Collaborative Interdisciplinary Curriculum
No one found greatness without a coach. You will receive 1-on-1 weekly support from a dedicated coach with a background in math and special education. No matter your experience, we will support your growth edge.
Be prepared to grow, with us.
Be ready (and love) to collaborate
All of our classes are ICT (Integrated Co-Teaching), which means there’s no lonely “sage on a stage.” We provide many meeting times throughout the week to innovate with your co-teacher, your grade level, your department and more. If the idea of working closely with others doesn’t fill you with excitement, we might not be the best fit for your talents (seriously).
Think you’ll be a good fit? Check out our open positions here.
Be prepared to demo your skills with current BUGS students and provide a number of documents supporting your practice.

You bring joy and wonder, we’ll bring the problem set. We don’t script lessons for you, but we do expect you to sweat the details. We expect teachers to bring joy and wonder in their classroom through integrated tech, project-based learning, and your personality. We base much of what we do on Math In Focus, but are also currently building our own curriculum. Great BUGS teachers are ready to add to our knowledge and continue to iterate on what we have.
