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.
