Our organizational structure reflects our values
Our organizational structure reflects our values of making educator learning and development at the forefront of what we do. We have two distinct positions, Director of Learning & Teaching and a Director of Student Experience. Jonah Hassenfeld, our Director of Learning & Teaching, focuses on the development of our teachers, and the quality of our instruction, period.
Team Leads
Even with a dedicated Director of Learning & Teaching, it isn’t possible for one person to provide all of our educators with the breadth and depth of feedback and support they need. We have a structure of team leads, who provide a small group of educators with the professional support they need. With this configuration, educators get feedback and support in real time, by someone who is more plugged into their day to day work. It also creates smaller, intentional opportunities for peer-to-peer learning.
