About The Position

Achievement Network (ANet) is a national nonprofit dedicated to helping all students achieve strong educational outcomes. We partner with school and district leaders to strengthen instruction, implement high-quality materials, and build systems that support great teaching for all students. People who join ANet become part of a mission-driven, equity-centered, and collaborative team. We believe deeply in fostering a working environment where the diverse identities, lived experiences, and perspectives of our staff are valued and affirmed. The Director of School Support (DSS) partners directly with school leaders to strengthen instructional systems, deepen the use of high-quality mathematics curricula, and build schoolwide capacity around standards-aligned instruction, data analysis, and teacher development. The DSS serves as a strategic thought partner to leaders, supporting change management, instructional coherence, and schoolwide improvement efforts. This role collaborates closely with peer coaches and cross-functional ANet teams to ensure aligned, comprehensive support across the School District of Philadelphia (SDP). This is a fixed-term W2 role, scoped intentionally at 20 hours per week. Hours may vary slightly based on partner needs, coaching cadence, and school schedules. Renewal of the role aligns with district renewals, scope of work, and organizational priorities. This role requires frequent, in-person coaching and leadership support across the School District of Philadelphia. The DSS should expect to be in schools 4–5 days per week during coaching cycles, with additional travel for internal meetings as needed.
