POSITION FUNCTION/PURPOSE
The multi-classroom leader (MCL) leads a small team of teachers, paraprofessionals, and teacher residents in the same grade or subject to meet the MCL’s standards of excellence. MCLs establish each team member’s roles and goals at least annually, determine how students spend time, and organize teaching roles to fit each teacher’s strengths, content knowledge, and professional development goals. The team uses the MCL’s methods and tools. The MCL co-plans, co-teaches, models, coaches, and gives feedback. The MCL also teaches students part of the time, in most cases. The MCL organizes the team to analyze student learning data and change instruction to ensure high-growth learning for every child. The MCL collaborates with the team, using the team’s ideas and innovations that the MCL agrees may improve learning. The MCL is fully accountable for learning and development of all students taught by the team members. Each MCL helps choose team members and leads their development, and monitors, assesses, and shares their progress with the principal.
Multi-classroom leaders may be “full release” (meaning they teach no full class(es) of their own) or “partial release” (in which they continue to teach a class for part of the day). A partial-release MCL typically has a smaller team than a full-release MCL.
Major Responsibilities
Partial-release MCLs will apply all of these responsibilities to their own classroom(s) as well as those of their team members. Full-release MCLs ensure follow-through on these practices by their team members, and use the instructional strategies when working directly with the team’s students.
