We are building a community of educators who are up for the challenge of reimagining how we do school from the ground up.  It won't be easy, but it will be rewarding.  An ideal candidate would have a tendency to reject the status quo and a strong desire to tinker and reinvent our learning models.  They would understand the role systematic racism and oppression plays in education and are committed to taking an anti-biased, anti-racist approach in all functions and interactions.  They would thrive in a small community where each member is a leader and an influencer towards 'living out loud' our collective commitments.  While we are a virtual community, this role does report in person to foster a strong sense of community and organic collaboration.
