Organization Overview
At Literacy Academy Collective (LAC), we believe access to literacy and high-quality instruction is the most pressing Civil Rights issue in New York City. Our mission is to build and support a network of NYCPS schools that allow children with dyslexia, language-based learning disabilities (LBLDs), and other struggling learners to achieve academic success. Following the success of our South Bronx and Central Brooklyn sites, we are expanding our instructional leadership team to ensure rigorous, evidence-based math instruction across our network.
Here is the consolidated, one-page draft for the Math Program Supervisor. This version balances the high-level math pedagogy you require with the rigorous organizational and collaborative expectations of your network.
