Head of School

Company: Albany Charter School Network
Location: Santa Fe
Posted on: May 13, 2022

Job Description:

We are looking for a collaborative leader to be part of a team that attracts and retains strong staff, builds and maintains community relationships, and crafts an educational experience that builds high school students' social and emotional intelligence to increase global citizenship and to ensure all students - across race, gender, ethnicity, language, disability, sexual orientation, family background, and/or family income - can excel in school. The Head of School serves as the leader and chief administrator of The MASTERS Program Early College Charter High School. As the Head of School you would be responsible for implementing and managing local and state regulations and procedures to ensure that students are provided a safe and enriching learning environment that aligns to academic standards of the Board of Education and managing day-to-day operations of a charter high school located on a college campus.

The MASTERS Program, located on the campus of Santa Fe Community College, provides an early college experience for high school students of all academic levels, and facilitates a seamless transition to college after high school. The TMP academic staff work in one large main office that is the physical heart and home of the School - a place of humor and kindness, answers to questions, and a source of much-needed snacks. The staff of TMP functions and makes decisions as a team, meeting weekly to discuss how things are going and what might need changing or adjusting. Our goal is to create a school community that supports teenagers emotionally and academically, giving them skills for living a rewarding life.

The mission of The MASTERS Program emphasizes the value of a conscious community as well as academic excellence. Creating and maintaining a diverse school community that is compassionate and based on kindness and respect for each individual is essential for the success of The MASTERS Program. Our Friday all-school morning gatherings or meetings with smaller groupings are one of the foundational ways we consciously maintain our community - a venue for discussing our values or responding to a TED talk or dealing with issues we face. Emphasizing appreciation for others in these meetings is also an effort to counteract the negative focus that we see in our culture today.

Education/Training/Experience: Minimum:

* Must hold an Administrative License in the state of New Mexico. Specific requirements are referenced on Public Education Department website: www.ped.state.nm.us.
* Master's degree
* Administrative experience for a minimum of one year.
* Classroom teaching or student services experience of five years.
* Proven collaborative experiences with teaching staff and administrative personnel.
* Experience in curriculum development.
* Working knowledge of school budget procedures and fiscal operations.
* Working knowledge of the use of data to inform instruction.
* Experience with Common Core Standards and Next Generation Science Standards.
* Excellent written communication and public speaking skills.
* Successful performance in the position held at the time of application.
