Working at NCCL School
Working at NCCL School
At NCCL, we have come to recognize that DEI in schools is not just about celebrating differences, it is about challenge, push, and justice. We believe cultural competence at NCCL is essential to our DEI agenda and to the teaching and learning process, ensuring equitable opportunities and supports for each and every student. Cultural competence encompasses:
An understanding of one’s own cultural identity, biases, prejudices, and experiences of both privilege and marginalization;
The continuous pursuit of skills, knowledge, and personal growth needed to establish a meaningful connection with people from various cultural backgrounds; and
A lifelong commitment to action that supports equity within our school community.
At NCCL, we now consider cultural competence just as critical to a teacher’s overall success as content knowledge and classroom management. While none of us understands everything about what any given individual must deal with because of how society is structured around differences, it is essential that we grasp that there are ramifications to the ways people can be treated differently based on this structure. Understanding this means that we must consider these effects in dealing with our students, our parents, our community members, our stakeholders, and each other.
We are seeking culturally competent individuals who are able to design curriculum and choose activities that have the best chance of increasing the learning and engagement among a diverse group of students.
We are always looking for dedicated and talented professionals to join our community!
Active vacancies are posted below. If there is nothing available now, please share your interest with us via this short survey. We will keep your information on file and reach out to you if we have any openings!
