Research and Teaching Fellows joining CSS
Dear CSS students and parents,
Founding Faculty Hired!
It is with much excitement that I write to introduce to you our founding faculty. The decision to hire these seven individuals was long and arduous, and involved reviewing several hundred resumes, making over two dozen observations of teaching, reviewing professional portfolios, and reference checks.
Update on Faculty Hiring
The most important decision I can make as a leader of this school is the hiring of our faculty. The faculty are the heart, soul and brain of the school and the adults most directly responsible for providing our children with an extraordinary education. It is the faculty who are encharged with the awesome responsibility of transforming the lives of our students.
