Seattle, United States Higher Ground Education Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

Higher Ground is bringing on a Regional Programs Support to join our regional support team. A high-quality authentic Montessori program is core to our success, so this is a critical role in our organization. The Regional Programs Support works alongside school leaders in achieving programmatic excellence by leveraging personal and in-house deep experience and knowledge of the Montessori pedagogy, helping to hire, train, and retain strong talent across our campuses, and supporting effective parent and staff communications. Each of these elements leads to full, thriving school communities.

We're scaling quickly and have over 115 schools with a current pace of growth of 50 new schools per year. We're looking for an individual who is both a big-picture thinker capable of surveying our vast landscape of school needs and a hands-on doer with the skills to quickly solve problems and scale practical, effective practices that help us have thriving and profitable schools. If you're excited about working in an entrepreneurial environment and building capacity in others to enable widespread change in education today, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

The Regional Programs Support will be a member of a small but mighty regional team supporting a portfolio of about a dozen schools. This team functions in a cross-functional manner including enabling school leaders and teams to own the holistic success of their school. Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

  • Build programmatic excellence in school teams. This individual will play a key part in supporting our school teams to have excellent Montessori programming. Utilizing both deep experience and knowledge of the Montessori pedagogy alongside data-rich metrics, this regional team member ensures that we hire, coach, support and retain excellent Montessori educators in our schools. Behind this individual is our in-house Montessori training institute that provides Montessori teacher certification for all team members within our network.

  • Hire, grow and retain excellent classroom teachers. A key part of this role will be securing, supporting, and retaining mission-driven talent. It's not enough to coach from afar, in our organization we jump in and do alongside others as they are building their capacity to do for themselves. You'll be coaching teachers and shaping Heads of School who are instructional leaders of their campus. As part of this work, you will model in classrooms with teachers and provide action oriented and practical feedback to improve program quality quickly. You will also build capacity in school leaders to observe and provide meaningful programmatic feedback and coaching as the leaders of their schools. This work will include a focus on a teacher interviewing, hiring, onboarding, and managing a solid and reliable Montessori substitute teacher pool in your region.

  • View Program Quality within the lens of a profitable and thriving school. Having a high-quality Montessori program is mission critical. We believe that when you have an excellent program, successful student outcomes, thriving enrollment and passionately engaged staff --profitability is the outcome. We are unapologetically a for-profit education organization; this is how we can carry out our mission to bring Montessori education far and wide. To this end, profitability of each school within a region is the responsibility of every regional support team member, including the Programs support. This role will work collaboratively with the Regional Manager, Regional Operations Lead, and Regional Community Lead to ensure a full portfolio of thriving, successful and profitable schools
