We are excited that graded learning will resume soon!

​Below are folders that house links to the learning in each student’s Google Classroom. These plans have been emailed to every student, and they already have access to all of their learning through their Google Classrooms.

The weekly plans are designed to help individuals and families organize and track learning easily throughout the week. There is learning planned everyday in every class. Students should be turning in a task or multiple tasks each week.

Click on the tab that corresponds with your student’s grade level. Each document in the shared folder overviews the schedule and learning for that week!
​
If you have any questions reach out to your student’s advisor.

Every Sunday night you will be emailed your plan for the week. Your plan lists all of your classes and the learning you should be engaged in throughout the week.

At right, in the picture, you can see the example of the 10th grade plan for next week. You can see each class, and links to the specific tasks every student should complete from Google Classroom each day.

All of this information is in student email as well. Below you will see all of our staff and when their office hours are, and the best way to schedule time with them!

These are difficult times for many people in our country. We wish for our whole community to be informed about resources available for anyone at this time.

8th graders of Philadelphia!

Dear Awesome Educator!

We are growing, and we need the help of awesome people that want to both continue co-designing our school, and work with an unscreened student population.  We seek people that believe in education driven by common values: EMPATHY, AGENCY, CREATIVITY, COLLABORATION, PERSISTENCE and REFLECTION.  Together we will LOVE. DREAM. DO. with our learning community.

Founded in 2014 through a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York to re-imagine schools to prepare youth for college and career, The U School is a competency-based model that requires young people to demonstrate their learning through tangible performance tasks. In the process, we empower young people through challenging and scaffolded learning experiences. We leverage strong relationships with our students to grant students the agency and support needed to successfully make the college and career leap.

For the upcoming school year we seek the educators with the following certifications:

• Mathematics
• Biology
• Physics
• Spanish
• Special Education

Qualifications/Applicants must:                   

• Posses a PA State Certification or be eligible for PA Certification
• Care deeply about educating young black and brown people
• Be willing to engage in meaningful discourse about personal and systemic bias impacting pedagogy
• Be willing to work collaboratively with a team
• Be willing to utilize Common core aligned competencies to design and facilitate student learning
• Comfort utilizing technology and leveraging tools to allow for student learning everywhere
• Desire to connect classroom learning with partners across the city
• Be willing to engage in extra curricular activities with students

Please submit through the EDUCATE HERE! page.

Sincerely,

The U School Team
