Voz Collegiate Preparatory Charter School
Founding Middle School Teacher
Our Belief:
We believe wholeheartedly that all students deserve access to high quality education in an environment where every adult in our building loves and honors their identities, ambitions, and heritage. Voz Collegiate, a new public charter middle school in its first year of operations serving students in grades 6-8.
The Experience:
Our middle school model is unique. Teachers in middle school will teach and loop with their cohort of students throughout the duration of their time at Voz Collegiate. This aligns with our belief that relationships matter, especially in middle school. Being a part of a Founding Team does not come without its challenges. As a founding teacher, or member of our staff, you get to be an integral part in creating and laying the foundation of who we are as a school. We are looking for culturally conscious, high-capacity individuals to join our Founding Team.
The Opportunity:
We understand we are not for everybody. We are looking for folks who are hungry to do things differently -to build a world where our students get a fair shot at living the American Dream. We are searching for folks who want to get in on the ground floor of what we believe is the future of education in the name of equity, justice, and access for all children! If that is you, we hope you join us!
Our Mission in Action:
Computer Science Promotes Digital Literacy in a 21st Century World. Scholars living in a digital world must be digitally literate. Every scholar takes Computer Science as a core subject, every year. Computer Science skills help enhance the cognitive skills necessary to successfully navigate our math, literacy, social studies, and science courses.
Social Emotional Learning Bolsters Academic Success. We utilize weekly Compass Circles, a structured methodology where students and teachers build trust with face-to-face dialogue, to create an optimal environment for learning. We believe that our humanity is found through our relationships with others.
Oral Literacy Focus. Scholars will take Speech and Debate and New Mexico Influenced Music and Art courses weekly. Possessing a solid foundation in oral literacy will help our scholars become successful readers and strong communicators as well as build their confidence and overall sense of well-being. When our scholars harness the power of voice, they awaken their power of identity.
Professional Habits. Our scholars will be warmly greeted each morning with a firm handshake. Scholars will be expected to exhibit our Core Values: Self-determination, Professionalism, Accountability, Resilience, and Kindness. Professional habits are critical to a student’s overall social and academic success. We give scholars tools they need to be resourceful in a socially perceptive way, to innovate not just alone but with a group of peers, and to adapt when new situations arise.
College Preparatory. For our scholars, college begins in 6th grade. Scholars will develop personal portfolios in both digital and hardcopy form curating social and academic work completed. This will assist in developing skills crucial to the research-based environment of higher learning.
Demographics do not determine our scholars’ destiny.
