Talented and Gifted Teacher
Science faculty will develop and execute instructional plans that facilitate scholar mastery of science standards. The Genesis E5 model supports greater possibilities. Faculty should challenge scholars to investigate the use of science to Engineer solutions to complex, real-world problems (especially in the areas of human and environmental health). This should result in scholars who understand science as a tool that is personally and practically relevant on a continuing basis.
GIRLS’ ACADEMY teachers should be creative self-starters who are committed to creating an environment in which our girls can become empowered, accomplished young women they were meant to be.
BOYS’ ACADEMY teachers should be creative self-starters who embrace and appreciate the energy of middle school boys, and who are committed to helping develop strong, scholarly young men of character and discipline.
