Environmental Charter School
School Psychologist
The Environmental Charter School has an immediate need for a School Psychologist. Successful candidates must be progressive minded, and embody a can-do spirit and work ethic. For best consideration, candidates should have a degree or experience in education, a strong work ethic, and a “whatever it takes” attitude.
WORKING AT THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHARTER SCHOOL
The Environmental Charter School’s faculty and staff are passionate, talented and uncompromising with a mission to make sure all students succeed at a high level following our guiding principles of catalyst, character, collaboration, and commitment. Every aspect of our organization and program is designed – and continually refined – to ensure that goal. Our work is student-centered, constantly improving, and reflective. ECS’s progressive approach to education challenges faculty to take risks. We strongly value collaboration and recognize the power of systems thinking. Our high achievement scores, long waiting lists, and unique location in the city of Pittsburgh, serve as a model in environmentally-focused education.
OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Catalyst: As a charter school, we are innovators in public education. We are a passionate and progressive group of educators who work to develop individuals into global thinkers with diverse perspectives
Character: We are dedicated to making the world a better place, socially and environmentally, for future generations. We engage students in character development through educational experiences that evaluate the impact of individual choices and that are born from collective discussion and the investigation of diverse perspectives.
Community: We value collaboration with our community and recognize the power of systems thinking. We believe that respectful, transparent, and reflective dialogue among our constituents (students, families, faculty, neighbors, and regional partners) is necessary for elevating educational experiences for all learners.
Commitment: We are a dedicated community of passionate leaders who are committed to defining ecological literacy in an educational setting. Our educational model endorses an interdisciplinary view of complex environmental systems.
