Who We Are Capital Village is a network of micro-schools that puts students first. Every student is different. But time and time again, they cite the same key issues when it comes to school.  Students want more authenticity, more skills that are relevant to their everyday lives, and above all, more agency in their own learning experiences. Without these, schools fail students — and we believe they deserve better. Capital Village Schools is born out of the urgent need to rethink the “one size fits all” model of American education. Each Capital Village School will create an environment where all students, regardless of background or circumstance, are propelled toward greatness in college, career, and life. With only 160 students at each school at full capacity, our intentionally small communities will focus on personalizing the learning experience and serving the whole child. Grounded in the principles of EL Education (formerly known as Expeditionary Learning), our students will master academic content through engaging social justice-focused projects. Our first campus, a middle school, is slated to open in Washington, DC, in Fall 2020. Who You Are You believe that school can be different, and you want to use your voice and your skills to help shape an innovative new school model that will ultimately grow to serve hundreds of students across the city. You are, above all, a learner. Your potential is limitless because you are constantly growing as a person and as a professional. You are driven by the belief that all children, regardless of their background or their zip code, can achieve at the highest levels.

The Position Rocketship school leadership teams each include a Principal and Assistant Principals focused on instruction, an Office Manager focused on student information and family engagement, and a school leader focused on all other operations aspects of running the school -- what some might call an “AP of Operations,” though we at Rocketship call it a Business Operations Manager (BOM). The BOM reports directly to the Principal and manages a team of hourly Operations Specialists. As the Operations leader, the BOM is responsible for all aspects of lunch, recess, arrival, dismissal and physical space at their campus.  Thus, the role requires not only the ability to manage “business” topics like logistics and compliance, but also a deep understanding of behavior management, culture-setting, and behavior management coaching. The BOM helps ensure the school has a consistent culture across spaces, keeps our students safe, and ultimately enables instructional staff to focus on teaching and learning. This means BOMs are multi-talented leaders who can build systems, own processes like procurement and facilities maintenance, and partner with all adults on campus to support our students. The BOM role is an excellent opportunity for operationally-minded teachers and school leaders who want to grow and develop through an operational school leadership position. Essential Functions Schoolwide Systems & Culture Own the logistics, staffing, and daily management of arrival, lunch, recess, dismissal and physical space at your campus Coach Support Staff daily in behavior management techniques, through both “in-the-moment coaching” and planned 1:1s.
