Qualifications

• Visible passion — scholars and families can tell in five minutes whether an adult wants to be there.
• Mississippi teaching certification — held, in progress, or an alternate route you're ready to start. Preferred, not required.
• Bachelor's degree in education, a STEM discipline, English or literacy — or demonstrated expertise with elementary-age children.
• Strength in literacy or STEM, and willingness to grow in the other.
• A startup, entrepreneurial mindset — we're a school in year four, and some of what you need doesn't exist yet.

• Teach to SR1 standards — above the state floor, college preparatory and STEM-themed by design.
• Innovate, don't recycle the school day — if the standard approach isn't moving a scholar, invent one that does.
• Look at the data to see what's working, and change what isn't Close the loop with day teachers so the after-school hour and the school-day hour say the same thing.
