Morton School of Excellence is committed to ensuring high academic achievement for every student by delivering the highest quality education that prepares students for the full range of opportunities in their future. The focus is on the whole child: academic, social, and emotional development.
Principal Connie Grimm-Grason will cultivate a learning community of teachers who will strive to improve their instruction through reflection, collaboration, and innovation, with the goal of increased student achievement. Beginning with 5 weeks of professional development prior to the start of school, teachers will work as a team, not only to push Morton’s students, but to drive their own continuous development as educators.
As a Morton teacher, you will:
- Have the opportunity to focus on standards, not on test prep
- Gain access to relevant and timely data to tailor instruction to student needs
- Work with a variety of educators and resources to incorporate both academic and social/emotional learning standards into your curriculum
- Be part of a supportive school family that is working hard together.
Morton School of Excellence is at the forefront of the new civil rights movement – the right of every student to receive the highest quality education, despite the challenges they may face in life. Everyone at Morton – educators, students, and families alike – will be challenged to become the best they can be in an environment that sets high expectations and values personal growth. If you are an exceptional teacher, focused on student achievement and committed to creating new futures for urban students, explore the possibilities and Morton. Be part of the solution.
