Star Search is a full-day, interactive job interview involving multiple stakeholders (facilitators, board members, administration, learners, and parents/guardians)
During the Star Search, the candidate goes through a half-day process that includes teaching a lesson, learning more about Colorado SKIES Academy’s vision and philosophy, and being interviewed by a panel consisting of facilitators, learners, and parents/guardians. We ensure staff members are qualified based on background, training, and preparation. All facilitators are required to participate in a state-approved teacher preparation program. Sometimes, potential employees substitute in our schools to gain exposure to teaching in a project-based environment.
We strive to ensure a candidate’s educational philosophy and skills align with our instructional approach and mission. The Star Search process allows us to find the best fit for our learners and the CSA community.
