About the Opportunity
ECPA is searching for an instructional leader who believes deeply in the brilliance of young men and is ready to build the academic systems, adult culture, and instructional excellence that will challenge, affirm, and inspire them and that will define and elevate ECPAs academic model as the school expands its impact and moves from its founding years toward full scale.

As we grow from our inaugural cohort of 5th and 6th graders to include 7th grade next yearand ultimately serve over 450 scholars in grades 58this role is pivotal in shaping the instructional vision, systems, and adult learning culture that will anchor ECPA for years to come. In this multi-content instructional leadership role, you will guide the development and execution of a rigorous, identity-affirming academic program across all subject areas.

Working closely with teachers, the Founding Principal, and Elevate Charter Schools leadership, you will strengthen instructional practice through direct coaching, classroom observations, and data-driven decision-making. You will design and facilitate high-impact professional development, support teachers in planning and refining curriculum, and ensure that instructional systems are coherent, sustainable, and ready to scale.

Because ECPA is still in its founding years, this role requires a leader who thrives in environments where collaboration, co-creation, and systems-building are essential. You will help refine the academic model launched in Year 1, build structures that support teacher growth and student achievement, and ensure that academic rigor is seamlessly integrated with our school culture, character development, and commitment to developing young men of color as leaders.

This is an opportunity for a visionary, inspiring, growth-oriented instructional leader who embraces continuous learning, leads with humility and clarity, and is energized by the challengeand privilegeof building a school that will shape generations of young men in New Haven.
