The Partnership for Los Angeles Schools seeks a transformational elementary school leader who is committed to every student and family in the 49th Street Elementary School community. We believe that the goal of a school’s transformation journey is reaching Powerful Schooling: A powerful school is one where a unified staff engages in sustained, intentional work to create a professional culture where they feel affirmed, supported, and can thrive in their practice. As a result, educators ensure students experience joy as they learn and grow, in an environment where students develop a positive sense of their identity, where student voice is empowered, where culturally responsive pedagogy and practice is enacted, and where students and families see the school as a liberative force within the community. By enacting those things, a powerful school has high functioning systems, strong student academic performance, and a robust college-oriented culture.
