Also "We look for Team and Family who embody the following values and characteristics:" that's more about values; could be under Requirements or maybe separate but we don't have a heading for values; we could include under Requirements or maybe under Qualifications? But we have no specific heading for values; we could incorporate into Requirements as a list? However the instruction: only include sections when posting has real specific content. Values could be part of Requirements or maybe under Qualifications? But we have separate Skills section. Values maybe part of Requirements? Might be better to include under Requirements as a list? But we need to decide.
The values list: "Believes and is committed to our mission and being an agent of change: that all students are capable of getting to and through college Has demonstrated effective outcomes and results, and wants to be held accountable for them Has a propensity for action, willing to make mistakes by doing in order to learn and improve quickly Works with urgency and purpose to drive student outcomes Thrives in an entrepreneurial, high-growth environment; is comfortable with ambiguity and change Seeks and responds well to feedback, which is shared often and freely across all levels of the organization Works through silos and forges strong cross-departmental relationships in order to achieve outcomes We believe in education as a profession and hold ourselves to high level of conduct, professionalism and behaviors as models for our colleagues and students"
