TAPA, an academically rigorous public charter school for the arts, seeks a Middle School Math Teacher. The ideal candidate recognizes and celebrates the connections between math and the arts and brings a thoughtful, student‑centered approach to teaching and learning.

We celebrate diversity in culture, religion, race, ethnicity, language, and identity. Our student body is predominantly Latinx; many students speak both English and Spanish at home, and many identify as LGBTQ+. We aim to hire staff who reflect our students’ diversity and demonstrate an understanding of the strengths and experiences they bring.

The Middle School Math Teacher will teach four classes, each with approximately 20 students, and will lead an Advisory for a smaller group of middle‑school students. The Advisory provides a platform for social‑emotional learning and support, and encourages a lasting advisor‑advisee relationship throughout the middle‑school years.

Math instruction is delivered through a blended learning model that integrates Imagine Learning Classroom, arts‑integration, and the green‑standard Illustrative Math curriculum. The goal is to meet or exceed Rhode Island’s graduation requirements and to support each student’s individual academic needs using assessment data and continuous feedback.
