Teacher Profile
How would you describe the Austin Achieve community?
Although we are separated by grade levels, when we get into our all-staff meetings, those barriers disappear. We are one school, one family, and we are here for our scholars no matter what. Everybody is so personable and easily approachable that it makes work so much more fun. You're here with people who are very like-minded, passionate, and also want to be around you.
As a teacher, what kind of support can you expect to receive at Austin Achieve?
The individual coaching is incredibly helpful, and I also feel like our school principals really position teachers as leaders at this school. If you have an innovative idea that you want to try, there is always someone there in leadership willing to help you get there or push you to do it. There's so much opportunity for professional growth and it comes from absolutely everyone here.
What would you tell a candidate that is interested in Austin Achieve?
I have never been to a school where scholars are always put first and there is always a team to back you up, no matter the instance. We're one school, one family. These teachers are truly the best at their job, and we are looking for educators who have just as much passion as we do.
