Requirements

• At least three years of teaching experience
• Prior experience developing and coaching teachers
• Proven track record of building trusting relationships with other adults
• Ability to track and analyze data on teacher and student performance to uncover trends and act strategically and effectively to improve results
• A commitment to constant learning and improvement in both your own work and the work of others. You thrive on feedback and implement it quickly to continually improve your practice
• Have classroom experience. You have at least three years of teaching experience, elementary preferred and have a proven track record of raising student achievement.
• Believe that students’ and families’ cultural, linguistic, and holistic identities are an asset in the educational experience. You honor and attend to these identities in your practice, and students are empowered and affirmed.
• You believe in the abilities of multilingual learners (MLs) and students receiving special education services and advocate for them.
• Understand quality curriculum and instruction. You have strong familiarity and expertise with the Common Core State Standards and have experience working with and coaching others using Tier 1 curriculum (highly preferred).
• Know great teaching when you see it. Whether you are watching a teacher deliver a lesson or looking at student performance data, you can identify where that teacher is effective and what s/he needs to do to improve immediately and in the long term.
• Develop teachers. You track and analyze teacher data, but it’s what you do with it that really has an impact. Based on your data analysis and what you see in the classroom, you identify new approaches to improve teacher performance under a quick timeline.
• Have stage presence. We’re counting on your strong facilitation skills and ability to expertly lead new teacher professional development.
• Be comfortable with the unknown. Ambiguity doesn’t scare you; just the opposite, you thrive on it. You are flexible and comfortable adapting your work to maximize your impact on students, first year teachers you coach and your team.
• Build meaningful relationships. You look for opportunities to connect with others to find out what really makes them tick and use those relationships as a strong foundation in your shared work, whether with a teacher, your teammates, or school and system leaders.
• Embrace cross-cultural agility. Authentic self-reflection, self-awareness, and high emotional intelligence are central to who you are, and you utilize these skills to contribute to a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. You have an adept cultural understanding of yourself and use your understanding of yourself and others to build trusting relationships with colleagues and stakeholders.
