POSITION DESCRIPTION

Geffen Academy educators approach teaching as an intellectual profession of the highest order, one in which knowledge is not only transmitted but created. Geffen Academy educators possess a sophisticated and reflective understanding of their discipline and a record of achievement which demonstrates their ability to utilize and contribute to the robust connections we have with UCLA, a world-class research institution. Educators’ work is guided by our school’s mission to prioritize proven educational practices while also recognizing that teaching is a complex intellectual endeavor that defies rigid codification. Geffen Academy educators seek to create trusting and caring relationships with their students and with their larger community.

Innovation Track (I-Track) is a course of study spanning Middle and Upper School that uses technology and design thinking as a framework for developing the habits of mind of innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders. Students will solve real-world problems using a variety of tools and the design thinking process, which asks students to understand the problem from a user-centered perspective, to explore solutions to the problem with rapid prototyping, and to materialize and iteratively refine solutions.

The I-Track Department Chair will be responsible for the design of an excellent program of secondary school instruction. In addition to being a master educator, the I-Track Department Chair will lead in the creation of a course of study that offers students the opportunity to develop knowledge, skills, and commitments to bring their own ideas for projects, programs, and processes into fruition.
