Faculty Profile (Teacher, Counselor and Librarian)
To be an effective educator at ASF, faculty members appreciate a relationship-driven approach to student learning, demonstrating genuine care for the safety and well-being of students both inside and outside the classroom. They must actively commit to the ASF Principles of Teaching and Learning, continuously growing their practice in these areas.
An ASF faculty's planning and instruction are inherently student-centered, and lessons are intentionally engaging, process-oriented, and aligned with established learning objectives. In an ongoing process of aligning our practices with our strategic priorities, teachers increasingly ensure learning is inquiry-driven by fostering curiosity and critical thinking, and that it is authentic through real-world application.
At ASF, our faculty members are dedicated professionals who foster a positive sense of community among their colleagues, students, and families, both in and out of the classroom. Our educators have advanced intercultural competency and show a genuine interest in connecting with Mexican culture. They communicate effectively with all members of our community, contributing to a supportive and peaceful educational environment. We seek educators who consistently refine their practice through ongoing reflection, observing and learning from and sharing with their colleagues. Above all, our teachers understand and promote the individual growth and healthy development of all students as unique individuals with diverse needs, talents, and lived experiences.
