*job description*:
a teacher leads the learning of 18-22 students per class.
the primary responsibility of the teacher is to teach the asfm guaranteed and viable curriculum in a coherent manner while honoring and responding to the personal needs of students.
teachers are responsible for implementing asfm's standards-based philosophy for assessment by regularly collecting and responding to the evidence of learning for each learning outcome, and by regularly reporting progress to parents.
asfm is a plc at work school, thus teachers share collective responsibility for learning at their grade level and discipline and are expected to closely collaborate with their teaching partners and team members, engage in regular, collaborative data/evidence meetings, and support all students in meeting expectations by sharing intervention responsibilities.
teachers serve as role models and mentors for students through the school advisory program and support students in determining and attaining personalized goals.
teachers are responsible for the holistic well-being of their students and provide a learning environment that aligns with the asfm culture of care.
