RESPONSIBILITIES
Key Responsibilities of the Principal include:
QUALIFICATIONS
To fulfill these responsibilities, the ideal candidate will be:
An outstanding leader with a track record of achieving excellence with equity. The successful candidate has to have an impressive track record of results - ambitious goals set and achieved. You must have shown that you have achieved excellence in curriculum/program development while being attentive to equity issues (ensuring that success is equally shared across different demographic groups). The ideal candidate should be an expert in some areas, demonstrate a baseline competence in the core curriculum and have the ability to learn quickly.
A “warm AND demanding” coach. The Principal will support BA in meeting its goals by effectively managing and coaching a team of instructional coaches. As the leader overseeing BA’s curricula, you must be exceptionally strong at setting clear, ambitious goals and effectively coaching leaders and teams to achieve them. You must also be an effective listener and relationship-builder who creates trust with and amongst senior leaders and who successfully coaches leaders through adaptive challenges that may be holding back leaders or teams from fulfilling their potential.
A big-picture thinker who can inspire a team and achieve system-wide change. As the leader of all our curriculum work, you must guide and inspire the team to achieve our plan. You will need to be vigilant about naming and managing the team to go after areas where we are not delivering and celebrate the areas where we are.
An equity champion and organizational culture leader. Every leader at BA is expected to set the standard for how Butler Academy models our core values and, specifically, what leading for racial equity looks like, especially in the face of the deep levels of inequity and division that still exist in our region and state.
Therefore, you are an empath who works hard to understand the experience of people of all identities at all levels of the organization, you approach issues with an explicit values-based lens, and you are a tested organizational culture leader whose background includes getting to the root of adaptive challenges and tackling equity issues manifested at the systemic level.
