At Steppingstone, our mission is to prepare students from under-resourced communities to access, navigate and graduate from college.

• In Boston, we provide academic, social-emotional, and college readiness programming from as early as fifth grade and continuing through college graduation through the Steppingstone Scholars Program (SSP).
• Nationally, we connect the people, practices, and innovations essential for eliminating barriers to college and career success, through the National Partnership for Educational Access (NPEA).

Steppingstone is hiring ELA teachers in both 5th and 6th grades for our rigorous out-of-school-time academic program. Math teachers will strengthen student knowledge of key math skills and introduce new visual and conceptual strategies to strengthen their understanding of math content.

• Fifth grade topics covered include operations with fractions, operations with decimals, place value, coordinate planes.
• Sixth grade topics include unit rates and percentages, expressions and equations.
• ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam) preparation course:
  • Math teachers will strengthen student knowledge of key math skills and application of test taking strategies for the ISEE.
  • Fifth grade topics covered include operations with fractions, operations with decimals, place value and interpreting/solving multi-step equations.
  • Sixth grade topics include arithmetic, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis.
  • ISEE classes will use the Test Innovators website as the basis for the content of the course. Teachers will receive training for the program upon hire.

During the academic year, we will have one day of remote classes (Wednesdays) and one day of in-person classes (Saturdays) each week. Candidates must be able to commit to both Wednesdays and Saturdays to be considered.
