Partner - Policy Team (Flexible Location)

2009-12-21T22:40:14-06:00

Partner � Policy Team
Flexible Location

The New Teacher Project (TNTP) helps school districts and states fulfill the promise of public education by ensuring that all students�especially those from high-need communities�get excellent teachers. A national nonprofit organization founded by teachers, TNTP recognizes that although teachers matter more than any other school factor in student success, the nation�s education systems are not aligned with the goal of an effective teacher in every classroom. In response, TNTP develops customized programs and policy interventions that enable education leaders to diagnose their teacher quality challenges and find, develop and keep great teachers. Since its inception in 1997, TNTP has recruited or trained approximately 33,000 teachers�mainly through its highly selective Teaching Fellows� programs�benefiting an estimated 4.8 million students. TNTP has also released a series of acclaimed studies of the policies and practices that affect the quality of the nation�s teacher workforce, most recently including The Widget Effect: Our National Failure to Acknowledge and Act on Differences in Teacher Effectiveness (2009). Today TNTP is active in more than 25 cities, including Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, New Orleans, New York, and Oakland, among others. For more information, please visit www.tntp.org.

We are currently seeking two Partners to shape and lead our policy and strategy to remove state and district level barriers to ensure our partner districts and states attract and retain effective teachers. These positions report to the Vice President of Policy and will work from our central office in Brooklyn, New York or from a home office anywhere in the U.S. The Partner position requires significant travel to the project sites throughout the year, which could be as much as 30-40% of the time during the busiest months of the year. These positions are available immediately.

Policy Team

TNTP has worked with urban school districts on their human capital challenges since its inception. From that experience, TNTP analyzed how a web of policy and process barriers prevented urban school districts from hiring the best new teacher applicants by delaying hiring until well into the summer and early fall. TNTP shared this research in its first national report titled, Missed Opportunities: How We Keep High-Quality Teachers Out of Urban Classrooms, which was published in 2003. TNTP published a second national report in 2005, Unintended Consequences: The Case for Reforming the Staffing Rules in Urban Teachers Union Contracts, which analyzed the impact of collectively-bargained teacher staffing rules on urban schools.

In November 2005, the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) used findings from TNTP�s research to help resolve a nearly two-year deadlock in contract negotiations with the city�s teachers union, resulting in a new contract that ushered in a �mutual consent� teacher placement system. TNTP examined the impact of these school staffing policy reforms on teachers and schools in its most recently published report, Mutual Benefits: New York City�s Shift to Mutual Consent in Teacher Hiring. Additionally, TNTP played an instrumental role in passage of state legislation in California requiring reform of teachers union collective bargaining agreements.

Most recently, TNTP has published a third national report, The Widget Effect: Our National Failure to Acknowledge and Act on Differences in Teacher Effectiveness. The Widget Effect describes how our public education system treats teachers as interchangeable parts, not individual professionals. Though it is widely accepted that a teacher�s effectiveness matters more than any other school factor in student success or failure, our school systems operate in a policy framework that assumes all teachers are the same. As a result, excellence goes unrecognized, development is neglected and poor performance goes unaddressed. Instructional effectiveness almost never factors into critical decisions such as which teachers are hired, developed or retained. This pervasive indifference to performance disrespects teachers and gambles with the lives of students. TNTP believes that until we make a teacher�s effectiveness matter, our schools will never be able to realize sustainable improvement or close the achievement gap that has long disadvantaged poor and minority students. (For the full reports, see www.tntp.org.) Our work has been acknowledged by U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan and has influenced the administration�s new, ground-breaking reform programs, the Race to the Top Fund and Investing in Innovation Fund.

Since the publication of Unintended Consequences, TNTP has undertaken a multi-tiered district, state and national initiative to improve access to highly effective teachers. As part of this effort, TNTP is working to ensure that states and districts support � rather than undermine � teacher effectiveness at the local level. Our experience and research has suggested to us that too often well intended district practice, certain types of collective bargaining provisions, and state laws can erect considerable barriers to effectively staffing schools with effective teachers. Removing these barriers depends upon providing a fact-based, non-ideological case to leaders and lawmakers.

Role and Responsibilities

This position offers the successful candidate the opportunity to assume a national leadership role in teacher quality reform and to have a profound impact on the direction of TNTP�s policy endeavors. The Partner assumes primary responsibility for implementing multiple projects according to the best practices in this business line. The Partner is the staff member who is ultimately accountable for the successful delivery of services to the district and state clients.

