Lead Teachers work closely with each other, alongside their Assistant Teacher, subject area specialists, the Director of Teaching and Learning, and the Head of School. The Lead Teacher creates a class culture with routines and expectations defined by CCS's mission and values. They observe and honor each student as an individual within the community, supporting perseverance, independent growth, and equity.
