor.

• CTE Builder: You connect mathematics to real careers (architecture, design, engineering, construction) through authentic projects and certifications, and you are eager to grow your own CTE skill set.

• Data‑Driven & Reflective: You analyze evidence, iterate quickly, and share learning with teammates.

• Heartbeat Aligned: You build strong relationships, partner with families, and model the belief that our students will change the world.

Key Roles and Responsibilities

Instruction & Curriculum

• Plan and teach a rigorous, standards‑aligned Geometry curriculum (including Honors and advanced pathways) that meets Florida’s B.E.S.T. Standards and Miami‑Dade advanced program expectations.

• Develop unit plans that integrate mathematical reasoning, geometric proofs, coordinate geometry, trigonometry applications, and transformational geometry.

• Incorporate technology-rich instruction using graphing software, dynamic geometry platforms (e.g., GeoGebra), CAD tools, and design challenges.

• Implement inquiry‑driven pedagogy, project-based learning, and real‑world applications (architecture, robotics, engineering design).

Assessment & Data

• Develop assessments and performance tasks aligned to state benchmarks and advanced programs; use data to provide targeted support and track mastery.

• Prepare students for state exams, college‑readiness benchmarks, and advanced program entry points (AP, AICE, IB, Dual Enrollment).

Advanced Programs & Pathways

• Collaborate with the mathematics department to ensure vertical alignment with Algebra I, Algebra II, and higher-level math courses, including AP, AICE, IB, and Dual Enrollment.

• Provide students with access to advanced mathematical thinking, ensuring equitable pathways to AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AICE, and IB courses.

CTE Integration

• Embed CTE competencies (e.g., CAD software use, construction design principles, engineering applications) in course projects.

• Prepare students for industry-recognized certifications (e.g., OSHA‑10, CAD fundamentals, pre-engineering certifications).

• Complete required CTE coursework and state examinations within the prescribed timeline (see Qualifications) and maintain all related credentials.

Culture & Family Partnership

• Model and uphold KIPP Miami’s Heartbeat Principles in all interactions; create an inclusive, purposeful classroom culture with high expectations and joy.

• Partner with families through transparent progress reporting, student‑led conferences, and proactive communication.

Professionalism

• Collaborate with colleagues in professional learning communities, content teams, and advanced programs alignment.

• Contribute to a school‑wide culture of continuous improvement through coaching cycles, peer feedback, and shared best practices.
