Description:

Gestalt Community Schools is a system of K-­-12 college-­-preparatory charter schools in targeted Tennessee communities. GCS schools provide strong academic outcomes for their scholars through initiatives including meaningful community involvement. GCS catalyzes community leadership to help revitalize the neighborhood as it operates its schools in that community. Instead of debating whether education impacts the community or vice versa, GCS believes that the most effective method to support student achievement is an integration of education and community (a true "gestalt").

Gestalt Community School teachers design weekly lesson plans, develop standards-based assessments, analyze assessment data, and create intervention plans to meet our scholars' needs. In addition, GCS teachers integrate technology effectively in the classrooms and implement project-based learning. Responsibilities include:

1. Creating lesson plans

8. Work planning with school and network teams

9. Attending weekly required professional development training

• Holds a current TN teaching license in Elementary Education with appropriate endorsement code ( Required)

• Have a bachelor’s degree or higher
