GT and MLE Director ; Northeast Campus

Gifted and Talented and Multilingual Education Coordinator

Reporting directly to Highline’s campus principal, coordinators are the heart of our organization. We expect coordinators to be caring about the whole child, great lesson planners, strong and nurturing at classroom management, and excellent collaborators with teammates and families. We look for people with good communication skills, dedication to do everything it takes to make a difference for each child, and a growth mindset.

Coordinators are paid year round on a salary and work a 200 day work year. They are expected to be on campus ready for students by 7:30 am and to stay until 4:00 each day school is in session, including Friday when we have early release days for students followed by teacher P.D. or planning meetings until 4:30.
