Job o' the Day: Start a School and Help Close the Achievement Gap

Building Excellent Schools is looking for the most entrepreneurial and driven leaders to make a scholastic difference. Building Excellent Schools is a national organization with more than a decade of experience training leaders to found independently managed urban charter schools.  BES Fellows have founded more than 40 schools across the country.

Fellows complete a practice-based training built around the understanding of the best school practices in the highest performing urban charter schools.  Additional training consists of a residency in a high-performing urban charter school, school visits with the Fellowship cohort of like-minded leaders, and structured work in your home territory. The goal of the year-long fellowship is  to conclude with an approved charter application, inclusive of the best-practices in urban school design, and an exceptional founding board.

For the 2012-2013 Fellowship, BES is accepting applications from individuals who are driven to start charter schools in Colorado, Massachusetts, New York, and Tennessee. However, they will also consider other territories.
