Description

SY22-23 Chestnut TAG Middle School Family Liaison

Grade Level: 6-8
Start Date: Immediate Opening

Are you looking to be part of a school where teachers and administrators are energized by their work?
Are you looking for a Principal who is hugely invested in the development, diversification and fulfillment of his teachers and staff?
Do you want to be part of a joyful school with a growth mindset about all students’ unlimited potential?
Do you want to join a team where 80% or more of the staff reflect the identities of the students?
Do you want to be in a school that teaches students the full truth about our American history, that explicitly teaches about systemic injustices in ways that empower students and staff to take action and make change?

At our school, we explicitly address and counteract systemic racism through our hiring practices, our culturally responsive teaching, and our professional development focused on championing students who have historically been underserved and under-resourced. We believe that equity lives in teaching rigorous grade-level content and holding students to high expectations. In our school, equity is not a slogan or a buzz word. It is an ongoing commitment to examining how we can best serve all our students (and our staff). As educators we believe that relationships with our students are the foundation on which all social and academic success is built. And, we strengthen our practice through five hours of professional learning per week, built within our 7:20-3:30 school day. Collaboration and peer to-peer learning are central to our growth as educators.

Make no mistake, this work is challenging. But done right, it is incredibly rewarding. If you are up for the challenge, join our team!
