ABOUT YOU
- You have 4+ years of experience in a rigorous, high-expectations school setting including at least one instructional leadership role (e.g. head of department, Head of grade, teacher coach, etc.)
- You are widely recognized as a highly effective teacher and can model what great, enquiry-based teaching looks like
- You have a track record of improving other people’s performance through coaching and building uncommonly strong relationships
- You have an exceptional ability to think strategically and yet you sweat the small stuff—people see you as unusually detail-oriented and conscientious
- You are driven by data and know how to use data from student assessments to strengthen and differentiate student learning
- You are excited about our organizational culture—and in particular, you are fired up to challenge yourself by embracing mutual vulnerability and a firehose of feedback
