Why this position is unique
This is not a traditional classroom. You will have the autonomy to design programming that is truly student-driven, with the flexibility to use flexible pacing, project-based learning, credit recovery, and real-world experiential opportunities. You will work with a small number of students and have the chance to make a life-changing impact, reminding yourself why you got into education in the first place.
