Seeking Graduate Student Researcher

Posted on by

We are recruiting at least one graduate student at the master’s or PhD levels to work with us in the development of a mathematical mindsets and identities tool that will be used in a larger project that will explore students’ different pathways through middle and high school algebra (see text below). We have funding for up to 20 hours per week for Fall of 2022. The position begins September 1st. All work could be done remotely. If you are interested, please send a brief email and your CV to Susanne.Strachota@tufts.edu.

Developing and piloting a measure for mathematical mindsets and identities

The proposed work aims to develop and pilot a measure for identifying students’ mathematical mindsets and identities in 8th and 9th grade. Building on prior work on mathematical mindsets and identities we will develop, pilot, and refine a tool with the intention of using this tool in a larger, scaled-up version of our study in which we will examine how the compacted pathway (taking Algebra 1 in middle school) versus the regular pathway (taking Algebra 1 in high school) impact students on three dimensions: mindsets and identities, ability to generalize mathematical relationships, and performance in mathematics. The proposed study is one small slice of the larger, scaled-up study, for which we will apply for extramural funding, and which will result in direct recommendations to support school districts as they design algebra pathways for their students.

Each data collection cycle has two parts. First, we will administer the questionnaire as a written assessment with 2-3 classes of 8th and 9th grade students. Second, we will interview a representative subset of students from each class using the cognitive interview method to evaluate if the results of the written assessment align with what we learn about students’ mathematical mindsets and identities. Based on the outcome of the interviews, we will modify the assessment as needed.

We might conduct additional cycles of written assessments with all students and cognitive interviews with representative subsets of the students that took the written assessment. All data collection will be conducted remotely.

YEA Camps Hiring (multiple positions available)

Posted on by

WHo We Are:

Not your typical summer camp counselors.

Every summer since YEA Camp began in 2009, we’ve brought together the most amazing group of changemakers we can find to help train our campers to make a bigger difference on social justice issues from climate change to racism, gay rights to animal rights.

Seeing the impact our camp was making for a decade’s worth of teens, and recognizing that adults need this type of training too, we launched our first camp for adults in 2018.

We have a ton of experience working on a variety of causes and want to support you in making a bigger difference on the issues most important to you.

Our youth and adult campers go on to do such inspiring things — from raising thousands of dollars for the causes of their choice, launching voter registration drives, changing school and corporate policies, organizing rallies, and so much more. And many of the nearly 1,000 campers who have gone through our programs commonly describe YEA Camp as critically important in helping them to get more active on a cause they care about — or even as one of the greatest experiences of their life.

We’re here to help you make a bigger difference in a way that inspires you — because we could all use a little help changing the world.

We Are Hiring!

We are currently hiring:

  • Counselors
  • Assistant chefs
  • Assistant camp director
  • Health care supervisor
  • Operations manager
  • Social media manager
  • Photographer/videographer

Please make sure you have read the Requirements and Expectations.

Volunteer Opportunity

Posted on by

It is that time of year again! As the students, faculty, and staff of City on a Hill Charter Public Schools prepare to complete the 2021-2022 academic year, we ask that you hold us accountable by serving as a community juror for our students’ final exams.

If you have not served as a Juror before, at the end of each academic year City on a Hill students present to a jury composed of a community member, a teacher, and a student in an effort to demonstrate proficiency in a given subject and advance to the next level of study.  While juries, as they are referred to, provide our students with authentic ways to show what they know and what they can do, they also create an opportunity for you, as Massachusetts’ taxpayers, to comment on our accomplishments and our challenges as public charter schools.  In other words, juries stress academic achievement while simultaneously inviting public accountability, two key pillars of the City on a Hill mission.  

This year, juries will take place from Thursday, June 16th through Wednesday, June 22nd. The time commitment for a community juror is flexible.  A juror may serve for a morning, an afternoon, a full day, or even multiple days.  Each block is approximately two and a half hours long, consisting of a short orientation followed by anywhere from four to ten student presentations, depending on the subject. In each session, a student presents, and then the jurors confer and offer feedback to the student. 

If interested, please complete the attached survey to indicate the time(s), date(s), and subject(s) in which you would like to serve as a juror. Thank you for your commitment to accountability in public education. We hope to see you in June!

Please contact Laura Edouard, Principal for additional information.
