"We're hiring why-sayers"
People who want to make things better, make things more fun, more clever. People who aren't afraid of the boss. People who aren't restricted by convention, but challenged by it. People who fit perfectly at SCVi, because it is the "why" that makes us successful.
--Adapted from employment ad for IKEA

TEACHERS FOR THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR
In order to be offered a full time teaching position at SCVi, teachers will need to go through one of our hiring bonanzas held in the months of Jan-June.
This is a full day, interactive job interview that involves multiple SCVi stakeholders. After an initial paper screening process, we will invite approximately 9 candidates to come to Bonanza day in Spring on approximately 4 different occasions. These candidates will be from a range of different content areas and possibly for other nearby partner schools.
The day will begin with with mingling with staff. Next, the candidates gather in a room for an orientation to the SCVi philosophy and culture. All candidates will teach a 45min -1 hour long class in an SCVi classroom appropriate to their content area. This can be what the students are already studying or something they are passionate about. After the lesson, students and current staff fill out feedback forms on the candidate.
In addition to teaching, the candidates spend time observing in the classrooms on a school tour. During the rotations, the candidates interview with groups of parents and students informally in the Village.
Toward the end of the day, candidates will gather in a classroom to design projects together with groups from the hiring bonanza and current staff. Since we value collaboration and adult learning, we want to see how well candidates can work with other adults. To culminate the day long interview process, teams will present their projects to the SCVi family.
Decisions for whom will be offered a position are generally made by July 1st.
SCVi shall be nonsectarian in its programs, admission policies, employment practices, and all other operations and shall not discriminate against any pupil or employee on the basis of their characteristics, whether actual, or perceived, as listed in Education Code section 220, including, but not necessarily limited to the following: disability, gender, nationality, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, association with a person or group with one or more of the above actual or perceived characteristics.
