LPS is now hiring a few exceptional high school teachers for 2015-16 at LPS campuses in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Leadership Public Schools’ mission is to prepare urban students to succeed in college and to become leaders in their communities. The LPS approach – innovation, assessment, academic rigor, and commitment to providing individualized learning pathways – is transforming the lives of our students. Our commitment is to take underprepared students, many who will be first generation college students, and provide a clear realistic path to and through college. The LPS Network is built around collaborative innovation and distributed incubation.
Teachers enjoy being a part of a “research and development” organization that addresses critical challenges in urban education. We incubate our teachers’ innovative ideas, collect data, and scale ideas that work – both across our schools and across the country. We believe risk taking, collaboration, and high expectations are central ingredients to ensuring every LPS student receives the education he or she needs to blaze a successful path to and through college.
