Math Learning Specialist (Part-Time, school-based) The Lang School (thelangschool.org) is a progressive independent school located in lower Manhattan serving grades K-12. Our high potential and gifted learners also have learning challenges, such as ADHD, anxiety, EF difficulties, dyslexia, or high functioning autism. These twice-exceptional (“2e”) learners have a unique set of social-emotional and intellectual needs. We meet students where they are and empower them to achieve their next levels of excellence with research-based supports & a robust Talent Development Program.
Our MISSION is to create a safe and engaging learning environment for students with an emphasis on creative thinking and assets-based approaches. Our students are both unique and diverse, and we seek out and celebrate diversity in our community — in our identities (race, ethnicity, gender expression, socioeconomic status), as well as our backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
We have an opening for a part-time Math Learning Specialist to support students 1:1 and in small groups (on a pull-out and push-in basis) in grades K-8 (two days weekly, hours flexible between 9 am until 3 pm), especially those who struggle with foundational mathematics (e.g., fluency and cardinality), recalling learned procedures, or math anxiety. These students may have a formal diagnosis of dyscalculia, and they tend simultaneously to be sophisticated conceptual math thinkers. The Math Learning Specialist must have targeted training and experience in remediating math challenges. At Lang, we want our students to see themselves as “math people,” as well as to see math as the stand-alone discipline and language it is.
