Great place to make a difference for lower-income high school students Director
2020-01-02 07:27:12.993Acceleration Academies is an organization that runs a growing network of charter schools focused on underserved students who might otherwise drop out of high school. A lot of these young people come from difficult backgrounds and have found little or no support in traditional high school settings. And yet, they arrive determined to succeed. It's tremendously rewarding work, and the organization provides strong leadership from Dr. Joseph Wise and other veteran educators, competitive pay, excellent benefits and support from both local leaders and experts at the network level. It's a wonderful place to learn and grow with people who share a commitment to educational justice and have the know-how to achieve it.
I can't think of any downsides.
