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:
Sincerely,
The U School Team
