Memphis, United States Gestalt Community Schools Full time

Gestalt Community Schools is a system of K--12 college--preparatory charter schools in targeted Tennessee communities. GCS schools provide strong academic outcomes for their scholars through initiatives including meaningful community involvement. GCS catalyzes community leadership to help revitalize the neighborhood as it operates its schools in that community. Instead of debating whether education impacts the community or vice versa, GCS believes that the most effective method to support student achievement is an integration of education and community (a true “gestalt”).

The Dean is a school--based administrative position and is a member of the school’s leadership team. Deans work closely with the school’s principal to implement, model, develop, and improve the overall instructional program. Are school-level leaders who serve as site--based technology support for teachers and scholars. School-level leadership responsibilities include all aspects of monitoring, assessing, and guidance of overall academic and enrichment programs offered by the school. Deans support all facets of the cultural and operational expectations as outlined by Gestalt Community Schools.

Deans work closely with teachers to guide the implementation of the school’s instruction model, curriculum and instructional support services. As part of the administrative team, deans have other duties and administrative assignments under the direction of the school principal.

Here are a list of some of the responsibilities:

• Facilitate the implementation of GCS GLOE and Curriculum Frameworks through training and observational feedback;
