Academic Acceleration and School Improvement Supervisor

Description Gestalt Community Schools is a system of K-12 college-preparatory charter schools in targeted Tennessee communities. GCS schools provide strong academic outcomes for their scholars through initiatives including meaningful community involvement. GCS catalyzes community leadership to help revitalize the neighborhood as it operates its schools in that community. Instead of debating whether education impacts the community or vice versa, GCS believes that the most effective method to support student achievement is an integration of education and community (a true "gestalt").

The Academic Acceleration and School Improvement Supervisor is a school-based leadership position and serves as a strategic partner to the School Leader and a member of the school's leadership team. This role is responsible for supporting the implementation, monitoring, and continuous improvement of instructional systems that accelerate student achievement and support school turnaround efforts. The Supervisor works collaboratively with the School Leader to ensure the successful execution of the School Improvement Plan by providing differentiated coaching, professional learning, and instructional leadership to teachers, Deans of Instruction, and Instructional Coaches across Literacy, Numeracy, and Response to Intervention (RTI) initiatives.

Through strategic planning, data analysis, and continuous progress monitoring, the Supervisor builds the instructional capacity of school leaders and educators to improve outcomes for all scholars. The Academic Acceleration and School Improvement Supervisor leads school-wide academic improvement efforts by aligning instructional practices, intervention systems, assessment cycles, and professional learning to district priorities, turnaround strategies, and Gestalt Community Schools' instructional framework.
