Anticipated OpeningJuly 15, 2022Director of Humanities What are you striving for? Do you value excellence, engagement, integrity, inclusiveness, and self-reflection? Are you looking to be on the ground floor of creating a new learning culture? We are searching for a Director of Humanities that can help our District become as big as our vision. As a result, you will, too! If you are interested, here is what year one is all about. For a Director of Humanities, this is the stuff of dreams – help create and initiate a vision that will allow students and staff to fulfill their potential. Develop a culture where staff and students are apprenticed into expertise through inquiry where developed knowledge is generative and unconstrained.Implement and support an organizational design where students and staff have opportunities to develop knowledge and skill (mastery), see their core selves as vitally connected to what they are learning and doing (identity), and have opportunities to enact their learning by producing something rather than simply receiving knowledge (creativity).Provide information, objective advice and support to the department and fellow administrators on Curriculum Area matters to enable them to meet responsibilities for securing effective learning and teaching, high standards of achievement, efficiency, and “return on learning” and to enable them to utilize coherent and accurate accounts of the school’s performance to a range of audiences including the DOE, NYSED, the BOE, the local community, and others.Support, evaluate, and retain quality instructional and support personnel via observations, walk-throughs, and teacher academies. Realistically, we need someone with the proper certifications. However, we want to collaborate with a leader who can turn a vision into reality. The successful candidate needs to understand what good instruction is and looks like and be able to take educated risks that allow students and staff to fulfill their potential. We want someone who has a vision, is collaborative, and will consider both first- and second-order consequences. While this is all about year one and beyond, day one is good, too. These are things like compensation, the district, the staff, and the location. However, none of this matters unless "Year One and Beyond" makes career sense for you. Desired Skills and ExperienceIf you can accomplish the above, you have what it takes. Realistically, you need the proper certification and hands-on knowledge of state standards, regents exams, AP exams, special education, and English as a new language. If you have it, you know why. If you do not, ask someone who does, and if they think you can do the work or they will help you through it, let's talk.
