This new role leads a grade-level (developmentally-aligned) cluster – the “senior high” cluster (10 th -12 th grades), the “junior high” cluster (7 th -9 th grades), or the “elementary cluster” (5 th -6 th grades). The Assistant Principal meets with the Principal and two other Assistant Principals regularly to: Calibrate on daily and weekly areas of focus (student well-being, safety areas of focus for campus walk-throughs, instructional areas of focus for classroom walk-throughs, and staff culture and morale), and Discuss strategic initiatives, and develop “test and learn” opportunities for applicable innovations. While the four leaders share leadership and accountability across the school, the Assistant Principals are responsible for making sure cluster goals are met and that progress is made against other school-wide goals. The Principal is the senior leader most responsible for making sure compliance, culture, and program goals are met through the leadership and support of the Assistant Principals. More specifically, the Assistant Principal focus areas are: Student safety and well-being Rigorous and relevant instruction School culture Faculty and staff supervision and development Parent and school community engagement. In this leadership role, the Assistant Principal is responsible for communicating regularly with the Principal and must be responsive and accountable to both the Principal (and indirectly, the MWA CEO) in the following areas as they relate to the MWA mission, vision, and values, including the following as it relates to our tagline: LEARN – A focus on early intervention and remediation of academic skills in math, reading, and writing and social-emotional decision-making development in the lower grades (5 th -6 th ); a continued focus on social-emotional development, academic skill development, and preparation for high school-level rigor and decision-making in the middle grades (7 th -9 th ), and continued social-emotional development, academic skill development, and post-secondary pathway exploration along with college access exposure in the upper grades (10 th -12 th grades). GRADUATE – We have had great success with helping students meet the important milestone of earning their high school diplomas. With our graduation requirements aligned with the California college and university admissions requirements for “a-g” course completion, we expect as close to 100% of our students to graduate, earn their high school diplomas, be college-eligible, and “pre-career” ready.

Make sure that formal feedback cycles occur throughout the year, that clear and measurable performance goals are set, and that a written formal review for all MWA employees in your cluster occurs by the end of the school year. Ensure that all MWA staff are monitoring the safety and well-being of students and adults in the community, adhering to Mandated Reporter requirements, and communicating any concerns, with respect to safety and well-being of MWA staff and students, to the Principal or HR.
