Position(s): Teacher of Students with Disabilities, grades 6-8
The Math and Science Exploratory School (MS 447) is a high-performing and
intentionally diverse middle school in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, serving students from
across District 15. We are an inclusive and progressive learning community, with strong
ICT programs on each grade. We are also a Nest school, serving students with Autism
Spectrum Disorder in an inclusive environment. Our staff, students, and families are
reflective and supportive, nurturing our students in their academic and emotional lives
through strong teaching teams, hands-on, inquiry learning, small-group advisory, peer
mediation, restorative practices, and more.
We seek collegial, passionate teachers to learn, grow, collaborate, contribute, and create
within our community. Candidates must:
Demonstrate a commitment to educational and problem-solving approaches that
holistically and empathetically center early adolescents and their needs and
behaviors.
Be willing to engage in ongoing anti-bias and anti-racist training, and work
towards the incorporation of that learning into instructional and curricular choices.
Set and maintain high academic expectations for all students, and work
systematically and collaboratively to ensure that all students are successful in
meeting them.
