Deerfield Academy seeks a Teacher of Mathematics to start on August 17, 2022. We are looking for a teacher who exhibits excellence in the classroom, encourages student inquiry and discussion, encourages students’ development as informed and ethical citizens of the world, and enjoys working collaboratively with colleagues. Deerfield actively seeks to increase the diversity of its faculty and develop an inclusive community. Candidates should be enthusiastic about living in close proximity to teenagers and working with students both in and outside of the classroom.
ABOUT DEERFIELD: Deerfield offers an unmatched environment for teaching. Near the Five Colleges (Amherst, Smith, Mount Holyoke, Hampshire, and UMass Amherst), Deerfield’s 300-acre campus hosts exceptional facilities that enable powerful teaching both in and out of the classroom. Our students are engaging and excited to learn—and they are willing to work hard at their studies. Our teachers enjoy an outstanding work environment and excellent benefits. Our teachers are committed to ongoing renewal. We seek candidates who are committed to their own professional growth, who are eager to work with colleagues in a productive manner towards departmental goals, and who can foster critical thinking, empathy, and determination in our students. As a boarding school, our faculty teach, mentor, and model—in the classroom, in the dorm, at the dining hall, and on the playing field. Diversity is essential to Deerfield’s success. Diverse perspectives within our school population fuel creative and innovative thinking, build empathy and consideration, and provide varied skills and experiences from which the entire community can benefit. Deerfield actively seeks candidates who are members of or support traditionally underrepresented groups—especially in terms of race, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic background.