Specific Partner responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Overseeing TNTP�s state and district-level work
� Securing commitments from state and district leaders to partner with TNTP on policy reform. District commitments will include financial support for TNTP, access to district data, permission to survey stakeholders, and commitment to expend political capital on behalf of reforms
� Managing high-level state and district relationships, often with superintendents
� Ensuring the exceptional quality of all client deliverables
� Leading at least 2-3 in-depth projects each year and managing teams of TNTP staff overseeing the projects. Work done by teams will include: analyzing state law and/or specific contractual language, gathering district-specific transactional data as well as survey and other qualitative data, and creating data-driven reports demonstrating the impact of state law or district-level barriers to effective school staffing and providing actionable recommendations
� Spearheading local strategies to build awareness of the barriers identified and to create political pressure for legislative and/or contractual reform. These strategies may include: identifying and engaging key community and business leaders, training and organizing parents to play a greater advocacy role, and engaging local media in describing the impact of the staffing rules on the state�s or district�s schools and students
� Advising states and districts on effective human capital strategies for hiring, developing, and retaining a teaching force that can improve student achievement and close the achievement gap
� Developing and expanding new revenue-generating offerings such as training sessions for school boards and district personnel and basic analyses of collective bargaining agreements

2. Hiring and managing staff
� Managing, developing, and evaluating staff who will execute deliverables for our state and district partnerships
� Ensuring that staff are positioned for success by, among other things: establishing clear roles and responsibilities, implementing a robust orientation program, conducting performance reviews, ensuring quality of staff work, setting deadlines for staff, assigning work and regulating staff workload, and providing opportunities for appropriate, meaningful staff development
� Building staff connection to and investment in the greater work of the business line and TNTP

3. Working with the business line management team to shape the growth and success of the business line
� Providing thought leadership on education policy issues
� Providing thought leadership on the future and direction of the business line
� Providing leadership in creating a strong sense of possibility within team and in developing team to attain those possibilities
� Helping to establish and reinforce team culture and values

4. Accountable for contributing to the success of TNTP
� Represent TNTP in a professional manner in all settings
� Proactively contribute to TNTP�s knowledge base
� Respond to the constantly changing environment and requirements of TNTP

Qualifications

We are seeking highly achievement-oriented leaders with a passion for our mission and the ability to inspire a strong sense of possibility in our state and district clients and partners.

A glimpse at Korea:
Korea is a unique mix of sophisticated commercial centers and impressive, traditional attractions. A history and culture that goes back nearly 5,000 years coexists side by side with Louis Vuitton and Starbucks. An eclectic mix of mountains and rivers, majestic palaces, and ultramodern skyscrapers highlight the country's unique horizon.

Also known as the "most wired" country in the world, Korea is famous for its Internet connectivity and the leadership role it plays in the IT industry. As the 10th largest economy in the world, anyone can find just about anything in Korea. For example, English books and movies are readily available along with a variety of Western foods from take-outs to family restaurants.

For the adventurer, Korea's proximity to other Asian countries makes it an excellent hub for travel. Trips to Thailand, China, and Japan are the most common. Traveling within Korea is made easy by the clean, modern, and inexpensive public transportation system.

Why China?
The chance to experience 5,000 years of history while developing your career and skills in �The Middle Kingdom�, as the Chinese call their country, is an opportunity of a lifetime. You can explore one of the world�s most ancient civilizations and engage in the local culture as a welcomed insider (and get paid to do it). China has a thousand faces; from the Great Wall and serene deserts to urban centres bustling with bullet trains.

The most recent host of the summer Olympics, Beijing has sprouted new athletic facilities, hotels and restaurants that rival any in the world. An adventure awaits you down every city street and across the dynamic terrain that has something for every outdoor enthusiast. The Chinese are an amazing friendly people, who will no doubt welcome you with open arms.

2009-12-15T10:50:29-06:00

We are looking for a pre-school teacher for our 3-year-old daughter Thursday mornings (9-12). We are looking for someone who has a background or interest(!) in early childhood education and will come to our home with a specific (although flexible) age- and skill-appropriate educational plan of activities. Ideally (although not necessarily), you are currently a student in an education program and would like to get hands-on experience in a controlled and well-resourced environment while you're going to school. It would be your responsibility to research appropriate lessons and activities and advise us each week what materials you need for the following week. We want a candidate who is ready to integrate traditional educational objectives with creative and truly dynamic activities. We believe strongly in exposing our daughter to the diversity of ideas and people and promoting the necessity of generosity and care toward every living being.

We already have one homeschool teacher who teaches on Wednesday mornings (and brings her guitar and tamborine!). Also, we have a babysitter during other days that will be able to reinforce the concepts and ideas that you introduce on Thursdays. We are strongly leaning towards homeschooling our daughter through the elementary years, and we are beginning the process of establishing a school day and structure, as well as introducing the concept of teachers as mentors and facilitators of learning.

