OPPORTUNITY
Green Dot recognizes that high-quality instruction is central to the academic success of students. We are committed to ensuring that every student, regardless of background or circumstance, is not only provided with the opportunity to succeed, but empowered with the self-confidence and support networks necessary to transform opportunities into accomplishments. This mission has fueled our thriving professional development and growth programs, which support and challenge teachers to maximize their impact in the classroom and advance their careers as leaders in education.

Graduates will be career- and college-ready, critically conscious and literate citizens, culturally competent leaders and critically engaged change agents. Teachers will work with students on college-readiness test preparation and college applications as well as the scholarship and financial aid application process, as well as teach and reinforce the skills needed to make a successful transition from high school to post-secondary education and/or the workforce. The positions will also work with department members to maintain the schools’ scope and sequence as scholars move from grades 9-12.

This mission is the driving force behind our thriving professional development and growth programs, which support and challenge teachers to maximize their impact in the classroom and advance their careers as educational leaders. Acknowledging the importance of professional empowerment, Green Dot teachers are proudly represented by the Asociación de Maestros Unidos (AMU), an affiliate of the California Teachers’ Association and the National Education Association.
