ABOUT ALLIANCE COLLEGE-READY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Alliance College-Ready Public Schools was founded in 2004 based on the belief that all young people––regardless of ZIP code, income, ability, or background–– are capable of achieving at high levels.
Alliance is one of the largest and most successful public charter school networks in the nation, operating 26 high-performing middle and high schools serving nearly 13,000 scholars in Los Angeles communities that have been systematically oppressed.
Over the course of nearly two decades Alliance has a proven record of success: though 93% of incoming sixth graders come to Alliance reading below grade level, 95% of Alliance seniors graduate and are accepted to college.
Now is the time to join our collaborative community to make long-lasting change across Los Angeles.
Come teach at Alliance, where teachers achieve and scholars succeed.
WHY TEACH AT ALLIANCE?
Teaching at an Alliance school is an opportunity to inspire transformational change for scholars and their communities, while building lifelong, meaningful relationships.
Being a humanities teacher at Alliance involves developing deep learning partnerships with scholars, and facilitating learning that empowers scholars with a critical lens through which they’ll analyze and challenge the texts and ideas before them, therefore developing the intellectual curiosity to question the world around them and advocate on behalf of themselves and their communities.
We closely collaborate and work with ELD, Intervention and SPED departments to ensure alignment between our courses.
We have also focus on the Core 4 strategies across content areas to ensure we are designing accessible instruction.
Humanities teachers receive embedded support from select schools which provide onsite support managers.
Professional learning communities (Learning Modules) are centered around topics that were selected by the community.
