Teaching is an Art
At Chrysalis, our teachers get to practice the art of teaching by getting to know their students in 1-1 settings and in small groups (12 students or less). Each teacher designs a curriculum that fits the student(s) in front of them. Our teachers have the freedom to change direction and pace when needed, to decide the best way to meet the goal of helping the student learn, and are supported in this through our mentoring program.
Mentoring and Professional Development
All staff are supported and mentored. As a new Chrysalis teacher, you will meet weekly with your mentor teacher, who will guide you as you learn to design a personalized curriculum focused on creating an Optimal Learning Environment™ for each of your students. You’ll attend weekly meetings with some of our advisors to learn more about Chrysalis culture and monthly department meetings with your peers to share resources and teaching strategies. Chrysalis is also an approved clock hour agency and offers courses throughout the year at no cost to keep your certificate current.
Team Approach
We use a team approach for each student. A student’s teaching team is made up of several team members, each brought in for their expertise or style. Teachers collaborate and do what works with their students to maximize student engagement and support their goals. A student’s Consulting Teacher is the team leader and provides all contact with the parents, reducing the overall workload for the other teachers, freeing them up to focus on teaching.
Room to Grow
Each of our teachers begin their Chrysalis career with their initial year, then have the opportunity to grow into other teaching positions as a: Specialist, Consulting Teacher, Mentor, and Academic Advisor. Each position has increased responsibilities and salary.
