Job Description:
Strategenius on behalf of Maybeck High School *** Maybeck High
School, an inclusive and vibrant school grounded in community and
individuality, is seeking a thoughtful and dynamic educator to lead
through collaboration and compassion as the next School Director.
Founded 50 years ago in Berkeley, California, when four local
teachers rebelled against censorship in the classroom, Maybeck was
established with academic freedom at its core - freedom for
students and staff, alike. Today, Maybeck thrives from that
practice of freethinking. It is an intentionally small school with
an enrollment of approximately 115 students. Reporting to the Board
of Directors, the School Director is simultaneously the public face
of the school, an enthusiastic educator, and its central
administrator. While the School Director has executive
decision-making authority regarding many of the school's affairs,
they are expected to actively collaborate and to build consensus
among the full staff when making educational and operational
decisions. Administrative leadership at Maybeck is unique in this
way. Maybeck was founded as a school run by teachers and this is
still true today. While many schools centralize decision-making
authority to a "Leadership Team," at Maybeck, leadership is
extended across all staff through several different committees that
plan, propose, and decide policy and operations. To this end,
Maybeck's School Director must have a broad-minded definition of
servant leadership, with sincere intention and demonstration of
placing the group before the individual. In partnership with the
staff, the Director will guide the school community both in
everyday planning and long-term strategic direction, including
helping to develop the next strategic plan. The Director is the
keeper of Maybeck's collective vision, and with that, is a teacher,
at heart and in practice. The Director will be seen and known on
campus and in the classroom. This is not a role where one stays
locked behind the closed door of an office; rather, it entails
leading from within as an active participant in daily life. The
Director will provide additional operational structure and vision
to maintain Maybeck's spirit. Employment Type: Full Time Salary:
$150,000 - $185,000 Annual Bonus/Commission: No
