Do people who know you refer to you as “The Connector” or some other type of network aficionado nickname?  Does your commitment to every child’s education drive you to do whatever needs to be done to ensure that education is of the quality they deserve?  Have you seen the difference effective and equitable management practices can make in how well teams can deliver results for the children they educate?  We’d like a word with you!

Team support – approximately 30% of your time Identify/develop internal systems that make the building and maintenance of relationships with external partners easier to scale. Steward strategic partnerships that help us accomplish our goals around impact and number of managers trained, including Acting as a liaison between external partners and the rest of the Ed Equity team. Delegating logistical aspects of partnerships (e.g. writing contracts, conducting intake calls, scheduling onsite trainings) to the relevant TMC team member Collaborating with the Administrative Team and the Ed Equity Sector Head to ensure everyone has the information they need to move forward Lead trainings for select clients; including the majority of trainings at education conferences TMC attends   If you were a member of the team this year, you would have been Networking with school and district leaders, hearing their needs, and recommending resources to them (TMC and others).
