CANDIDATE PROFILE

▶️ The Relentless Instructional Driver A leader who treats rigorous, standards-aligned instruction as the non-negotiable center of every decision. They run tight weekly coaching cycles, conduct walkthroughs with real-time feedback, and know exactly which classrooms need attention and why. They move student achievement results because they never stop working the instructional levers.

▶️ The Data-Driven Decision Maker A leader who runs weekly data meetings the way a coach watches game film — looking for what broke down, why, and what changes on Monday. They track reading mastery, benchmark performance, and intervention progress not as compliance exercises but as daily leadership tools. When results soften, they have a reteach plan in motion before the week is out.

▶️ The Culture and Climate Builder A leader who builds a school environment that is warm, structured, safe, and joyful — all at once. They implement consistent behavioral expectations, partner with families as genuine stakeholders, and make sure every student is known and supported. The building feels like a place where children want to be because this leader designed it that way.

▶️ The Talent Developer and Team Builder A leader who hires well, coaches constantly, and retains the people they invest in. They manage Assistant Principals, Instructional Coaches, and a Dean of Operations with clear expectations and real feedback. Their staff culture is one of high engagement and high accountability — and their teacher retention numbers show it.

▶️ The Operational and Financial Owner A leader who understands that academic excellence runs on operational infrastructure. They own enrollment, attendance, FTE reporting, budget, and facilities not as administrative burden but as the foundation everything else stands on. They end the year in the black, hit their FTE targets, and make sure the building is safe, clean, and ready every single day.

SALARY RANGE: $65,000 - $110,000

CANDIDATE PROFILE

▶️ The Content Expert A leader who knows Science and Social Studies cold — not just the standards, but the sequencing, the misconceptions students carry grade to grade, and what rigorous work actually looks like in a 5th grade science classroom versus a 10th grade one. They earn teacher trust because they can sit down, open a unit plan, and make it better on the spot.

▶️ The Curriculum Architect A leader who builds coherent, standards-aligned curriculum systems that teachers can actually use. They think in scope and sequence, not just lessons. They know how a unit plan connects to a benchmark connects to a state assessment — and they design backward from the end goal every time.

▶️ The Data-Driven Improver A leader who treats student achievement data in Science and Social Studies the way a principal treats school-wide reading scores. They notice when results soften in a content area, diagnose why, and have a course correction plan in motion before the next data cycle. Numbers are not a report — they are a daily leadership tool.

▶️ The Coach Who Develops Content Leaders A leader who builds up the curriculum team and the content leaders beneath them with genuine investment. They give specific, actionable feedback after observations, design PD that teachers actually rate highly, and create the kind of team where people grow every quarter because of the leader they have above them.

▶️ The Florida Context Expert A leader who is deeply fluent in the Florida education landscape — state standards, FSA/FAST assessments, A-F school grading, and what it takes to move a school toward an A rating. They don't need to be oriented to the context; they already live and work inside it and know how to build curriculum that performs in it.

SALARY RANGE: $130,000

CANDIDATE PROFILE

• ▶️ The Visionary Founder: A courageous entrepreneur with a clear, bold vision for a "trajectory-changing" school that addresses the specific needs of a Colorado community.

• ▶️ The Relentless Learner: A high-capacity individual ready to immerse themselves in a rigorous, two-year training program to master the complexities of school design and operations.

• ▶️ The Community Catalyst: A leader who can build deep local roots, mobilizing families, boards, and stakeholders to support the birth of a new, high-quality educational option.

• ▶️ The Single-Site Specialist: A focused advocate committed to the "hands-on" work of launching a single, high-performing charter school from the ground up.

ROLE SUMMARY

The Legacy Fellowship is an elite, two-year incubator designed for visionary school founders committed to transforming the educational landscape of Colorado. This fellowship recognizes that creating a "trajectory-changing" school requires more than just a good idea; it requires a specialized set of skills in leadership, finance, curriculum design, and community engagement. By providing a generous $125,000 annual salary for two years, the program allows Fellows to step away from their current roles and dedicate their full energy to the rigorous work of launching a high-quality, single-site charter school.

Throughout the fellowship, participants transition from the "dreaming" phase to the "doing" phase, receiving the training and coaching necessary to navigate Colorado's unique charter landscape. The ultimate goal of the Legacy Fellowship is to ensure that when the school's doors finally open, the founder has built a sustainable, high-performing institution that provides students with an education of the highest caliber. This is a rare opportunity for transformative leaders to turn their passion for equity and excellence into a brick-and-mortar reality for the children and families of Colorado.
