Description
We are currently seeking several full-timeProject Directorsfor our Policy Team. We are seeking oneIndiana-based Project Director to lead the implementation of statewide strategy to increase teacher effectiveness by supporting the creation of a new teacher evaluation system and oneIllinois-based Project Director to lead the creation of a new teacher evaluation system in multiple districts. Each Project Director will be a TNTP employee based home offices in Indiana and Illinois, respectively, and require significant travel to districts and schools throughout the state.
We are also seeking flexible-location basedProject Directorsto develop and implement strategies to remove district and state-level barriers to staffing reform in our partner districts and states. These Project Directors will be TNTP employees and will work from our central office in Brooklyn, New York or from a home office anywhere in the U.S. and will require up to 35% travel to our partner district sites.
All of these positions are available immediately. These positions are at the same level of compensation and responsibility. We are asking candidates to express a preference between the specific roles because of the geographic constraint (and would like to know which candidates would prefer the Indiana-based position, Illinois-based position, or the flexible location positions). The roles are described in greater detail below.
Policy Team
TNTP has worked with urban school districts on their human capital challenges since its inception. From that experience, TNTP analyzed how a web of policy and process barriers prevented urban school districts from hiring the best new teacher applicants by delaying hiring until well into the summer and early fall. TNTP shared this research in its first national report titled,Missed Opportunities: How We Keep High-Quality Teachers Out of Urban Classrooms, which was published in 2003. TNTP published a second national report in 2005,Unintended Consequences: The Case for Reforming the Staffing Rules in Urban Teachers Union Contracts,which analyzed the impact of collectively-bargained teacher staffing rules on urban schools.
In November 2005, the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) used findings from TNTP’s research to help resolve a nearly two-year deadlock in contract negotiations with the city’s teachers union, resulting in a new contract that ushered in a “mutual consent” teacher placement system. TNTP examined the impact of these school staffing policy reforms on teachers and schools in its most recently published report,Mutual Benefits: New York City’s Shift to Mutual Consent in Teacher Hiring. Additionally, TNTP played an instrumental role in passage of state legislation in California requiring reform of teachers union collective bargaining agreements.
Most recently, TNTP has published a third national report,The Widget Effect: Our National Failure to Acknowledge and Act on Differences in Teacher Widget Effectdescribes how our public education system treats teachers as interchangeable parts, not individual professionals. Though it is widely accepted that a teacher’s effectiveness matters more than any other school factor in student success or failure, our school systems operate in a policy framework that assumes all teachers are the same. As a result, excellence goes unrecognized, development is neglected and poor performance goes unaddressed. Instructional effectiveness almost never factors into critical decisions such as which teachers are hired, developed or retained. This pervasive indifference to performance disrespects teachers and gambles with the lives of students. TNTP believes that until we make a teacher’s effectiveness matter, our schools will never be able to realize sustainable improvement or close the achievement gap that has long disadvantaged poor and minority students. (For the full reports, .)
Since the publication ofUnintended Consequences, TNTP has undertaken a multi-tiered district, state and national initiative to improve access to highly effective teachers. As part of this effort, TNTP is working to ensure that states and districts support – rather than undermine – teacher effectiveness at the local level. Our experience and research has suggested to us that too often well intended district practice, certain types of collective bargaining provisions, and state laws can erect considerable barriers to effectively staffing schools with effective teachers. Removing these barriers depends upon providing a fact-based, non-ideological case to leaders and lawmakers.
