Speech-Language Pathologist — Shape College-Ready Futures

About Collegiate Academies Collegiate Academies schools are at the forefront of the increase in New Orleans’ and Baton Rouge’ students attending college. We build world-class public schools that prepare all students for college success. We embrace meeting the needs of every student. For us, when we say "all" scholars, we mean Black and Brown scholars, scholars who come in 5 years below reading level, students who are ready for AP classes in the 9th grade, students who are overaged for their grade, students who have an IEP or 504 or BIP, the list goes on! Our mission is radical. Black and brown students too often hear that college isn't an option for them. We are proud that our high schools have the most growth in our cities for populations that historically see many obstacles to college acceptance. And we continue to inspire our scholars' college future while relentlessly removing barriers. As a result we celebrate yearly as we see our scholars matriculate into college and postsecondary options like Brown University, Tulane University, Opportunities Academy, and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with selective scholarships like from Posse Foundation, The Gates Scholarship, and TOPS. Our School Teams Each CA school collaborates to grow stronger in pursuit of being a world-class public school filled with adults who continually grow themselves while finding joy in the work of getting to do something radical in our incredible communities. As a result: You are surrounded by excellent teammates who want to help you grow with them . Our fastest growing teammates and leaders continually evaluate your choices against those of the strongest examples around them who achieve extraordinary results regularly. You get to work on a team instead of “in a silo” as you chase goals that support the growth happening in classrooms. We choose to build a shared school culture where 100% of scholars are thinking and all teammates contribute directly to that scholar culture, regardless of role. Our strongest teammates create opportunities to teach college ready habits to scholars daily, even from “office” roles. We’re a collaborative team who share the work of meeting the goals it takes to be college ready. We deliver and share intentional feedback to each other daily through in-person feedback, written feedback on major projects, and daily observations. And then share that data with the team to keep us all focused on college success . You’ll get to celebrate with scholars and teammates as they reach milestones in the classroom , on the field , on the streets during Mardi Gras , and professionally . The excellence we demand from kids and adults results in so much growth and so many achievements we get to enjoy together.
