About TCP

The mission of The Calculus Project (TCP) is to use research-supported strategies to increase the representation and success of Black, Hispanic, and low-income students in advanced mathematics. There are seven distinct components that support students year-round, and one of these is a summer acceleration program to boost learning and combat summer slide. This is achieved by:

• Engaging Curriculum: Relevant, real-world problem-solving, games, and activities.
• Active Learning: Employing project-based learning, hands-on activities, and practical applications.
• Digital Integration: Blending digital tools, such as ALEKS and Edia for adaptive practice, with traditional methods.
• Targeted Support: Offering personalized tutoring and small group learning to build strong foundations for the upcoming school year.

About the Position

We are looking for dedicated, passionate, and collaborative teachers who love working with students and are committed to continuous professional growth through feedback. As a Summer Math Acceleration Teacher, you will be responsible for pre-teaching the math skills and concepts for the first semester of the upcoming fall curriculum to a class of 20-25 middle or high school students. You will be supported by an Associate Teacher and student Peer Teachers. Beyond teaching mathematics, the role includes chaperoning field trips and leading SEL (Social Emotional Learning) activities designed by The Calculus Project (TCP). Teachers have the option to work for one or both of the two summer sessions in Boston sites (UMass Lowell has only one session).
