About The Position

A multi-classroom leader (MCL) is an instructional leadership role within MNPS. An MCL leads a team of teachers, tutors, and other adults to meet students' academic goals. The MCL establishes each team member's goals at least annually; organizes instructional planning and teaching and support roles to fit each team member's strengths, content knowledge, and professional development goals; determines learning outcome benchmarks; and determines how students spend time. The MCL provides direct instruction to students, sometimes by co-teaching with team members. The MCL organizes the team to review student progress and changes instructional strategies to ensure high-progress learning for every child. The MCL works collaboratively with the team, using new ideas and innovations that may improve learning. The MCL is fully accountable for the learning and development of all students taught by team members. The MCL works with the principal to choose, evaluates, and develop the team, and recommends low performers for dismissal when necessary. A multi-classroom leader may be referred to by a different title depending on the school site; however, the job description and responsibilities will be similar across all MNPS schools.
