èßäapp¹ÙÍø

Department Vision:

Our department seeks to cultivate multiple pathways for leaders and educators to expand their career opportunities. We want every èßäapp¹ÙÍø employee to want to spend their entire career in èßäapp¹ÙÍø - and have multiple, supported possibilities for doing so.

Development and advancement can occur horizontally or vertically within the district - educators can move “up” or “sideways” to a variety of roles depending on their interest and skills. No matter how educators move through what we call the “Career Lattice,” our department seeks to grow educators across the system who embody èßäapp¹ÙÍø’s Educator Essentials  -- educators who are caring, empathetic, relational, future-focused problem solvers and who demonstrate effective collaboration, anti-racist practice, and courageous leadership.

Ultimately, we strive to lead shifts that turn èßäapp¹ÙÍø into a premier learning organization. We envision our system supporting every single employee and team to learn and grow in the significant ways we need to in order to support our district’s vision and graduate portrait.

Department Programs

To build out our Career Lattice, PLL supports multiple programs across the continuum of educators’ careers, as shown below. Within each stage of career development, we have or are building programs that support both teachers and leaders to grow. Ultimately, we aim to have programs for all job types across èßäapp¹ÙÍø.
