    Uncommon Schools is a nonprofit network of high-performing, public charter schools providing an outstanding K-12 education in historically under-resourced communities. We have proudly built schools that reflect our student population, with more than 60% of our teachers and staff across our network identifying as a person of color. Uncommon currently manages 53 schools serving 19,000 students in five cities: Boston, Camden, New York City, Newark, and Rochester. We are proud that Uncommon graduates persist in and graduate from college at five times the rate of their peers nationally.

    • You'll collaborate with teachers, students, and families to create and implement individual behavior plans.
    • You'll manage systems that support school initiatives that lead to academic success for our students (e.g., attendance systems, homework systems).
    • You'll be highly present and visible during school hours, constantly ensuring the school has an inclusive and joyful school culture.
    • You'll model the school's values and the standard for academic and personal excellence.

    • Unwavering belief in high academic and behavioral expectations for all students.
    • Exceptional time and task management skills;

    • Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, and strong interpersonal skills with students, parents, colleagues, and community members;
    • Ability and desire to implement feedback from school leaders and colleagues.
    • Requirements:
      • 3+ years of experience working with youth or teaching in an urban district or charter school setting, with an explicit focus on building rapport and trust;
      • Proven track record of holding high standards and offering emotional and academic support to students;
