The Math Teacher will be committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive classroom environment where students are encouraged to explore and excel in math. This role includes contributing to GGA’s curriculum development, and supporting the school’s mission of academic excellence and female empowerment.
GGA instructors submit lesson plans weekly. Lesson plans are reviewed by the Academic Program Coordinator and feedback is provided.
Advisory classes are an important part of school culture at GGA. Students work on college and career readiness, social and emotional learning and academics in these daily classes. The advisor is an important part of a student's support network at GGA, and most instructors are assigned an advisory class. Advisory lessons are provided and the instructor facilitates sessions, grades assignments, and maintains a strong relationship and line of communication with advisees' caregivers.
Culture support in the hallways and at lunch is expected. Instructors are assigned an arrival and dismissal duty, and are added to a master schedule to support hallways for one period everyday.
At GGA we believe that we are partners in education with our student's caregivers. Together we support students and ensure they achieve their fullest potential. To do this, GGA gives dedicated work time on a Wednesday to reach out to caregivers. It is expected that instructors maintain continued lines of communication with caregivers through grading, calling and emailing home and facilitating twice annual Student Led Conferences.
