What are the responsibilities and job description for the Instructional Coach (Innovation and Transformation) position at Educate LLC?
Educate partners with teachers, school leaders and school communities to transform learning. Leveraging our experience in education, we collaborate with Pre-K-12 schools to provide customized coaching to ensure schools are vibrant centers of innovation and learning. Many schools are still built on old philosophies and structures that often perpetuate systemic oppression which results in children, especially those in marginalized communities, not experiencing a high quality education where learning feels meaningful and relevant. It is because of this that Educate’s mission is to give students and teachers the meaningful and relevant learning experiences they deserve. We inspire school communities to innovate instruction and harness leading-edge technology while nurturing students to be future-ready. Together, we will promote access and equity for all students, deepen their critical-thinking skills, and unleash the love of learning.
We are looking for highly engaged professionals who:
- Value supporting others in their professional growth through transformational coaching practices.
- Share a deep connection to our mission and vision.
- Understand the challenges of teaching and demonstrate an awareness of best practices in the classroom
- Promote purposeful integration of technology to enhance the learning experience in the classroom
- Have a growth mindset and believe in partnering with schools to promote growth mindset within its community
- Collaborate well with others digitally and in-person
- Are self-starters that plan ahead, based on established goals and procedures
- Please note this is not a remote role. You must have the ability to travel to school buildings across all boroughs- preference to applicants who can travel to Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island.
We pride ourselves on being a close-knit, collaborative community of people who truly care about one another. Our coaches frequently meet virtually and in-person to engage in rich conversations to better their practice and the company as a whole. Educate also provides multiple opportunities for its employees to shine as part of their coaching, including coordinating professional development events, storytelling (blogging, videoing, social media), client management, and much more. People contribute their ideas, creativity in many ways and feel heard by all.
