“Outstanding” is not just a superficial descriptor when we talk about our team — we really mean it. Our teachers stand out.
“Our son’s teacher is more than just an educator. Yes, she is extraordinary in the classroom, having cultivated this a tangible joy for learning in the classroom and having the tools to keep our son challenged and accelerate his reading skill. But more importantly to us, at least, she feels like part of our family, supporting us moment after moment as we encounter the crazy ‘what do we do now’ situations as first-time parents. That is invaluable.”
At Croft, we make a resolute commitment to providing our students the very best: we aspire to hire and retain the best teachers in the field. That means teachers who are caring and empathetic, experienced yet innovative, and who bring a natural and contagious zeal to a profession they love. It means teachers who come from a wide range of backgrounds and reflect the diversity of our communities and student body. And it means teachers who our children will remember, vividly, for the rest of their lives.
Our Commitment is why we invest hundreds of hours in conversations, interviews, observations, and other efforts to find outstanding teachers.
Our Commitment is also why we’ve made intentional decisions in our school design that are aimed at yielding long-term retention of our talented staff. For Croft to be sustainably excellent, we need to be a school where teachers are excited to remain in our classrooms for tens of years. We believe that outstanding teachers thrive on - and deserve - a level of autonomy to make their own pedagogical decisions built upon the pillars of our school’s overall educational approach. Further, while a strong work ethic is an instinct and commitment of our teachers, we’ve also sought to design a professional environment in which our teachers can sustain the workload over many years without fear of burnout. The professional journey of a Croft teacher is a marathon, not a sprint.
