We are in an exciting phase in the Lower Division of strategically integrating Harvard’s Project Zero’s research on Teaching for Understanding into our curriculum and pedagogy. We have had one cohort of ten Lower Division faculty attend Project Zero’s Summer Institute. We anticipate the rest of our Lower Division faculty participating in Project Zero’s Institute over the next couple summers. Completing Project Zero’s summer program will be an expectation of any new hire.   

In addition, we are finalizing our Strategic Academic Plan. This has been a three year process  (2019-2021) that involved consulting with Independent School Management, the independent school leader in schedule design, which delivered a set of priorities and learning outcomes that strategically aligned with a new daily schedule and our new Portrait of a Graduate. This strategic work comes on the heels of our Upper and Middle Division which recently have gone through a similar three year process (2017-2019). Candidates are encouraged to gain a deeper understanding of our strategic work via our Associate Head of Academics’s recent article in the Casady Magazine entitled “Strategic Academic Plan” (p. 8-18): https://bbk12e1-cdn.myschoolcdn.com/ftpimages/779/misc/misc_181487.pdf 

Contact: All qualified and interested candidates should email a cover letter, resume, and teaching philosophy statement to Montie Sill, Lower Division Director, at sillm@casady.org.
