About Algiers Charter
Since our inception in 2005, Algiers Charter has proudly served as a staple in the educational community.
From our very first day, we operated with the belief that all students can achieve educational success.
We are a two-school organization, whose commitment to excellence and student achievement has never been stronger.
As we forge a strategic path forward, we are seeking dynamic educational leaders with a proven track record of success to help take our organization to the next level.
The educational landscape in New Orleans is one that requires significant and unrelenting performance and accountability.
Our strategic plan for 2023 and beyond has unique operational, staffing and instructional designs so if you are ready to share our vision and commitment to student achievement and pathways, we invite you to submit an application to join our team.
What Success Means In This Position This is an exempt level 10 month position.
Algiers Charter approach to teaching and learning embraces a continuous improvement cycle that focuses on practices through planning, doing, reflecting, and revising.
Our schools are moving to a more complex conceptual framework of analyzing, synthesizing, hypothesizing, understanding and creating connections on a daily basis.
Algiers Charter teachers participate in the Teacher Advancement Program (TAP).
TAP is a bold initiative designed to attract, develop, and retain talented people in the teaching profession.
Continuous learning coupled with strong support that produces the best results for students in a positive working environment is expected.
