Promise Academy teachers are dedicated to the students, the school and their professions. Our faculty has teaching experience as well as a strong base of knowledge and skills. Collaboratively, the faculty creates an environment where learning is evident, all students are supported, and success is celebrated. As a general framework, teaching at Promise Academy will reflect the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS). These standards help define what quality teaching looks like and allows for a common language among the staff regarding our teaching program. Promise Academy subscribes to the core propositions of the NBPTS:

• Teachers are committed to students and their learning.
• Teachers know the subjects they teach and how to teach those subjects to students.
• Teachers are responsible for managing and monitoring student learning.
• Teachers think systematically about their practice and learn from experience.
• Teachers are members of learning communities.
