1/2

W hen I was hired at Perspectives Middle Academy,I had two additional offers, both of which weresignicantly more lucrative nancially. In addition tothose contracts and my offer at Perspectives MiddleAcademy, I was expected to return to the school thatI currently worked at and loved dearly. However, I wasimmediately attracted to the A Disciplined Life social-emotional learning curriculum at Perspectives.

The academic and character education foundationthat A Disciplined Life offers students is priceless.So, I traded monetary gain for spiritual, social, andemotional investments in my students. At Perspectives,I openly teach students the right thing to do andhow to carry themselves as accomplished scholars.

I am a leader of A Disciplined Life instruction andimplementation at my campus, which is a priority ateach school in our network.

Our students are motivated to learn. They are seless.They take pride in being a part of the Perspectivesfamily. They often come back to campus after they

have graduated and gone on to college to tell us thatthey appreciate what they have learned through A

Disciplined Life. Like many young people, our studentswill make mistakes, however, through A DisciplinedLife, students choose to apologize or nd a peacefulresolution all on their own. They take initiative andproblem solve. At Perspectives, our students are goaloriented, ambitious, and dedicated.

We are seeking transformative teachers who believethat all of our students can go to college, and whoknow that an education that addresses the whole childwill help them succeed once they get there. We are agrowing network, and we aggressively promote fromwithin; our great teachers become instructional leaders,

and 100% of our principals were once Perspectivesteachers.

With ve schools on the South Side of Chicago,Perspectives Charter Schools is transforming publiceducation.
