What Does It Mean to Be a Teacher at Compass?

Compass is looking for a teacher who is ready to collaborate across disciplines and show students that quantitative reasoning is both fun and applicable to all areas of life and learning.

Someone who is not afraid to ask students to grapple with the complexity of our world through applied mathematics will fit right into our team of design thinkers and creatives. Mathematical concepts, application, and operational fluency are all important parts of our mathematics lessons, while social-emotional intelligence is modeled and taught in every class.

You will teach two or three 70-minute mathematics classes, with different course preps. These courses are designed to support student curiosity, critical thinking, skill development, and a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.

We use outstanding math curricula, including Desmos for Pre-Algebra 6–8 and Algebra 1 and Open Up Resources for Geometry and Algebra 2.

Learning at Compass

Teachers at Compass support student growth across many skill areas. You will be a role model for emotional intelligence, intellectual curiosity, and professional collaboration.

You will thrive as a learning experience designer who embeds skills such as design thinking, literacy, and numeracy into mathematics studios and Venture Projects. Compass teachers are co-learners who model curiosity, passion, and the skills needed for lifelong learning.
