Algebra 1 & Physics Teacher - Students Learning Differences

Education Specialist or Single Subject teacher.

Do you have a passion for creating highly engaging lessons that make content accessible to many types of learners? Do you enjoy creating those "aha" moments in your students?

Bayhill is a small school in Berkeley, CA, for students who have struggled to learn in large traditional schools. Our bright, motivated students have learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, anxiety, and executive functioning challenges. They thrive in small, supportive environments where teachers create innovative and engaging lessons that capitalize on students’ natural curiosity and desire to learn. Many of our students graduate to attend 4-year universities, art and design schools, trade programs, and more.

We are looking for a teacher to teach Algebra 1, Geometry, and Physics to classes of 8-10 students. You will teach the standard curriculum that fulfills the California graduation requirements and the UC system requirements for entrance into a 4-year university, yet adapt the curriculum to meet the needs of your students.
