Job description


Position: Math Teacher: 7th/8th Grade Adventure in the City (AIC)
Liberty LEADS is a NYC-based college access program that has served over 200 underrepresented children between 5th and 12th grade each year since 1989. Liberty LEADS was founded to empower youth by helping them attain higher education, embrace leadership engagement, and create a positive future for themselves and others. Liberty LEADS provides an alternative learning environment in which young people can experience success as learners and increase their ability and motivation to graduate from high school and seek entry into postsecondary education and/or meaningful employment. The program is guided by the principle that all children have gifts, talents, and great potential and can contribute to one another's social and academic growth.
We are looking for energetic and creative educators who enjoy working with youth during the summer and are available for in person programming.
Adventure in the City (AIC) is a summer program for rising 7th and 8th grade students that uses New York City as a classroom to help students build confidence navigating their city while strengthening the academic skills they will need in the upcoming school year. Through hands-on learning in math and humanities, students explore neighborhoods, landmarks, and community spaces while practicing critical thinking, problem solving, reading, and writing. In addition to reinforcing academic skills, AIC supports students as they prepare for the transition to high school by helping them develop independence, curiosity, and a stronger sense of connection to their city and community
The Math Instructor for Adventure in the City will lead engaging, hands-on lessons for rising 7th and 8th grade students that strengthen key middle school math skills while using New York City as a dynamic learning environment. The instructor will design and facilitate lessons that reinforce concepts students will need in the upcoming academic year-including ratios, proportions, measurement, problem solving, data analysis, and financial literacy. Using the city as a classroom, the Math Instructor will guide students in applying mathematical thinking to real-world situations such as navigating public transportation routes, analyzing distances using maps, examining patterns in architecture, and collecting and interpreting data from neighborhood observations. Lessons should emphasize practical problem solving, collaboration, and critical thinking while helping students build confidence in their math abilities.
Selected applicants will be responsible for developing and implementing a 16-day, project-based curriculum. For the interview, we ask that applicants present ideas for the purpose and theme of their ideal summer experience. Programming begins June 29th 2026 and meets Mondays through Thursday for four weeks culminating with a final presentation on July 23rd. All applicants must be available for all 16 days of programming from 9 am to 330 pm. Lunch is provided and spent with the students.
Responsibilities
  • Co-create differentiated project-based math/humanities for 7/8th grade that can be implemented in person or virtually.
  • Co-teach Math curriculum for 7/8th graders.
  • Include outdoor programming in curriculum planning.
  • Manage classroom using positive behavior management strategies
  • Meet regularly with the Liberty LEADS Middle School Advisor/Program Coordinator for supervision and debriefing

  • Experience teaching middle or high school youth using project-based learning
  • Co-teaching experience
  • Knowledge and understanding of the NYCDOE academic standards (Common Core/New Generation Standards)
  • Experience teaching classes using Zoom platform preferred

Requirements

  • Reliable WIFI and computer access

Physical Requirements
  • Walking up and down stairs up to and including the nine flights to the gym
