What to Expect when you Apply to an NHA School
Published: Jun 24, 2021
I’m a Talent Acquisition Consultant at National Heritage Academies (NHA), a Michigan-based charter school management company that operates 98 schools in nine states, serving over 60,000 students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
Applying to a new job can be a stressful time for many people, so I want to walk you through what you should expect when you apply for a teaching position at NHA.
First, you may wonder what a charter school is – great question! A charter school is a tuition-free public school that offers parents a choice. At NHA, we are a network of charter schools that operate under the management of a single organization.
Here are some things to know when you apply for a teaching position at NHA:
Employees have weekly one-on-one meetings with their leaders, which is a time for you to get support. This is especially helpful for first-year teachers because it strengthens their support system. A strong support system can make all the difference. These meetings help build confidence as a new teacher and helps you play to strengths and also grow in areas you want to develop.
We have many professional development opportunities, and even ones to help you grow into leadership if that is something you’re interested in. For example, Dean Prep Academy is a program that helps teachers learn more about and prepare to be a dean. Then there is Principal Prep Academy for high-performing deans who may be interested in becoming a principal.
