High School Teachers
UNO knows that the key to student success is the adults in their lives. We believe in a call to service that reflects pride, passion and respect. UNO therefore sets out to find only the most talented, dedicated, visionary adults who are highly capable of infusing character by fostering real relationships with students. UNO believes in passionately employing high quality people, of high character who believe in using meaningful evaluative techniques to assess learning, who are consistently raising expectations, and who place supports in place to ensure that students achieve mastery.
The UNO teacher is unique in that they realize that success is built on relationships and they focus their work on student learning not teaching. Furthermore, they whole-heartedly believe that all students can learn and that it is all of our responsibilities to develop our students, both personally and academically. In serving a community that is primarily composed of Hispanic students and parents, the UNO Charter High School provides an opportunity for teachers to reverse low achievement and dropout trends by building on strengths of this immigrant community—a solid work ethic, family orientation and commitment to fulfilling their responsibilities and taking advantage of opportunities as American citizens.
UNO is searching for visionary high school teachers, counselors and leaders who will take responsibility in creating project-based studio courses that will require substantial rethinking of traditional high school pedagogy, curriculum, and content knowledge.
The statistics on high school graduation and college enrollment prove that there a dramatic need for new, high quality options in secondary education. The UNO Charter School Network has been involved with educational reform in Chicago for the past 20 years and has responded to the educational dilemma by establishing four academically successful K-8 charter schools since 1997 and will open, in response to parent demand, a quality high school that promotes UNO’s standard of high expectations and structured school environment.
UNO Charter School Network’s mission is to reshape the culture of education reform by creating learning environments where academic success is not a hope but an expectation. UNO Charter School Network believes in elevating the existing standards for student achievement by providing a quality high school that allows for students to practice college and career skills that will ensure their future success. The vision of the UNO Charter High School is to graduate global, model citizens via rigorous critical study to be self-disciplined, articulate, entrepreneurial, and life long learners. The focus of the UNO Charter High School is both career and college preparatory, allowing students the opportunity to explore skills and content necessary for their future endeavors.
The UNO Charter High School has built teacher supports into its design to ensure that teaching professionals can be excellent. Via our grade team planning approach, weekly staff development, and individualized professional plans teachers will grow and develop into vibrant curriculum writers and student learning facilitators. The UNO Charter High School believes in meeting students’ social-emotional needs throughout their high school years. The school model builds in time for relationships to grow and work to develop the whole student. Our shared values in social-emotional learning are to build students’ self-confidence, responsibility and discipline while helping them realize the hard work needed to succeed in their future endeavors.
