As a democratic community, we strive to exemplify the values of democracy: mutual respect, cooperation, empathy, the love of humankind, justice for all, and service to the world. Our School Prep is one of NYC's original small high schools, begun almost 2 decades ago in the early era of the small schools movement. Our ways of working with students are based in the and in our Seven Core Values, developed by founding co-director Perry Weiner: Respect for Humanity Respect for Diversity Respect for the Intellect Respect for the Truth Commitment to Peace Commitment to Justice Commitment to Democracy We also align our work with the Coalition of Essential Schools' Twelve Principles, which can be found at www.essentialschools.org<http://www.essentialschools.org/>. Our work as a member of the New York State Performance Based Standards Consortium (www.performanceassessment.org<http://www.performanceassessment.org/>) guides and informs our outcomes-based education philosophy. This enables us to continue to strive to create a school that has high expectations, shared accountability, is student-centered, and uses Performance Based Assessment to measure what our students learn. Humanities Prep students fulfill graduation requirements by demonstrating their knowledge through the completion and presentation of four Performance-Based Assessments to a panel of "experts," as well as through achieving success on the ELA Regents Exam. In addition, graduates must complete four years of academic and elective courses of student work as per NY State Graduation Requirements.

We are also seeking a maternity leave replacement for ESL for September and October. Landmark is a small, college preparatory high school located in Chelsea. As a member of the Consortium, we believe that performance-based assessments are a stronger measure of our students' progress and understanding than high stakes tests. Therefore, our teachers work hard to develop meaningful, engaging, and rigorous curricula that are largely project-based and place students at the center of instruction. We believe that collaboration is integral to our own professional growth and development. Every teacher meets weekly with their department team as well as with their grade team. Teachers also meet weekly with their ICT partners for collaborative curriculum planning and assessment. In the service of ongoing professional development, we also have instructional coaches and weekly PD workshops for all teachers. At Landmark, every teacher additionally serves as an advisor to approximately fifteen students. We believe that our advisory program is essential to ensure that students build close, trusting relationships, as well as certain non-academic skills, including perseverance and responsibility. We implement restorative justice practices and all advisors are trained in facilitating restorative circles. Our advisory program helps us to establish a family environment within our school. All applicants should please send a resume and cover letter to Caron Pinkus at caronpinkus1(a)gmail.com<mailto:caronpinkus1@gmail.com>.
