CRLS CASA Project Teacher

Description of Service Opportunity:

Cambridge Rindge and Latin (CRLS) consists of four learning communities that support the vision of the Cambridge Public Schools (CPS) to provide all students with rigorous joyful and culturally responsive learning as well as the social emotional and academic supports each student needs to achieve their goals and post secondary success as engaged community members.

With this in mind CRLS in partnership with The Algebra Project will provide the Cambridge Advanced Study Academy (CASA) for rising 10th grade CPS students who have chosen to take an Honors Geometry next school year and have also been identified as part of a population that has historically experienced racial and/or economic marginalization.

The CASA program at CRLS focuses on ensuring that students are provided a comprehensive experience that includes:

-Social emotional and academic support

-Equitable access to curriculum and opportunities

-A joyful and challenging learning experience

The primary objectives of the CASA experience are to:

1. forge and cultivate strong relationships with peers and teachers.

2. build academic confidence in the specific subject area with a hope of enhancing engagement and the joy

experienced in class during the school year.

3. demonstrate and encourage a growth mindset as well as embrace risk taking and innovation

The program will run for 4 hours for 4 weeks and students will focus on reviewing and reinforcing prerequisite skills as well as previewing the essential content specific skills that will promote a successful start to the school year. Incorporated throughout the course will be College Math Literacy Workers who will support students throughout the course. Teachers in this program are expected to employ differentiated instructional strategies for a vast array of academically linguistically and culturally diverse learners.

This work will take place during the summer of 2026.
