As a Director of Operations (DOO), you would either be sustaining an existing Uncommon school, or potentially opening a new Uncommon school.  The Operations Fellowship provides a robust development process to prepare leaders to oversee the ongoing operations at a school in conjunction with the Principal and Uncommon Home Office. The Fellow (i.e., the eventual Director of Operations) will work very closely with the regional Associate Chief Operating Officer and the host Director of Operations. The Operations Fellow is a full-time employee, hired, supported, and evaluated by the regional Chief Operating Officer.  Essential Duties and Responsibilities The Fellowship year is based on a foundation of four core elements that are aligned to the competencies of Uncommon leaders. Each element is designed to build Fellows’ capacity towards becoming effective Directors of Operations. These include the following: Fellowship Deliverables and School Immersion Evaluation and Feedback; Operations Leadership Meetings; and Professional Development. Fellowship Deliverables and School Immersion During the fellowship, Fellows will be placed at an existing Uncommon school to observe and learn in the environment of a successful school. While in this residency, the Fellow will serve as a full-time member of the school’s operations team and will engage in operations work at their host school, Uncommon-wide Operations projects, and observations and analysis of Operational systems. In addition, Fellows will be responsible for completing a variety of pre-determined deliverables designed to provide active learning that creates an input or experience to shape the development of their leadership and schools. Evaluation and Feedback Throughout the fellowship year, Fellows will receive coaching and feedback from their Associate Chief Operating Officer in addition to the school leaders they are working closely with during their fellowships. Each Fellow will have an Individual Development Plan that identifies the specific areas of development around which their fellowship will be customized. Operations Leadership Meetings Fellows will join the current Operations leaders for periodic meetings to share and tackle current Operational challenges across Uncommon schools and to build their support network of current leaders. Professional Development Starting in the summer, Fellows will engage in professional development focusing on two main domains: Cultural Leadership and Management, and Operational Leadership.  Each professional development session will be led by our experienced group of Associate Chief Operating Officers, current leaders, Home Office teams, and a select group of external partners.

DESCRIPTION Overview Though 9 in 10 Latino young adults say a college degree is important for success in life, fewer than 15% age 25 or older hold a bachelor’s degree. Voices College-Bound Language Academies exist to change that. Founded in 2006 by East San Jose native and National Board Certified Teacher Frances Teso, Voices is a public charter school network with a mission to prepare all students for the challenges of higher education through the context of an academically rigorous dual-language program. With the Voices dual-immersion model, students receive 80% of instruction in Spanish and 20% in English starting in kindergarten. The percentages shift by 10% per year until reaching 50:50 in third grade. As a result, every student, regardless of home language, graduates bilingual and biliterate in English and Spanish. In 2019-20, Voices will operate four public charter schools: Voices-Franklin McKinley (K-8), Voices-Morgan Hill and Voices-Mt. Pleasant (both Transitional Kindergarten - 5th, growing to Transitional Kindergarten - 8th) and Voices West Contra Costa (Transitional Kindergarten- 3rd). As we expand to serve more traditionally underserved students in Santa Clara County and surrounding counties, Voices seeks additional team members who share a commitment to its mission and believe joyful learning and world-class academic preparation are not mutually exclusive. Voices Academies’ Vision All students graduating from Voices College-Bound Language Academies will possess the knowledge, skills and confidence to succeed in any career path they choose to pursue in life by mastering academic standards and subject matter. Students will be aware of the many positive possibilities for their future, and enjoy learning throughout their lives. They will be able to think critically by asking questions, especially when confronted with the status quo. Our students will have a sense of social responsibility to make their communities better.
