Full Job Description

About DeKalb Brilliance Academy: Designed with input from nearly 1,000 South DeKalb community members, DeKalb Brilliance Academy is a tuition-free, public K–8 charter school committed to building a fundamentally different kind of education. We currently serve grades K–6 and will add one grade per year (learn more about our founding journey here).

Our vision is that each child will know and leverage their unique brilliance to critically analyze the world around them and to design a better and more equitable future. We pursue this vision through our Real-world Project-based Learning, where students learn not only from their teachers and peers, but also directly from scientists, lawyers, engineers, and designers. Our model is ambitious by design—and built to challenge the status quo in service of our students and community.

DeKalb Brilliance Academy: where the strength of our community nurtures the brilliance of our children.

About the role: Lead Teachers are the primary classroom leaders at DeKalb Brilliance Academy. They design and facilitate rigorous, culturally responsive instruction while helping refine the systems, curriculum, and culture of a growing founding school.

Lead Teachers report to Assistant Principals and work in close collaboration with grade-level and content teams. This role requires strong instructional skill, commitment to growth, and a willingness to build and iterate alongside colleagues in pursuit of excellence for every student.

Responsibilities & duties (including but not limited to):

Instructional Leadership

Facilitate rigorous, culturally responsive instruction across core academic subjects, social-emotional learning, and real-world Project-Based Learning.
Maintain an asset-based, growth-oriented mindset toward oneself and every member of the school community, using reflection and perseverance to drive student progress.
Collaborate with peers to plan units, analyze assessments and student work, and continuously improve instruction and curriculum.

Community Collaboration

Partner with students and families to create Learning Partnership Plans with ambitious goals in academics, social-emotional development, and community impact.
Communicate with each family at least once per month about student progress (via phone, email, and/or Dojo).
Enact school-wide efforts to ensure identity-affirming, supportive school culture for faculty and students.
Implement school-wide restorative approaches to build community, celebrate when our students and faculty excel, and respond/repair when our community values are not upheld.
Participate actively in professional learning, coaching, and school-wide initiatives.

Other Duties

Fulfill additional responsibilities aligned with the needs of a growing founding school, as assigned.

What Teaching Looks Like at DeKalb Brilliance (and How You’re Supported)

Teaching at DeKalb Brilliance is demanding and deeply purposeful. As a founding school, teachers are asked to do meaningful, high-impact work that challenges the status quo—with real support built into the structure of the day.

Teachers at DeKalb Brilliance:

Teach a standards-aligned core curriculum that integrates real-world, career-connected projects (you will not be starting from scratch).
Plan collaboratively with peers during daily planning period and weekly early-release time dedicated to collaboration, student work analysis, and professional learning.
Use student data regularly - with support from a dedicated coach with a strong track record of student success - to refine instruction and close gaps.
Build strong classroom cultures grounded in identity affirmation, restorative practices, and high expectations.
Receive the materials needed to be successful, including curriculum for every subject (for Lead Teachers to adapt and improve), classroom supplies, and teacher/student laptops.

While the work is harder than the status quo, teachers are not asked to build in isolation. We believe challenge should be purposeful, supported, and shared - and we invest accordingly.
