The Avenues Primary Division provides each child with the social and academic skills needed to interact and explore the world as confident and effective learners. In the Primary Division our teachers implement hands-on, experiential activities to enable students to acquire essential skills, engage in creative thinking, broaden knowledge, and deepen understanding. This Associate Division Head is the leader responsible for helping to realize this vision in the upper primary grades, ensuring that those grades are an extraordinarily engaging place to work, a laboratory of deeper learning for all teachers and a thriving community.

As Associate Division Head, you will:

- Drive deep student learning across two grade levels, by guiding teachers to develop and teach high-quality curriculum, engage all students in challenging, meaningful work, and address individual student needs
- Build a thriving culture of commitment to excellence, collaboration, and constant learning among colleagues, students and families
- Be an inspiring role model to students and faculty, nurturing positive relationships and providing support and care for all students.
- Lead a team of talented faculty to accomplish great things with their students, and coach teachers to continually improve by giving regular, useful feedback
- Be an exemplary lead learner, always reflecting, growing and seeking to improve
- Enthusiastically take on the innumerable responsibilities and challenges that come with leading and innovating in a top-tier school

What you bring:

- Superb ability as a teacher, with a deep understanding of high-quality instruction in grades K-1; expertise in inquiry and project-based learning highly preferred
- Instructional leadership skills to guide teachers - and teacher teams - to grow in teaching practice and create deeper learning for students
- Experience developing curriculum that achieves ambitious learning outcomes
- Management ability, to lead teams in which teachers are engaged in their work, constantly growing and accomplishing great things together
- A missionary zeal for transforming education, and for changing the world through it
- An innovative, problem-solving approach, including in ambiguous situations that require figuring out new solutions rather than following established paths
- Skillful at working across lines of difference on a multi-cultural team
