The successful candidate will have an approach to the discipline that encourages a high degree of math fluency and problem-solving.

High school teachers assist in student life programming, and chaperoning school events as needed. Mathematics Department Philosophy: Our math department strives to create a positive and nurturing environment in which SDJA students will develop habits of mathematical thinking that will prepare them for further inquiry in math while gaining comfort with the learning process - where making mistakes, taking risks, communicating ideas and working collaboratively are encouraged. A strong emphasis is placed on the conceptual understanding of mathematics so students can explain why the math makes sense. Meaningful real-world applications are consistently incorporated to develop creative problem-solving skills as well as an appreciation of math and its relationship to other disciplines.
