REPORTS TO:

PRINCIPAL

The Claremont Academy Innovation School strives to ensure that all of its Main South students realize the power of their minds and hearts and develop their capabilities as readers, writers, problem-solvers, communicators, creators, collaborators, and civic-minded contributors to their community; to guide and support every student on a pathway to college, career, and civic readiness; to provide the majority of students, in tandem with its college partners, with early college academic experiences such as visiting, auditing, and taking courses;

and to qualify every student for postsecondary education, with at least three-fourths enrolling at a two- or four-year college within a year of the fall following graduation. In addition we are striving toward embracing the Early College Wall to Wall model for the 2025 school year.

We select appropriate staff based on the values and commitments of members of the Claremont staff, based on the following:
Commitment to all of our students:
Every staff member realizes the complex challenges of teaching in our urban setting, and the necessity of time, grit and determination in meeting them and supporting our students. What sets our staff apart is that we do not let students give up. Sometimes that requires unique solutions to unique challenges. Our current staff understands this and we want to ensure that future staff understand and are ready to make the same commitment as well.

Leadership, co-decision-making and co-problem-solving:
Teachers will be certified in specific subject areas and act as decision-makers in the school. Teachers are leaders in that they are involved in the everyday decision-making processes that occur at our school. As our ILT demonstrates, all staff are involved in decisions that impact our community. Confidence in this process within our staff has been a vital component of our Ubuntu philosophy.

Under our Innovation School plan, faculty will be able to collaborate and address challenges, and discover through that process what makes sense for our students.

Co-curricular development, academic support, and professional learning:

• Curriculum Development
• Ensuring quality instruction for all students
• Collaborative learning through activities such as collaborative lesson planning, rounds, and joint assessment and inquiry into looking at student work.
• Summer and in-school PD workshops led by our own teachers
• We commit to mentoring teacher interns from the Clark University Master’s program, a process we value for a number of reasons, not least for its contribution to our own reflective process. Mentoring requires regular advising, feedback and modeling while simultaneously affording time for staff to develop personal plans for their students, individually and with colleagues.

In addition, our school commits and is connected to a number of other programs important for the development of our students and our practice at the school, which all staff directly or indirectly support.
