Manager of Staffing and Recruitment

Our Commitment to Equity & Inclusion

Achieving true equity requires you to look at all aspects, from both a larger systems perspective and an individual student perspective. You put differentiated and culturally relevant systems in place to ensure that every child has an equal chance for success. This requires you to understand the unique challenges and barriers faced by individual students or populations of students and you provide the support to help them overcome those barriers. You do this by establishing and maintaining cooperative working relationships with students and team members based on trust, understanding, and respect for the communities in which they identify.

You Live by our RIGHT Values

• Respect: We value each others’ diverse perspectives and experiences, communicate clearly and consistently, hold high expectations with empathy, and take time to really get to know others.
• Ingenuity: We challenge ourselves to find new solutions to the most difficult problems. We always welcome the opportunity to think creatively.
• Growth: We will undoubtedly face adversity. We commit to give and receive feedback and to be relentlessly reflective even in the most challenging problems.
• Honesty: We assume the best of others, provide authentic feedback & praise, reflect on our own strengths and areas for development, and act with courage to always do what is right over what is easy..
• Teamwork: You genuinely believe that ALL students can achieve excellence and that requires that you see the best in every person you interact with (students and team members alike) every day. We know that we are strongest and most successful when we work together.
