About Peninsula Bridge

Peninsula Bridge is a non-profit organization that transforms the lives of highly motivated, low-income students by preparing and supporting them for success in college preparatory high school programs and four year colleges through out-of-school social-emotional and academic learning programs.

Job Description

The 6th and 7th Grade Math Instructor will teach a class of 15-25 students using the Peninsula Bridge curriculum. The lessons integrate math, social emotional learning (SEL) and executive functioning skills to promote grade-appropriate academic readiness. This year's curriculum has a financial literacy focus. The after school curriculum is hands-on, globally oriented, and based on Common Core standards. There is no curricula design required and only minimal pre and post-planning! All lesson plans, materials and resources will be prepared and provided by Peninsula Bridge.

Classes meet two times per week throughout the academic year (September-May) during after school hours. Instructors are responsible for being well prepared for all sessions and for reading all communications (lesson plans, email announcements, etc.) In addition to teaching, there are monthly team meetings and 1-2 training sessions outside of the regularly scheduled program time. At the conclusion of the program, instructors will provide narrative comments for students.

The math instructor is part of a site-based team with two other teachers, and a Site Coordinator. Instructors report to the Director of Middle School Programs.
