Use assessment data on an ongoing basis to improve student performance on school and State assessments.
Embody and cultivate the school's core values - innovation, collaboration, respect, activism, integrity, empathy - in your professional practice and encourage students to do the same in their academic work and personal conduct.
Provide out-of-class student support through office hours, after-school programming, and extracurricular activities, as needed.
Take on additional duties as assigned by the Principal or designee.
