In your role as Lead Teacher, you work to create conditions for a holistic approach to the student's entire school day at both an organizational and practical level. You handle the after-school center's complementary tasks to the school and are responsible for the systematic quality work in the after-school center based on the school's prioritized areas. The Lead Teacher appointment covers one year with the possibility of extension.
