SY 26-27: Grades 9/10 Math Teacher at: Trinity Academy for the Performing Arts

TAPA: Trinity Academy for the Performing Arts, an academically rigorous public charter school for the arts, seeks a Grades 9–10 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.

TAPA’s creative community is enriched by the cultural, religious, racial, ethnic, and linguistic diversity of our neurodiverse families, students, and employees. Demographically, nearly all members of the TAPA student body are people of color, predominantly Latinx, with many students speaking both English and Spanish in their homes. A significant portion of TAPA’s student body identifies as members of the LGBTQ community. We aim to hire staff members who reflect the diversity of our students and demonstrate an understanding of the strengths and experiences they bring.

The Grades 9–10 Math Teacher teaches four classes, each with approximately 20 students, and supports the broader school community through one additional duty. This position is an incredible opportunity to join TAPA’s tight-knit teaching corps and work with students during the foundational first two years of their high school experience.

At TAPA, Math is taught through a combination of blended learning utilizing Imagine Learning Classroom, arts integration, and the green-standard Illustrative Math curriculum. TAPA prepares students to successfully meet or exceed Rhode Island’s graduation requirements and perform at or above grade level on all state and local assessments. TAPA meets each student’s individual academic needs using assessment data and continuous feedback while providing clear academic, social, and artistic expectations.

At its core, TAPA is a student-centered, caring community that fosters leadership, intellect, self-confidence, and responsibility. Respect for diverse experiences and inclusive approaches to teaching and learning are foundational to our school culture. Candidates with backgrounds or experiences that contribute to this work are encouraged to apply.
