Description:
Position Overview
High School for Recording Arts (HSRA) is seeking an equity-driven, creative, and culturally responsive Math Teacher Advisor to join our innovative team. At HSRA, advisors are more than classroom instructors-they are mentors, advocates, and co-designers of student-centered learning journeys grounded in real-world relevance, artistic expression, and social justice.
HSRA is a public charter high school where students design personalized learning plans and engage in interdisciplinary, project-based learning that reflects their interests, experiences, and aspirations. Rooted in hip hop pedagogy, youth voice, and trauma-informed practice, HSRA creates a culturally affirming space where all students-especially those historically underserved-can thrive.
Core Responsibilities
Math Project-Based Learning Facilitation
- Design and facilitate interdisciplinary, standards-aligned math learning experiences rooted in students' lived experiences, passions, and cultural identities.
- Emphasize collaboration, inquiry, and creativity through authentic, real-world math projects that make math meaningful and relevant-such as projects related to music production, graphic design, budgeting, entrepreneurship, and technology.
Advisory and Mentorship
- Serve as a primary mentor and advocate for a cohort of students, with a focus on supporting their growth in mathematical thinking, problem-solving, and confidence.
- Build strong, trust-based relationships and guide students in navigating academic, personal, and postsecondary pathways, including pathways involving math, STEM, and related fields.
Arts and Culture Integration
- Infuse math learning with music, media, and cultural storytelling using approaches like hip hop pedagogy, data analysis in music, or math applications in visual arts.
- Empower students to see themselves as mathematically capable creators and problem-solvers, challenging traditional notions of who is "good at math."
Restorative and Trauma-Informed Practice
- Create a supportive, inclusive classroom culture using trauma-informed strategies, restorative circles, and social-emotional learning tools.
- Foster a safe and healing environment where students can take risks in their learning, especially in math where past negative experiences may have created barriers.
Commitment to Equity and Justice
- Challenge systemic inequities in math education through culturally relevant pedagogy and an unwavering belief in the potential of all learners.
- Center the voices, identities, and experiences of youth in math teaching, learning, and decision-making.
Collaborative Leadership
- Contribute to a schoolwide culture of shared leadership and innovation.
- Collaborate with fellow advisors and school leadership on math curriculum, equity-focused strategies, and program development.
