Changing the world is in our DNA. Our organization was founded to do just that—a group of educators and likeminded individuals had caught a glimpse of what could be possible in education, and wanted to bring it to the world. Education today is filled with false alternatives. We disrupt them all. Our vision is a classroom where students plumb the depths of human knowledge and aspire to the height of intellectualism—and do it all at their own self-direction. Do you believe that there is critical, life-shaping knowledge that children desperately need—but also believe that they need to be in the driver’s seat when they pursue it? Then the Academy of Thought and Industry is the place for you.
ATI is a network of Montessori-inspired middle and high schools, including both brick and mortar campuses and a fully virtual program. Our Montessori approach means we believe in promoting each student’s individual agency. This includes open-ended, free work periods, where students choose what to work on and work at their own pace. We bring structure to that through a coaching-based approach that helps students plan their own goals for the day and week, using adults as guides and accountability partners.
This approach takes work to learn, so you’ll need to come in with that attitude. It also takes flexibility and a willingness to experiment. You will be joining a team of ambitious, creative, and inspiring educators and a fast-paced organization with opportunities for growth and development.
Your role:
Work with ATI program experts to apply and individualize the ATI STEM curriculum for your classroom Facilitate student progression through the math and science coursework through regular feedback and assessment and opportunities to apply these topics in interdisciplinary projects and real-world problems 1:1 coaching to a cohort of students where you are fully invested in all aspects of their personal, academic, and social development Establishing and modeling a strong, supportive community that upholds ATI’s core values at all times Working closely with your colleagues on campus and throughout the ATI network to continually improve the program and support our students Partner with parents to ensure students are fully supported at home and at schoolFor new ATI guides who are not certified in Montessori adolescent education, you will participate in a school-sponsored 20-month adolescent guide preparation course through the leading to a widely-accepted MACTE Montessori Credential. This professional development requirement offers guides the comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge and skills, as well as mentorship, to become successful practitioners of the Montessori Method with students ages 12-18.
