Teaching at Adda Clevenger: The expected course load for a teacher is 5-6 instructional periods per day, rounded out by lunch/recess supervision, advisory duties, after school activities or a second subject, substitute coverage, special projects and prep periods. Our regular school day is from 8:00am -5:00pm and academic classes are scheduled throughout the entire day. Teacher prep takes place during the school day. All teachers participate in school life in a variety of ways. For example, some teachers support student productions and performances as stage managers, others take the lead in organizing Spirit Day activities or moderating a student club. Adda Clevenger teachers enjoy considerable autonomy in their classrooms and are responsible for developing and maintaining their own subject matter curricula. We believe that the teacher and the students are the two critical elements of an effective classroom and the curriculum must derive from and be continually and creatively adapted to their changing needs and environment.
