Campbell Hall Faculty Description

Campbell Hall seeks faculty who are dedicated to the developmentally appropriate education of the whole child; who are interested in learning as well as teaching; who connect their responsibilities with the philosophy and purpose of the school; who teach to empower as well as to inform; who are comfortable with questions as well as answers; who can work with direction, focus, humor, and dignity within the complexities of a diverse school environment; and who will be dedicated to promoting and maintaining an inclusive school community.

In addition to academic responsibilities, Campbell Hall faculty are involved in many aspects of school life.  Coaching interscholastic athletics, chaperoning experiential education trips, participating in community service activities, helping students to produce school publications, overseeing student council, and leading a special interest club are just a few ways faculty are more deeply involved in the Campbell Hall community.  

Campbell Hall faculty embrace the school’s mission and are dedicated to their implementation of a rigorous college preparatory program. They are equally devoted to the emotional and spiritual development of each student and they strive to relate to students, parents, and colleagues in ways that promote open and supportive communication. The result is a community where students and adults are confident to learn and grow.

Job Description

Responsibilities include the following:

• Five classes 

  • Algebra IIA (2 sections)

  • Precalculus/Trigonometry Honors (2 sections)

  • Math Center ( 1 section)

  • Each class meets for 75 minutes every other day

• Supervision duty (once per quarter/semester during lunch)

• Monthly meetings include but are not exclusive to:

  • DAT (Deans, Advisors and Teachers)

  • Math department

  • High school division

• All-school faculty staff meetings three times per year

Algebra IIA: This course expands upon topics introduced in Algebra I. Students will review topics including the real number line, algebraic properties, order of operations, relations and functions, and extend their skills in solving quadratic equations involving rational and irrational roots. Students learn additional methods of factoring and explore the basic concepts of exponents and logarithms. Algebra IIA will also include an introduction to conic sections, probability and statistics. This course allows students to use real-world applications to master topics. In addition, students will continue to review topics from previous math courses within the scope of the curriculum of Algebra IIA. Use of graphing calculators, special projects, and group presentations may be part of the instructional methods used to master the curriculum.

Precalculus with Trigonometry Honors: The fourth in a five-course series designed for students seeking a more rigorous approach to mathematics, this course integrates the subject matter of trigonometry and third-year algebra and covers the major topics of advanced algebra including higher order polynomials, advanced graphing techniques, inequalities, matrix algebra, exponential and logarithmic functions, and complex number systems including DeMoivre’s Theorem, polar equations with multiple solution techniques, vectors, series, and sequences. Trigonometry topics include functions and their inverses using the unit-circle approach, graphs of these functions, trigonometric identities and equations and applications of trigonometry. This course is suitable for students specifically requiring strong preparation in math leading to further upper division math and science courses. Topics are presented in more depth and assessments require students to think critically, apply concepts to real-world applications, and synthesize information.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher 

• At least 5 years of teaching experience
