Overview
Spanish Teacher, SY25-26
at Summit Public Schools Who We Are What if all students graduated high school with the knowledge, skills and habits they need to lead a fulfilled life? This is the question that guides our mission at Summit Public Schools. Summit is a leading network of public schools that prepare a diverse student population for success in a four-year college and to be thoughtful, contributing members of society. We operate 12 schools serving over 4,000 students in the Bay Area and Washington state. 100% of Summit graduates are college ready and Summit graduates complete college at double the national average. We need exceptional, diverse, and mission-aligned teachers to join our team to help prepare our students for a fulfilled life. Join us! The Summit Model: Summit’s research-backed model makes teaching and learning at a Summit school unlike any other. At Summit, our teachers mentor the same group of students each year in advisory groups, coach students toward their personal goals, and meet daily as a mentor group. During Project Time, teachers teach universal skills through real-world projects using their subject-area expertise to help students apply their knowledge to the world around them. Summit provides a research-backed curriculum and professional development, with regular coaching and feedback to improve practice. Summit values developing leaders from within and has career pathways for teachers and school leaders. Our schools are small, intentionally heterogeneous communities where every student is known and supported to achieve a fulfilled life. Cultural responsiveness and equitable learning pathways are essential. What You’ll Do A student school day is around 8-8:30am to 3-3:30pm; teachers day starts no earlier than 8:00 a.m. and ends no later than 5:00 p.m. on any given workday. Project Time: Teach 90-minute blocks in high school or four 55-minute blocks in middle school, per day of project time. Most teachers teach one course for the entire grade and see each section twice per week. Teachers work with students on projects that develop cognitive skills and apply knowledge to real-world situations. Teachers facilitate discussions, coach students, and give feedback. Between teaching blocks, teachers analyze student data, build lesson plans, support school culture, and engage in professional development. Mentor Time: Build deep relationships with a small group of mentees daily, coach and advocate for their development, and support them as they become self-directed learners. Self-Directed Learning Time and Interventions: Facilitate Self-Directed Learning time and daily literacy or math interventions, including monitoring progress and supporting individuals or groups. Collaboration & Professional Development: Twice a week, participate in all-faculty after-school meetings for decision-making and professional development, and collaborate as a grade-level or subject-level team.

You’re eager to engage in professional development and be developed as a practitioner in a network committed to continuous improvement. You have a growth mindset and view feedback positively.
