About this organization
Mission
The mission of ECSFMEIT - Professional Preparatory Charter School, is to prepare our students to become the future professionals (lawyers, doctors, scientists, entrepreneurs, etc.) who will lead our global society in the 21st Century. We will accomplish this by creating a curriculum that reaches students in multiple ways and creating a community that encourages and breeds academic achievement. Our faculty works closely with our students to identify strengths and weaknesses both academically and otherwise and develop plans to meet their needs.
About
REGULAR EDUCATION - ECSFMEIT was authorized to receive its charter in September 2009 by the New York City Department of Education. ECSFMEIT was issued its charter by the Board OF the Regents of New York State Education Department in January 2010.ECSFMEIT uses its innovative management structure called the Ember to operate its charter school, one that takes advantage of the unique strengths of the professional-partnership organizational model to maximize the acquisition, development and retention of top human capital to serve our students, achieve our mission and realize our vision. The Ember is a hybrid of the traditional nonprofit-charter school structure and the professional service firm (the management structure used by law firms, medical practices, investment banks, etc.): while like the traditional nonprofit in that the Board of Trustees maintains ultimate control and close supervision over the organization, the Trustees delegate the day to day management, leadership and operation of the school to a small group of its teacher-leaders (the Partners), who, like law firm partners who continue to practice law, will continue to teach fulltime and divide the school-wide level responsibilities among the group, each Partner taking on a distinct leadership/management role. The remaining classrooms in the school will be staffed with Associates (both Senior and Junior), who are teachers with anywhere from 0 to 5 years of teaching experience or equivalent. Like all top law firms, the expectation will be that every Associate is working towards becoming a Partner, a teacherleader who is ready to join in partnership with their colleagues to open and lead more schools. ECSFMEIT does not have one traditional Principalinstead the current four (4) Partners are the co-school leaders, delegated full authority over the school as a group (as a partnership); with the support of an Executive Officer and administrative staff to manage and operate the day to day business and operations of the school, the Partners will be able to focus on their twin responsibilities of teaching (students and Associates), and leading (serving as the strategic planners and decision makers for the enterprise). As a group, the Partners report directly to the Board of Trustees and are held accountable for the success of the charter school. ECSFMEIT began with three (3) Associates and three (3) Partners, where each Partner managed and supervised a specific set of enterprise level responsibilities (Business-Operations (Managing Partner), Instruction-Assessment-Data (Pedagogy Partner), and Special Education/ELLs/Special Family Matters (Stakeholder Services Partner)).DURING THE FISCAL YEAR END JUNE 30, 2017 ECSFMEIT ADDED A FOURTH "PARTNER."Ember Charter Schools is a merger between two innovative schools, Teaching Firms of American (K-6)and The Anew School (7-8), designed to foster and developer the untapped potential our students who are traditionally, and unfairly, labeled "at-risk". We believe that when given access to opportunity, any child can reach their potential, becoming a community leader today and well into the future.
