The Middle School Learning Specialist is a collaborative member of the Student Services team and works closely with teachers, the admissions director, the Counselors, Learning Center staff, Deans of Student Life and Academic Life, as well as Lower and Middle School Division directors to implement a dynamic and comprehensive program of academic, social, and emotional support for all students.
The Middle School Learning Specialist must have the capacity to help support the technical elements of the Learning Services role and possess the emotional and empathic capacity to help students and families to succeed in middle school.
The Middle School Learning Specialist is responsible for their own learning and growth and seeks out professional development opportunities throughout the year in order to ensure they are aware of all the current educational pedagogy.
As members of the teaching faculty, the Learning Specialist should be ready to chaperone class trips and engage fully in all school or division-wide events/experiences that develop the whole child in a Catholic, independent school community.
As with any employee at Mayfield Junior School, there is an expectation that this person will be open to peer feedback, creative discussion, and child-centered in their approach. All employees at Mayfield Junior School should familiarize themselves with the mission and vision statement and be prepared to actively teach with Holy Child goals in mind.
