WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT AS A TEAM MEMBER?
Excellent Compensation: Our teachers enjoy RI retirement system benefits (one of the best nationally) plus coverage of 95% of health care insurance; approximately an $11,000 value annually.
Warm and Professional Work Environment: We have an extremely upbeat, proactive and supportive atmosphere. Everyone is excited to be here each day. Open communication systems ensure every person has a chance to voice their thoughts, concerns and ideas about all aspects of the school. We are known for implementing immediate improvements both for students and colleagues. We have the best family engagement in the state, and strong support from our community. The best way to find out more is to visit and talk directly with team members.
Unique Opportunities for Career Growth: We are growing into a lab school where teachers who are interested in opening their classrooms to visiting learners or providing professional development services can do so for additional earned income. This is an optional, unique aspect of our school for those who wish to participate, and means our school community is always open and always growing.
Shared Commitment to Educational Equity: Through their commitment to our families and our school's mission, every one of our team members creates and supports an environment for exploration, leadership and learning for both students and themselves. We are serious about proving that poverty is not a barrier to student success. We know that every student has an important story to tell.
Support Services: We have an extensive support system for the social, emotional and behavioral needs of students. We follow through on the promise that we make to both parents and teachers that no single student will keep others from learning.
A Strong, Diverse Team: We are proud that there is high demand for positions at our school -- about 400 resumes for every new position. Teachers feel respected and supported here, and as a result our attrition rate is very low. Nearly 40% of our team is people of color. Over 40% speak Spanish. All of our teachers are certified and 70% have graduate degrees.
Extensive Professional Development: Teachers receive ongoing, embedded professional development and a variety of innovative options for growth, learning and sharing what they know.
