Marlborough’s Vision Statement: Equity leads Education

Marlborough’s Mission Statement: Where Learning Sparks Purpose

We believe a diverse faculty is essential to the Vision and Mission of the School, for the following reasons:

• We instill confidence and cultivate leadership potential within each student, and serve as role models in inspiring them to pursue their personal best.
• We arm each graduate with the skills and motivation to create meaningful connections with people throughout the nation and across the world.
• We demonstrate the importance of community to our students, with teaching responsibilities that extend beyond the classroom and the curriculum.
• We commit to transforming our community so that equity is at the heart of a Marlborough education.

It is our responsibility to employ a diverse group of educators who exemplify excellence in teaching and leadership, and teach by example as well as by pedagogy.

The Mathematics Department prepares students for college-level mathematics, teaches students to become independent problem solvers, and strives to motivate students to appreciate the elegance and wonder of mathematics. The Department is committed to supporting and guiding young women in math; to that end, our courses can be viewed as an ongoing open dialogue between the teacher and students. The Department emphasizes the integration of technology in its courses. Calculators and computer software help the students apply what they learn to real world applications and also to visualize more challenging mathematical concepts. The Department uses many teaching strategies including lecture, partner work, collaborative groups, and projects in the pursuit of its goal of providing young women with the best possible mathematics education. The Department requires the use of a TI-Nspire CX graphing calculator in all courses beginning with Geometry or Geometry Honors. In order to develop students’ number sense, no calculators are used in Pre-Algebra and Algebra I.

• Collaborate with fellow Mathematics teachers in teaching teams.
• Plan, prepare and deliver engaging math lessons for the appropriate developmental level.
• Communicate regularly with parents, teachers, student services, deans, and other administrators.

• Utilize Marlborough’s learning management system to take attendance, provide curriculum materials and maintain a digital gradebook.
