What

school
with
the knowledge, skills and habits they need to lead a fulfilled life?
This is the question that guides our mission at Summit Public Schools.Summit is a leading network of public schools that prepare a diverse student population for success in a four-year college and to be thoughtful, contributing members of society. We operate 14 schools serving over 4,500 students in the Bay Area and Washington state. 100% of Summit graduates are college ready and Summit graduates complete college at double the national average.We need exceptional, diverse, and mission-aligned teachers to join our team to help prepare our students for a fulfilled life. Join us!The Summit Model
Summit's research-backed model makes teaching and learning at a Summit school unlike any other.At Summit, our teachers
mentor
the same group of students each year in advisory groups, which allows them to build strong relationships based on deep trust over multiple years. Mentors meet 1:1 with each student regularly to
coach students toward their personal goals,
and meet daily as a mentor group.During Project Time, teachers teach
universal skills through real-world projects
- using their subject-area expertise to help students apply their knowledge to the world around them. Through our research-backed curriculum, Summit gives teachers the tools they need so that they can focus on teaching and becoming the best project-based teachers in the world.We are deeply committed to
continuous improvement
at Summit, both as an organization and for our individual faculty. With dedicated days of professional development built into the academic year, regular coaching sessions with a school leader, and a culture of honest, actionable, and timely feedback, we equip our teachers with the tools necessary to improve their practice and tackle challenging issues. We also prioritize
developing leaders from within
and have invested in multiple career pathway programs for our teachers and school leaders.Summit has
intensive collaboration
structures built into our weekly schedules. Teachers collaborate at the grade and subject levels, forming regular communities of practice to support each other in continuously improving as project-based teachers and mentors.By design, our schools are
small communities where every student is known . They are
intentionally heterogeneous
and reflect the diversity of the communities in which we operate. As a teacher, this will require being culturally responsive and creating equitable learning pathways for all students.What you'll do:
See sample teacher schedules here.
A student school day is around 8-8:30am to 3-3:30pm, depending on the specific school. Teachers' days shall begin no earlier than 8:00 a.m. and end no later than 5:00 p.m. on any given workday.Project Time:
Teach 90-minute blocks in high school or four 55-minute blocks in middle school, per day of project time. Most teachers teach one course for the entire grade (e.g. 9th Grade Biology), and see each section twice per week. Teachers work with students on projects that develop cognitive skills and apply their content knowledge to real-world situations. Teachers facilitate discussions in the classroom, coach students in applying their cognitive skills, and give students feedback. Between teaching blocks, teachers analyze student data, build lesson plans, support school culture, and other personal development activities. Summit teachers build lesson plans through a deep understanding of student progress data, which determines the group and individual supports needed for their students to succeed.Mentor Time:
Build deep relationships and sense of community when teachers meet with their small group of mentees daily for their entire time at Summit. Daily, teachers meet with their mentor groups, work on habits of success as a group, and check in one-on-one with their mentees. Mentors coach and advocate for their mentees both inside and outside of the classroom, and strive to support them as they develop their sense of purpose as they become self-directed learners.Self-Directed Learning Time and Interventions:
Facilitate Self Directed Learning time and daily literacy or math interventions, which don't involve lesson planning. During this time, teachers provide student support, monitor progress, and check in with individuals or groups of students.Collaboration & Professional Development:
Twice a week, teachers participate in all-faculty after-school meetings where community decisions are made, professional development takes place, and faculty collaborates as a grade-level team or subject-level team.What You Need
