When looking at who would be successful in the roles at TC, we look for a cultural fit. Are you are a progressive thinking teacher, who wants to be part of a community that wants to try new things seeing failure as an opportunity for growth, explore the possibilities around what authentic learning can look like, with improving student outcomes at the core of what we do. If you think this is you, we highly encourage you to apply.
