WHAT YOU'LL DO

The School Operations Manager (SOM), plays a critical role in making summer training a "mountaintop" moment by largely managing the school site where corps members are completing their Practicum portion of Pre-Service. Additionally, they contribute to upholding systems that allow for seamless operations within their regional community and equip corps members with the information and resources they need to navigate their experience. During the Spring, SOMs will complete virtual training (both synchronous and asynchronous) to prepare for the role, which will begin at the start of the wave of Pre-Service that their respective region is following. SOMs will be managed by the Pre-Service Lead in the region they work with.

WHAT YOU'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

Spring Training

  • Assist with rostering and student lists at school site as needed
  • Support attendance tracking for supported CMs by collecting and submitting in-person attendance and supporting resolving CM attendance issues
  • Support CM communications, particularly during Practicum phase of Pre-Service, by supporting regional operations
  • Contribute to CM communications through in-person moments of Pre-Service, including monitoring Slack/communications channels, sending logistical reminders, and contributing to daily announcements
  • Support CM user experience in Pre-Service platforms and systems, assisting with operational and technical needs
  • Support in-person accommodations for CMs as needed
  • Support regional/cohort operations as needed
A WEEK IN THE LIFE

Over the course of any week, the Operations Manager will spend time:
  • Leading the in-person, on-the-ground operations at the school site
  • Partnering with a team of TFA and seasonal staff executing on Pre-Service
  • Supporting ongoing Pre-Service operational needs (attendance, communications, systems integrity) for their cohort of CMs and colleagues
  • Recognizing and interrupting the ways systemic oppression and white supremacy manifest in interpersonal and group interactions
  • A commitment to explicitly naming and interrupting racism and classism in all of its manifestations

YOUR FUTURE TEAM

Our Pre-Service training team will prepare teachers to provide students with a high-quality education, and to pursue a lifetime commitment to advancing educational equity and excellence. Learning will be focused on concepts that sit at the heart of our work, including culturally relevant pedagogy, anti-racist teacher leadership, universal design for learning, and social emotional learning. The team will also consist of Operations Specialists, School Directors, and Leadership Development Coaches.
