[Time2000_t20 0279] FW: Summer Positions for Teachers
by Naomi Weinman 23 Mar '21

23 Mar '21

Dear Math Teachers, If you are looking for a summer job, consider applying for the ones below. TIME 2000 alumni who have worked at BEAM as undergrads loved the work and the students. Apply as soon as possible for full consideration. Good luck if you apply! Naomi Naomi Weinman TIME2000/SEYS Queens College, CUNY | 65-30 Kissena Blvd | Queens, NY |11367 (w) 718-997-5377 | (f) 718-997-5173 TIME2000.qc.cuny.edu Donate to TIME 2000<http://bit.ly/time2000> Open Summer Positions at Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM)<https://www.beammath.org/summer-positions> · Faculty positions (for teachers, professors, and professionals able to work during the summer) · Junior Faculty positions (for graduate students and early career teachers) Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics: Summer Faculty and Junior Faculty Positions This summer, change the lives of underserved students with exceptional potential in math: teach them what mathematics really is. Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM), a project of the Art of Problem Solving Initiative, Inc., is seeking instructors for a program that gives everyone a chance to excel in mathematics. Faculty design and teach their own courses to bright middle school students from low-income and historically marginalized communities. Ideal faculty candidates include college or university professors with strong teaching backgrounds, and middle or high school teachers with strong mathematics backgrounds. Junior faculty positions are also available for graduate students and early career teachers, and we encourage applications from other professionals with an interest in math education. During summer 2021, we will run two programs: BEAM Summer Away and BEAM Discovery. Due to COVID-19, we will be running our programs for the Summer of 2021 virtually. We can lend staff any necessary technology they need to work for us. BEAM Summer Away: Compensation: $5,000 (or $3,300 for junior faculty such as graduate students or early-career teachers) for five weeks (four of teaching and program contribution, plus pre-camp training and post-camp wrap-up discussions. If there is technology you need to participate, we will lend you some. Program dates: The CA dates (for students from LA) will be June 16 to July 20th, 2021. The NY dates (for students from NYC) will be June 30th August 3rd, 2021. Courses at BEAM Summer Away can be: · Pure math such as number theory, combinatorics, graph theory, or logic; · Applied math such as circuit design, programming, astrophysics, or genetics; or · Problem solving, either Strategies for Mathematical Thinking or Solving Big Problems. BEAM Discovery: Compensation: $2,200-$5,600 for six weeks depending on course load (part-time positions available). If you have technology you need to participate, we will lend you some. Programs Dates: LA Dates: June 16 (14th for Junior Faculty) to July 27, 2021 NYC Dates: June 30 (28th for Junior Faculty) to August 9, 2021 BEAM Discovery teachers receive guidance to plan courses or use prepackaged courses in one or two of the following: · Logical Reasoning introduces logical reasoning including deductive logic, case analysis, working methodically, and proof by contradiction. · Math Fundamentals leads students to understand mathematics from school without relying on memorized procedures. · Creative Problem Solving exposes students to problems that require creativity, primarily through math contest problems. · Applied Math introduces students to different areas of work related to mathematics. Examples include programming, astronomy, mathematical biology (such as predator and prey models, or genetics), or estimation and Fermi problems. For both: We've found that the community of teachers that we create, bringing together instructors from across many different academic areas, is one of the program's strengths and provides a great experience for all participants. Good candidates will work well on a close-knit team and will be able to bring unique curriculum perspectives to the program. Experience with other extracurricular outreach programs (such as math summer programs or math circles, MATHCOUNTS, programming workshops, or similar) are also a plus. We will provide mentorship, textbooks, and other resources as needed. This is a unique opportunity to influence the lives of young students. Our students have tremendous potential and a strong ability for abstract reasoning, but because of their schools and backgrounds they often have not had the same training as more affluent peers. They are devoted, doing many hours of math each day (and loving it). We hope that you will join us (and them)! For more information and the application, contact us at summer-jobs(a)beammath.org<mailto:summer-jobs@beammath.org> or visit our website at www.beammath.org/jobs<http://www.beammath.org/jobs>. -- BEAM is hiring<https://axistalentpartners.applytojob.com/apply/62Ofk11RcM/Executive-Direct…> a new Executive Director of National Programs.
