Friendship Public Charter Schools, one of the nation's most innovative and effective charter school systems, is looking for Instructional Performance Coaches at their DC campuses. The Summary Description of the Position(s) are as follows:
The Instructional Performance Coach is
a critical lever in improving student achievement. The role of the coach is to
improve student achievement by building teachers capacity and understanding of
instructional practices. The coach, in conjunction with the administration, is
responsible for ensuring high-quality instruction in classrooms through modeling, coplanning,
co-teaching and providing feedback to teachers. Coaches are expected
to support the instructional development of all teachers, which means they are
generalists who will work with teachers in a variety of subject areas. While
coaches may bring a particular subject-area expertise, their focus is on improving
instructional quality across all subject areas. Coaches will create a schedule with
their administration listing the teachers they work with on a rotational basis.
Coaches will work with high will teachers in ensuring that they meet their
Performance Management targets. Coaches will be required to build curriculum
and support teachers in understanding the curriculum and writing it. They must
have working knowledge of Understanding by Design, standards based learning
and data analysis. Coaches should come with the ability to build strong
relationships with teachers, administrator and other coaches. It is essential that all
coaches work collaboratively and as a team. Coaches will be evaluated jointly by
principals and the Instructional Performance Supervisor. Coaches will set
Performance Management goals 3 times per year and be evaluated on reaching
those goals. Evaluations will also reflect teachers that the coach supports reaching
their Performance Management goals as well as the school reaching AYP.
