Job Description

East Greenbush Central School District is seeking a leader committed to educational excellence.

Howard L. Goff Middle School is designed to meet and respond to the unique needs of early adolescents.  It is our purpose to structure the setting in which learning can take place in order to promote natural, social and cultural growth for a student.  Goff Middle School is organized into “Houses”.  Within the “House” structure there are three 6^th grade teams, three 7^th grade teams and two 8^th grade teams.  The Houses and Teams were implemented with the belief that each student’s total education experience would be best met with a “school within a school” structure.  Teams provide communities for learning where close, trusting relationships with adults and peers create a climate for personal growth and cognitive development.  The potential improvements realized within a team structure are flexible scheduling, team teaching and interdisciplinary instruction.
