Canada/USA Mathcamp (www.mathcamp.org) is a
summer program for talented high school students from all over the United
States, Canada, and the rest of the world. At Mathcamp, students interact with
world-class mathematicians, explore advanced topics in mathematics, and find a
true intellectual peer group.
The mentor job is a hybrid between
a teaching position and a camp counselor role. Your primary responsibility is
to teach great classes, and you’ll be doing this in the context of a
residential summer program: you live, eat, and play with the campers. It’s a
lot of work and a lot of fun.
As a mentor at Mathcamp, you get
an amazing teaching experience: there is no set curriculum, so you create your
own classes and teach the math you’re interested in. From group theory to
projective geometry, from complex analysis to cryptography, from fractals to
voting theory – there is an abundance of mathematics that can be taught (with a
little imagination) at camp level. You’ll have support (in both curriculum
design and pedagogy) from master teachers, and you’ll work with students who
are exceptionally smart and engaged.
Mentors are also the camp’s
primary leaders and organizers, and cultivate the rich life of the camp by
planning activities, setting camp policy, and serving as residential
counselors—essentially, running the camp, and bringing it to life with creative
ideas, inside and outside the classroom. Initiative, flexibility, and tolerance
for a certain degree of chaos are a must—that is part of what makes Mathcamp an
exciting place to work!
Since women and minority students
often face a shortage of role models in mathematics, we are especially eager to
recruit mentors from these groups.
We’re excited to announce that the application for the inaugural Urban Teaching Cohort of the UB Teacher Residency program has opened! Below are a few of the program features, with more information available at our website (http://ed.buffalo.edu/residency.html). The program will launch in Summer 2019, with residents earning initial certification in Summer 2020. The priority deadline is November 1st, and the application requires two short essays, transcripts, and two references. (Applications received after November 1st will be reviewed on a rolling basis, contingent upon district needs and funding.)
UB Teacher Residency Program Features:
Earn initial teacher certification in an adolescence education (grades 7–12) content area (biology, chemistry, earth science, physics, mathematics, social studies, English, French, or Spanish) in one year.
Receive a tuition scholarship (approximately 2/3 of program cost) and an $18,000 stipend for living expenses in exchange for a 3 year commitment to Buffalo Public Schools.
Co-teach alongside a mentor teacher in the Buffalo Public Schools for one school year.
Engage in rigorous and relevant coursework that is integrated with classroom practice.
Collaborate and build a community with a small cohort of residents, mentor teachers and university faculty who are committed to improving educational experiences in historically underserved communities.
Who Should Apply?
Individuals seeking to become transformational grade 7–12 teachers in the city of Buffalo
College seniors and recent graduates with a background in the content area they intend to teach
Professionals interested in making a career change to classroom teaching
*Previous education coursework is not required. To be eligible, you will need an undergraduate background in your intended content area.
Buffalo Career Conversations is a great way to make professional friends with experienced UB alumni. This event is a career networking night that is designed to link you with experienced UB alumni to help launch your career in a fun casual way. You’ll get real-world advice from someone who understands what you’re going through and is ready to help you. This could lead you to opportunities that you never knew were out there.
