  • Empower students to take charge of their learning by providing all necessary scaffolding, modeling, materials, and resources, and consistently maintaining a high level of expectation for student success.  Collaborate with other academic staff and psychosocial staff members to plan, integrate, and facilitate cross-curricular, inquiry-based projects.  Communicate with parents and guardians to provide feedback on students’ academic and social-emotional progress through parent-teacher conferences, written reports, phone calls, and emails.
  • Follow the professional code and policies of the school and conduct oneself in a way that promotes the mission of the school.  Utilize Google Suite, in particular Google Drive, Docs, and Sheets.  Attend all faculty and staff meetings and required special events ( e.g. , open houses, Curriculum Night, Carnivale).  Perform other duties as assigned.   Competencies :
