  • Develop, implement, and revise the summer curriculum as needed
  • Conduct regular formal and informal academic teacher observations and feedback on lesson plans
  • Actively supervise and evaluate the academic component of the summer program

  • Effectively plan and lead planning meetings and PD sessions for academic support teachers and enrichment instructors that prioritize high-quality, project-based, instruction through the lens of 21CCLC Exemplary Elements
  • Facilitate program staff in examining academic and non-academic data and monitoring the progress of students enrolled in the program in collaboration with the Manager of Extended Learning and school leaders
