Math Instructor
About the role
Wolverine Pathways seeks to confront the barriers that limit the college and career aspirations of highly motivated students from under-resourced communities. We believe that every student deserves the opportunity to pursue a wide range of professional and academic pathways. Toward this end, we provide free college preparatory enrichment and guidance for 7th through 12th grade students in Detroit, Southfield, Ypsilanti and 10th through 12th in Grand Rapids. Math Instructors will facilitate programming that provides highly motivated 7th-9th grade scholars with the opportunity to explore what it means to engage in robust mathematical thinking: solving problems creatively, asking why and collaborating with others. All program participants have been application vetted.
