Background

About Jorge Valcarcel

I am a retired School Chief Academic Officer with a strong combination of both administrative and art-teaching experience, which includes 1 year as an acting Head of School, 3 years as a Chief Academic Officer, 4 years leading an Elementary Division, 1 year overseeing the operations of an early childhood and elementary school, 8 years leading a middle school and 5 years leading art museum education programs and teaching art. My background in teaching and overseeing all ages-from elementary school to adults-includes working with classroom teachers, docents, college education students, museum teachers, and interns. Some of my specialties are in creating diverse and inclusive learning and working environments, facilitating groups which produce innovative and doable results, and holding people to high standards while they feel supported. I'm known for being a strong collaborator, understanding, and being forward thinking based on evidence.
