Specifically, but not exclusively, our firm is looking for recent law school graduates or candidates who have recently taken and/or passed the California bar exam. Note that we are willing to engage an initial hire as a 6+ month paralegal pending California bar exam results and licensing.

This opportunity for professional growth and development is tailored to place the utmost value on you as a member of our team. Indeed, this Associate Attorney position is expressly designed for a small law firm that is looking for future partial owners of our firm. Think about these questions before applying with us: Who do you want to be? Do you intend for your work to be a part of your vocation? Do you want to work for a cause that has a bigger purpose than making money? What kind of law firm would you want to shape if you had the capacity to shape a law firm where you would be one of the business owners?
The first thing that every job candidate should know is that our law firm offers:
(1) The highest salaries for equivalent positions within the legal community for our area;
(2) Fully paid health insurance for you, your spouse, and your family if you are a full-time employee;

apply our firm’s style of solutions to client problems.
❖ A self-aware problem-solver who understands the importance of the chain-of-command, of authority, of procedure, and of not reinventing the wheel.
❖ Someone who is willing to stay at work late until the job is done, and who can commit to working occasional weekends or nights when needed to meet important deadlines.
❖ Someone who is well-rounded, not a workaholic, and who has a life outside of the law office involving important commitments other than work.
❖ A team member who is driven, who doesn’t need or want micromanaging, who is not afraid of making mistakes, and who won’t simply wait for the next job assignment but
will instead proactively find the most important work to be accomplished.
❖ A team member who does not believe in busywork or overuse of technology and who understands how to use email so as to decrease rather than increase the sheer number of
emails needed in the workplace.
❖ Someone who exudes a positive attitude and is grateful for the opportunity to transform the lives of our clients for the better. Our ideal candidates accept responsibility for their
mistakes, love what they do, and are committed to our law firm’s core values.

Math Instructor Grades 6-12, The Summit Academy (Fredericksburg, VA)
- Posted:
The Summit Academy seeks an additional Math Instructor for the 2024-25 academic school year.
A Classical Education Seeks Understanding and Elevates Culture
As a classical Catholic school, we seek candidates who possess a deep understanding of Mathematics and understand how it belongs within the context of a strong Liberal Arts
education. The ultimate objective of the math courses would be to form students who come to appreciate how Math reveals the beauty and order of creation.
Mathematics is the art of measuring. Science is the study of what can be measured. While math is woven together with the sciences, it reaches across all disciplines. It teaches logic,
which is a basic philosophical principle. It teaches students to attend to reality, (honesty), which is a fundamental moral principle. It teaches balance, which is a basic aesthetic
principle. Our pedagogy involves a strong collaborative and integrated approach that extends across multiple departments. As such, candidates should be able to articulate ways
in which the various aspects of math, (number, symbol and graph), work together but also the manner in which the multiple disciplines of the Liberal Arts integrate and work
together.
As a liberal arts school, our faculty culture is richly interdisciplinary. The ideal candidate will be well suited to teach Math and, if called upon, instruct students in a range of subjects.
Candidates with a background in theology or classical languages are of particular interest and should be sure to note any relevant experience or training. At the core, a school is a community, and leaders are tasked with fostering a healthy learning culture. When we make hiring decisions, we are most interested in bringing in men and women who are interested in becoming members of a community that is warm, prioritizes wisdom, and develops young people to pursue what is true, good, and beautiful.
Curriculum
The goal of the mathematics program at The Summit is to have students arrive at a place of proficiency in both the theoretical understanding and the practical application of
mathematics. Students will be equipped to engage mathematics as a tool for understanding other disciplines that build from a fundamental comprehension of the substance and
structure of arithmetic and quantity. Math at The Summit Academy begins with the Middle School employing the Singapore curriculum to develop problem-solving skills applied in pre-algebra, data analysis, probability, and some algebra and geometry. The High School curriculum utilizes a range of texts ranging from Euclid’s Geometry and some use of Holt’s Algebra II, but relies most heavily on the Harkness Math, which involves students working together to exchange ideas as they are trained in the art of problem-solving to work through procedures, formulas, calculation, logic, and ultimately, arrive at a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.
Skill Set and Pedagogy
The Summit instructor will be responsible for developing in students a strong core algebra with the goal of giving them a foundation from which to build a solid Math proficiency.
Knowledge of mathematics and the ability to communicate and demonstrate concepts correctly and perform procedures accurately in basic and advanced algebra and
trigonometry is essential.
The Summit instructor should be prepared to help students unpack the core concepts of Math and lead them through such questions as:
• What does Math describe?
• What is it that gives math its potency?
• Why do mathematical principles cohere?
• What is it about mathematics that makes it so effective in the natural sciences? For example, why was Newton able to express the law of gravity as a mathematical equation?
Duties and Responsibilities:
• Inspire a love of math in students through teaching four math preps, an elective prep and a student advisory.
• Plan, prepare, and deliver lesson plans and instruction using various teaching methods.
• Work with students to encourage and facilitate each individual’s growth.
• Prepare lesson plans following curriculum guidelines and requirements.
• Teach the assigned curriculum using different instructional methods.
• Establish and communicate clear objectives for all learning activities by integrating competencies and goals into the lesson plans.
• Correct assignments, administer tests, observe and evaluate students’ progress.
• Meet with the parents to discuss student progress and problems.
• Advise a group of students by developing meaningful relationships with them and supporting their academic and personal growth.
• Participate in faculty and professional meetings.
• Perform all other duties as assigned.
Education and Experience
• Minimum Bachelor’s degree
• Master’s degree preferred and reflected in compensation
• Preference will be given to candidates with degree or advanced course work in mathematics (or other closely related field).
• Mastery of subject matters to be taught, as demonstrated by references and education.
• Applicants should be prepared to present a sample lesson as part of the interview process.
• Two years of teaching experience preferred, with exceptions granted for outstanding candidates who demonstrate a record of effective leadership in a relevant field of work.
• Prior experience with Singapore Math, Harkness Math and/or Euclidian Geometry is preferred but not absolutely necessary. However, the successful candidate will need to possess a high level of openness.
• Most essentially, the applicant must also possess a love of teaching and a passion for mentoring and a desire to continue in their own learning
Interested applicants should send a cover letter, resume and CV by June 1 to Julian Malcolm at [email protected] or mail them to:
