Teacher Leadership
What are Grade Level Leaders and Department Chairs?
Grade Level Leaders
Grade Level Leaders serve as a liaison between their grade level team and the building principal. They meet with the administration, facilitate grade level meetings and professional learning, and coordinate grade level events and trips. They also help support the implementation of our social-emotional learning curriculum at their grade level.
Department Chairs
Department Chairs work with their building Principals and the Curriculum & Instruction Office to support the implementation, evaluation, and improvement of curriculum. Other responsibilities include coordinating department supply budgets, assisting in the the hiring process for their departments, and facilitating department meetings and professional learning.
