Position Overview

About Freire Schools

Founded in 1999, Freire Schools is a collective of four charter institutions located in Philadelphia and Delaware, dedicated to equipping students from historically marginalized communities for success in higher education and beyond. Our distinguishing features include a profound belief in the potential of every student, a robust code of conduct, and a commitment to fostering a peaceful and secure environment. Our community is characterized by a familial atmosphere and vibrant classrooms focused on academic excellence. Notably, in 2023, Stanford's Center for Research on Education Outcomes recognized Freire Schools among the top 15 charter networks nationwide for academic progress.

About the Team

This role of Director of Curriculum and Instruction is situated within our high school, Freire Charter School Wilmington, which serves grades 8 through 12. At Freire, we emphasize the dual goal of graduation—both from high school and college. We inspire our students to reach unprecedented heights and provide the necessary support, including personalized college counseling. The Class of 2023 achieved acceptances to 81 distinct colleges and universities, garnering over $10 million in scholarship offers. This achievement is a testament to the Freire Wilmington community, where students and educators collaborate to shape the futures that each student aspires to.

  • Leading mentoring initiatives, instructional coaching, and the evaluation of teaching personnel alongside the Head of School.
  • Establishing the school-wide instructional focus and professional development strategy for the academic year.

  • Directing the implementation of standards-based assessment methodologies to foster a data-informed culture.
  • Setting performance objectives with instructional staff and ensuring achievement through ongoing coaching.
  • Collaborating closely with the Network Performance Management Team to develop and implement a framework for strategic data utilization; assisting the team in leveraging student and staff performance data to enhance teaching and learning.
  • Conducting classroom observations, providing instructional coaching, and managing teacher performance evaluations in partnership with the Head of School.
  • Facilitating the coordination of internal and state assessments.
Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate embodies an unwavering belief in the capabilities of our students and actively promotes our values of equity, compassion, critical thinking, and diversity. We seek individuals who meet the essential qualifications for this role:

  • Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution; a Master's degree is preferred.
  • Possession of a current, valid teaching certification.
  • Experience in analyzing student performance data and utilizing it to inform instructional practices.
  • A minimum of three years of successful teaching experience in high-need educational settings, with additional leadership experience preferred.
  • A strong passion for and commitment to the mission and vision of the Freire Network.
  • A flexible, highly motivated individual who values diversity and strives for excellence in themselves and their students.
