Organizational Description: The Field School's program is ambitious and bold,
and our faculty are required to embody the mission of the school – students
discover their authentic selves and distinctive paths to become empathetic, creative
thinkers who act boldly to shape our shared future – in their day-to-day interactions
with students, in the design and implementation of curriculum, and in their
professional interaction with colleagues.
A flexible and innovative mindset is required. As content experts and students of
best practice, all Field faculty are expected to adapt to their students' learning
interests and needs. Strong communication skills and a willingness to collaborate
are also important, as Field faculty in leadership regularly work with other teachers,
student-support teams, department chairs, and academic leadership to ensure that
all of our students are being supported and challenged by our mission.
At Field, we believe that students learn best when they feel a sense of belonging at
their school – when they are seen and valued by their teachers, peers, and school
community. Our approach to community emphasizes respect for, and the inclusion
of, all community members as individuals. We equally value a focus on the common
good and the well-being of the school community as a whole. This balance means
that we prioritize the community without prioritizing sameness.
Field is a place where our classrooms are better because they mirror the outside
world. We have a diversity of identity, thought, experience, and ability. We believe
in the interconnectedness of people and ideas, and we strive to be a learning
community at every level of the school. At the core, teaching faculty of any
discipline are expected to be committed learners and model community members.
While Field is an independent school we are not independent of each other, or our
established academic standards. Faculty are members of the larger Field community
and expected to shepherd the values of the school.
