Description : The Overlake School seeks an upper school math teacher. The ideal candidate is an outstanding mathematics educator who will work to ensure student success. The teacher should contribute enthusiastically to our school community as well as the Mathematics and Computer Science department. The ideal candidate will be comfortable fostering supportive student-teacher-family relationships, creating engaging lessons and assessments, and collaborating with colleagues.

We seek educators who can center equity and justice in their instruction.
Course assignments will be based on our ideal candidate’s strengths, but we welcome teachers with experience and a willingness to teach IB MYP Math, AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, or Computer Science.
