    Default job background
    Description


    About BEAMThe mission of BEAM is to create pathways for students from low-income and historically marginalized communities to become scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and computer scientists.

    Led by staff with these same technical backgrounds, BEAM believes that pathways to STEM careers are created through community, individual support, and access to advanced work that typically lies outside most school curricula.

    We work to directly support students and to transition them to other supportive enrichment programs that enable their future success.

    BEAM's model provides continuous support from middle school through college graduation, including intense academic summer programs for middle school students (after 6th and 7th grade), weekend classes and mentoring, and STEM-focused support through college.

    Our program includes not just access to learning advanced math but also support finding and applying to other opportunities, including support with college admissions and financial aid.

    In addition to our academic content, bringing students into community is a key part of our mission and all of our work is designed to support that goal.

    BEAM has grown from a small summer program serving 17 students in the summer of 2011 to a year-round, national program, serving 420+ students at six summer program sites and 600+ students in year-round programming in New York City and Los Angeles this school year.

    In addition, our BEAM National pilot program now reaches over 500 elementary-aged students in seven different states, working to create a new nationwide pathway modeled on our local work.

    With our recent strategic plan, our team has committed to transforming the organization from a successful startup to a more mature and scalable organization that can drive change across the country.

    About the roleBridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM), a project of the Art of Problem Solving Initiative, Inc., is seeking Guidance Counselors to work at our New York and Los Angeles campuses.

    The role of Guidance Counselor is a position that supports BEAM's operations by allowing our students to attend BEAM Discovery and ensure their emotional needs are attended to in this new environment.

    Accompany students on field trips. Support Individual Student Needs and Community NeedsAssess student needs and recommend next steps. When necessary, run mediation (student/student or student/staff). When called for, implement restorative justice processes. Occasionally, implement behavior contracts.

    Provide guidance to other staff (both residential counselors and also faculty) as they work to address and support mental health and other student needs.

    Finally, while your role is not mathematical in nature, in order to cultivate a positive learning environment we expect all staff to foster a supportive attitude towards students learning mathematics, which you could do by visiting students in classes, inquiring about their learning or growth, or simply displaying curiosity about the math at the program.
