Job Title: Facilitator of Learning, Mathematics / Quantitative Reasoning

Reports To: Chief Academic Officer / Head of School

Job Classification: Full-Time, Exempt

Youth Build Preparatory Academy is seeking a Mathematics Facilitator of Learning who can help students see math as a tool for problem-solving, decision-making, and real-world change.

At YBPA, we are not looking for an educator who only teaches formulas, isolated procedures, or test prep. We need a math educator who can help students make sense of numbers, patterns, data, money, measurement, space, systems, and the world around them. Math instruction at YBPA must be rigorous, practical, accessible, and connected to students’ lives.

The Mathematics Facilitator of Learning serves as a teacher, advisor, project coach, assessor of mastery, and member of an interdisciplinary academic team. This role is grounded in YBPA’s commitment to competency-based learning, project-based learning, culturally responsive instruction, and liberatory education.

The ideal candidate understands that many students have been taught to fear math or believe they are not “math people.” This role requires an educator who can interrupt that narrative and help students build confidence, skill, persistence, and mathematical agency.

Youth Build Preparatory Academy is a competency-based, project-based, interdisciplinary learning community rooted in liberatory education. We serve students who deserve more than a traditional school model built around compliance and memorization.

Our work is grounded in four core commitments:
Growth, Relationships, Agency, and Belonging. We believe students learn best when they are known well, challenged with purpose, and given meaningful opportunities to demonstrate mastery.

• Design and facilitate competency-based mathematics learning experiences aligned to YBPA’s curriculum, competencies, graduation expectations, and applicable Rhode Island academic standards.
• Teach mathematical reasoning, problem-solving, number sense, algebraic thinking, geometry, measurement, statistics, probability, functions, modeling, and quantitative literacy.
• Develop project-based learning experiences that connect math to real-world issues such as financial literacy, data analysis, construction, entrepreneurship, community development, and everyday decision-making.
• Assess student learning through demonstrations of mastery, including performance tasks, projects, written explanations, presentations, portfolios, exhibitions, and student reflection.
• Provide clear feedback, coaching, and revision opportunities so students understand what they have mastered and what they need to strengthen.
• Use student work, data, and observation to adjust instruction and provide targeted academic support.
• Create a classroom culture rooted in respect, belonging, productive struggle, mathematical confidence, and high expectations.
• Support students with varied academic needs, including students with IEPs, ILPs, multilingual learners, and students needing additional intervention.
• Collaborate with colleagues to design interdisciplinary projects and support exhibitions of learning, portfolios, and other public demonstrations of mastery.
• Communicate regularly with students, families, colleagues, and school leadership regarding student progress, strengths, concerns, and next steps.

• Bachelor’s degree required.
• Current and active Rhode Island educator certification in Mathematics required, or eligibility to pursue certification through an approved pathway where permitted by Rhode Island requirements and school needs.
• Current B.C.I. required.
• Experience working with high school students or young adults required.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to design and facilitate student-centered, project-based, interdisciplinary, and competency-based learning experiences.
• Ability to build…
