In Ferguson-Florissant, we believe that preparing students for the future requires breaking down the walls between traditional subjects. We are seeking an innovative, high-energy High School Math & PLTW Teacher to join our New Chapter. In this dual-impact role, you will teach foundational math courses while also inspiring the next generation of engineers, computer scientists, and innovators through the specialized PLTW curriculum.

You aren't just teaching students how to solve for x; you are showing them how x applies to robotics, structural engineering, and digital circuitry. If you are ready to turn your classroom into a lab of mathematical discovery and design, your next chapter starts here.

The High School Math & PLTW Teacher is responsible for delivering high-quality, standards-aligned mathematics instruction alongside specialized Project Lead The Way courses (such as Introduction to Engineering Design, Principles of Engineering, or Computer Science). Reporting to the Building Principal, you will facilitate a student-centered, project-based classroom environment that emphasizes collaboration, critical thinking, and the engineering design process.
