    ABOUT THE ROLE
    We are looking for an exceptional individual to be part of the leadership team launching Nova’s second school, slated to open in January 2017.

    You have 4+ years of experience in a rigorous, high-expectations school setting including at least one instructional leadership role (e.g., department chair, grade level lead, teacher coach, etc.)
    You are widely recognized as a highly effective teacher and can model what great, inquiry-based teaching looks like
    You have a track record of improving other people’s performance through coaching and build uncommonly strong relationships
    You have an exceptional ability to think strategically and yet you sweat the small stuff—people see you as unusually detail-oriented and conscientious
    You are driven by data and know how to use data from student assessments to strengthen and differentiate student learning
    You are excited about our organizational culture—and in particular, you are fired up to challenge yourself by embracing mutual vulnerability and a firehose of feedback
