YOUR MISSION
Redefine what’s possible in public education.
It is your primary responsibility to ensure that students have the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed and reach their full potential.
You prepare all students with the academic and social skills necessary to persist and engage productively in their communities.
To this end, you teach two things: A set of college-bound academic skills that will prepare students to be successful in college and the competitive world beyond.
As part of this effort, we also teach students a specific set of high-tech skills that help them engage in the 21st-century marketplace.
A set of social skills related to how we treat one another, work as a team, and coach ourselves to persevere through the challenges we face; these will prepare our students to be engaged citizens and world leaders.
You will use the following curriculum: Achievement First Our locations: Bastrop and Manor, Texas YOUR APPROACH Mission-Focused.
At a minimum, you fanatically support students to achieve academic success and personal growth.
You are resolute that every child will encounter success in every grade and subject.
Lessons are crafted with careful consideration of each individual student all the knowledge and skills they must have to persist to and through college and to improve their community and change the world.
Equity and Opportunity Driven.
Achieving true equity requires you to look at all aspects, from both a larger systems perspective and an individual student perspective.
You put systems in place to ensure that every child has an equal chance for success.
This requires you to understand the unique challenges and barriers faced by individual students or populations of students and you provide the support to help them overcome those barriers.
You do this by establishing and maintaining cooperative working relationships with students and families based on trust, understanding, and respect for the communities in which they identify.
Objective and Data Focused.
You know exactly what you want students to know and be able to do by the end of each lesson.
You invest the necessary amount of time to define their objectives for a yearlong scope and sequence, unit plans, and daily lessons.
You are accountable for producing high-quality, objective-driven materials and for meeting all associated deadlines.
You implement formal and informal assessments to track each individual student’s progress and learning needs.
You track and use data intentionally.
Scaffolded.
You break complex thinking skills into discrete steps.
Scaffolding is the support we provide to help students recall, practice, and internalize those steps.
You provide scaffolding for all students when introducing a new skill to a class.
You also provide additional scaffolding on an individual basis, to support our students’ learning differences.
Joyful.
You design lessons to set students up to experience “edge-of-your-seat learning” and demonstrate the passion for the core intellectual work of each subject area.
Joy, therefore, looks like a student so lost in an assignment that they lose track of time and are excited to teach others what they learned from you.
Rigorous.
There are two dimensions of rigor: the degree of scaffolding and the complexity of the task.
At peak levels of academic rigor, students are answering questions meaningful to the discipline with little scaffolding.
They respond with complex sentences and properly support their ideas with evidence.
Ultimately, we measure our ability to teach with rigor not by our intention or by “what was covered,” but by what our students learned, demonstrated through outputs of writing and speaking.
Restorative.
You set clear expectations for all students so they know the path to be successful inside and outside of the classroom.
You believe and engage in restorative practices so that ownership can be taken, relationships can be strengthened and repaired and commitments can be affirmed.
You help students make the right decisions.
