LEADERSHIP AT AUG PREP
Aug Prep leaders live by the apostle Luke’s guidance that to whom much is given, much is expected (Luke 12:48). Leadership at Aug Prep is a “never settle,” dynamic drive to serve our students and reflect the light of Jesus. The right candidate vehemently believes excellence is possible for every student. Grounded with a desire to serve and glorify God, an Aug Prep leader challenges themself and those around them daily to reach high, energetically hurdling obstacles and getting right back up when they fall (Colossians 3:17). Leadership at Aug Prep is not easy but is rewarding, exhilarating, impactful and absolutely never dull (Galatians 6:9).

In This Role, You Will :

The Director of Teaching and Learning at Aug Prep is a mission-driven instructional leader focused on ensuring every student experiences rigorous, joyful, and Christ-centered classrooms every day. Leading either K4–5 or 6–12, this role strengthens the core of teaching and learning—driving high-quality curriculum implementation, building teacher capacity through coaching, and using data driven methods to improve student outcomes. Partnering closely with school-level principals and instructional leaders, the Director helps translate vision into excellent classroom practice, ensuring consistency, alignment, and impact across school-levels and campuses. This is an opportunity to directly shape the student experience at scale in a high-performing, faith-filled community committed to excellence for every child.

[Important Note: This role supports teaching and learning across Aug Prep, with primary responsibility for either grades K4-5 OR grades 6-12 (opposite the Senior Director’s primary focus). The Director partners closely with the Senior Director of Teaching and Learning to ensure strong alignment and a seamless K4-12 academic experience across both campuses. Candidates should indicate their grade-band preference in their application.]

• Oversee implementation and continuous improvement of curriculum, ensuring coherence and consistency across campuses and grade bands.
• Partner with principals, instructional coaches, and teachers to support strong implementation, monitor fidelity, and address challenges in curriculum execution.
• Support the design and delivery of standards-aligned professional learning, reinforcing instructional coherence and Christ-centered, rigorous, and joy-filled classrooms.

• Partner with principals and school leaders to turn data into action, modeling strong data meetings, coaching facilitation, and ensuring follow-through on instructional adjustments, interventions, and progress monitoring.
• Oversee academic performance across campuses and grade bands, facilitating regular data meetings to analyze results, monitor progress (MAP, interim, ACT, grades), and drive clear, actionable next steps.
• Collaborate with the Senior Director and Data team to support systems that track instructional effectiveness and student outcomes across the K4-12 model.

What We’re Looking For
