Position Description:
The Hockaday School is seeking an experienced and innovative Upper School mathematics teacher beginning in the 2025-2026 school year. The Hockaday School’s mathematics department uses an integrated curriculum which, rather than teaching the usual sequence of algebra/geometry/algebra II over the first three years of high school, combines algebra and geometry with a problem-solving approach to mathematics. The mathematics program at The Hockaday School emphasizes analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. We seek a candidate whose approach to instruction emphasizes conceptual thinking, provides varying techniques to accommodate a variety of learning styles, effectively incorporates technology, and provides a student-centered learning environment that encourages active, participatory learning. The candidate will establish a learning atmosphere where students are encouraged to take risks while building competence in mathematics.
