Great Oaks Legacy schools have a robust support structure in place for teachers. Each school has a School Director, Directors of Curriculum and Instruction, Deans, and is supported by the Chief Academic Officer. We provide consistent opportunities for coaching and development through weekly observation and feedback sessions as well as regular professional development.
Great Oaks Legacy has a unique model where students receives small group or individualized tutorial sessions built into their regular class schedule. Our middle and high schools have a cohort of recent college graduates serving under the AmeriCorps program who lead these sessions. Tutors not only serve as mentors and build on students’ academic success they also help students to hold themselves accountable and set personalized goals to ensure they are striving to reach their full potential.
Engaging with parents and families of students is simply the way of life at Great Oaks Legacy. Schools host a variety of activities throughout the year to build community and tutors and teachers call parents regularly to update them on their child’s progress not just to report on behavior issues. We take pride in building relationships with parents so together we can all better support students.
