Use your strategic thinking, relationship building and communication skills to end educational inequality! TNTP seeks a part-time Director to support projects across our Community Engagement and Policy teams. This part-time, salaried position generally requires about 35 hours per week and may be based in a home office anywhere in the U.S. or from the TNTP central office in New York, NY. This position is available immediately and frequent travel is required.     Who We Are TNTP is a national nonprofit founded by teachers that believes our nation’s public schools can offer all children an excellent education. Today we’re a diverse team from a wide range of fields, united by a fierce commitment to helping school systems end educational inequality and achieve their goals for students. We work at every level of the public education system to attract and train talented teachers and school leaders, ensure rigorous and engaging classrooms, and create environments that prioritize great teaching and accelerate student learning.  TNTP’s Community Engagement team partners with school districts and charter schools to create structures and practices that fully utilize the ideas, energy, and resources of the entire community and enable districts and communities to work toward the shared goal of improved educational experiences and increased life outcomes for all students. These structures support and shape teacher training and development, leadership at the school and district level, human capital, and turnaround services.   Our organization is united around a commitment to advancing a core set of policy priorities including:  Provide equitable access to an effective, diverse workforce. All children benefit from having diverse teachers and leaders and these benefits are particularly significant for children of color.  Reduce or remove structural, financial, and other barriers to entering and staying in the teaching procession (including state certification requirements, cost of teacher preparation, and testing that is not predictive of impact.) Expand student, family, and community agency and input. Lasting change is only possible if families and communities are deeply involved in their schools.  Amplify the voices of students and families in setting the policy agenda.  Ensure access to clear and accurate information about student performance and outcomes.  Promote policies that focus on the student experience as a critical factor in assessing the performance of teachers, schools and systems.  And our vision for a supportive environment that authentically engages school communities rests on four pillars: Intentional Culture & Diversity - An intentional culture is one that is purposefully reflective of the community’s demographics and perspectives. This will require districts to create a culture of inclusivity where all voices are heard. Supportive Environments - A supportive environment is one where school system leaders prioritize authentic engagement through actions like training all educators in foundational communication skills (e.g. cultural competency) to ensure they are well equipped to create a positive home to school relationship with families and a positive classroom/school environment for all stakeholders. Effective 360 Communication - Effective communication occurs when all stakeholders feel safe and empowered to receive and provide information to one another. School system leaders foster effective communication through transparency and creating opportunity for community members to share their perspectives. Community members buttress the communication by exercising the opportunities to both listen and be heard. Shared Vision & Accountability - A community must share a common goal for sustainable changes to education that create an environment for students to thrive academically. And, the community members must hold one another accountable for that goal. Without a shared vision, there is no common space for a community to engage authentically and productively. What You’ll Do As a Director, you will work collaboratively within the Community Engagement and Policy teams serving in a cross-functional role, leading a variety of contracts with support from the designated Partner. The team will benefit from your strong communication skills in enhancing, codifying and promoting current services as well as in contributing to the development of new and innovative future projects. As a Director with a strength in communications, you’ll also lead efforts on proposals for conferences and grants and contribute to external communications that showcase our work.
