Job Description:
Impact Academy of Arts and Technology High School seeks a 12th
grade English Teacher to lead students to academic success in a
diverse, compassionate school community at our Hayward campus.WHO
WE ARE
Our mission is to transform the lives of students - especially
those who will be the first in their family to attend college - by
preparing them for success in college, career, and life.At Envision
Education, we believe the current achievement gap reflects a
systemic failure to understand how kids learn, what motivates them
to learn, and what they need in order to learn well. We know that
vibrant learning communities apply compassion and high expectations
to inspire and empower students. With a population that is 75%
first-generation college-bound, our approach is specifically
designed to increase student engagement, deepen integration and
understanding, promote active learning, and ensure college
success.Envision Education is a national model for using Project
Based Learning and Performance Assessment to prepare students for
success in college and in life. Envision Education currently
operates three small high schools and two middle schools. -ABOUT
IMPACT ACADEMY OF ARTS AND TECHNOLOGY in Hayward is one of three
high schools in the network. Envision graduates go on to succeed in
college at significantly higher rates than their peers: 100% of our
graduates are accepted to two- or four-year colleges, with up to
85% accepted to four-year institutions. What's more, our students
persist in college once they enroll. Our college persistence rate
is 87% from first to second year, compared to the national average
of 74%.With a student to staff ratio of 12:1, our schools offer
students a rigorous academic experience and a diverse,
compassionate community in which to grow. Our students are inspired
and empowered to be leaders in their high school education and
their communities.OUR APPROACH
We believe that deeper learning experiences challenge students to
think critically, solve problems resourcefully, and collaborate
productively. Students have an opportunity to use these skills and
show what they know through portfolio defenses. In 8th, 10th and
12th grade, Envision students present a defense of learning,
demonstrating their growth and learning. Similar to a master's
thesis defense, these presentations are required to graduate in
12th grade and are invaluable in preparing for life after high
school. They practice for these defenses through regular
exhibitions and in-class presentations. Our students say portfolio
defense is the hardest thing they have ever done, and nothing has
prepared them more for college.THE POSITIONReporting to the school
Principal, the Teacher will lead students in an academic vision of
success - that focuses on Envision's graduate profile rooted in
ethnic studies, CCSS, and college/career readiness. -
