Full Description:

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. UNO leaders and teachers are 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. Leaders understand and act on their responsibility to professionally support and develop all staff members to reach their full instructional and leadership potential.

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 eight academically successful K-8 charter schools since 1997 and, 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 is currently searching for visionary leaders at the elementary and high school-level. Successful candidates will possess a commitment to redefining academic excellence through action, the development and realization of the UNO Academic Model. The model will place an emphasis on differentiated learning, a balance between higher order and basic skills mastery and content-rich, standards based instruction. Through this model, UNO students will develop as avid readers, articulate communicators and entrepreneurial, life-long learners ready for success in the nation's top universities.