We live in around North and Ashland (Bucktown/Wicker Park), and both my husband and I work from home. We are able to provide necessary materials for the day's lessons and prepare our daughter mentally and physically for the day's activities. Our daughter enjoys music, keeping things organized, and keeping a tight reign over her sphere of influence :)

The position would start as soon as possible. If this position is of interest to you and fits your schedule, please send me an email telling me about yourself and your experience teaching (both formal and informal). The position will start as early as January 7, or whenever a fantastic candidate is found.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks,

Just to reiterate: Our goal is to send quality teachers to quality schools, period. If you want to work with an American recruiter who has lived, taught and placed teachers in Korea for over ten years, and who will continue working for you after you arrive in Korea, then www.teachenglishinkorea.org ��would love the opportunity to work with you. Unlike other recruiters, we at T.E.I.K. pride ourselves on helping build our teachers social network by introducing new teachers to our current teachers that are living in Korea to help build a sense of community and to help our teachers smoothly transition in to a new country, culture and adventure. Most recruiters are Korean, Korean schools or Korean owned agencies and they care mostly about the school, T.E.I.K. on the other hand is teacher centric, where your needs come first. Other recruitment agencies believe that their job is finished the minute you arrive in Korea, but we at T.E.I.K. believe that our job is only half finished and we keep in contact throughout your entire placement. Check out our testimonials pages and feel confident that you will be working with a company who you can understand and more importantly, who can understand you.

If you are not 100% certain that you feel that you would be a great candidate to teach English in Korea, then don't waste both of our time because I only want to work with caring and honest individuals who have an adventurous spirit, love to travel, meet new people and who love teaching children. I hope that you choose to go to Korea through us and have an amazing experience like I did, you won�t regret it if you decide to go. I paid off $25,000 in student loans in my first 15 months in Korea and the average teacher saves $12,000-$20,000 per year. I was also able to meet new lifelong international friends, learn about an ancient culture, travel to several exotic neighboring countries and have fun doing it!

Greetings Brad from sunny Seoul!! Things are going great at my hagwon in Suyu, northern Seoul. The transition has been rather mild and I suppose I'm still waiting for culture shock to sink in...Another teacher at my school has been here several months and never experienced a hard culture shock. I feel I am in the same boat. Classes keep me busy each evening and I find the workload challenging but not too stressful. Teaching requires a great deal of patience and an awful lot of spontaneity. My students keep me on my toes and I enjoy their youthfulness, innocence, and dedication. In Korea I feel very peaceful and relaxed even in the Mecca of its biggest city. There is plenty to see and many new experiences to appreciate and ponder. I would like to thank you for your hours of research and dedication to this exciting adventure. I feel I owe you a great deal for your participation. Thank you for your enthusiasm and ability to 'sniff out' solid hagwons and cheers for processing my visa so quickly for me. May you be blessed with many other happy teachers!! Sincerely, Heidi Kaiser Suyu, Northern Seoul

Hey Brad, Thank you for placing Matt and I at such an amazing school. We are extremely happy here. They provide full curriculum and all we have to do is decide how we would like to teach it. Also, our school is very flexible and allows us to alter their curriculum at anytime, if we wish to do so. The class sizes are the best part - I have 7 students in the morning and 6 in the afternoon. It makes teaching and building a relationship with the students very easy. We are very pleased with our living arrangements. We have a two bedroom with a full kitchen, living room, bathroom, and laundry room. It is so nice to have a place to go to every night that really feels like home. Our school purchased everything in our apartment right from our washing machine, to kitchen utensils and an air conditioner. We couldn't ask for anything more. We have met a lot of cool friends and are taking in the culture to the fullest extent. We make taboo actions and comments daily but it�s all a part of the experience. It was so nice to have dinner and drinks with you last month. If you come to Korea again in October be sure to let us know so we can do it all over again. Also, have we told you how nice it is to still have you as a support system? We were discussing how we can contact you about anything and how you reply immediately. We have friends who haven't spoke to their recruiter since they boarded the plane, not cool. Talk to you soon, Brittany Bialis :), Seoul, Korea, Gyeonggido

Hey Brad, I know it's been awhile since I've contacted you. I can't believe seven months have passed so quickly. It's been a wild ride. There have been several ups and a few downs, but all have been great learning lessons. My daughter Madison has enjoyed the experience as well. The language has been more difficult to learn than expected, but part of the problem has been that we have kept so busy with home-schooling, traveling to Thailand and China, and all over Korea, volunteering at an orphanage, and working on TEFL certification. Loved the work you did for me and my daughter in obtaining my first contract and in helping to sort out a few problems with my school and apartment. The kids are really amazing and I love working with them. I've enjoyed the area I've been living in, but would like to try another area and I look forward to working with you again to find my next position. Thanks much, Samantha Jenkins, Bucheon City, Gyeonggido

TO MANY JOBS TO LIST-visit www.teachenglishinkorea.org

Hi Brad! How are you? I hope all is well. My first month in Cheongju was great. I really enjoy my job and my co-workers and friends have treated me extremely well. Working with the children has been both pleasant and personally rewarding, and I feel very fortunate to have been placed in one of the best family-operated franchise locations in the area. My apartment is superb and the relationship with my new Korean family is wonderful (They have already taken me on several amazing trips. I am excited at the many unique opportunities I will have in the coming months to explore the country, as it is beautiful and rich with culture and history). Certainly, my time here thus far has been special, and in large part due to your help. I was impressed by the extraordinary effort you displayed to secure for me a position under the most desirable and convenient of circumstances, and I am truly thankful for your steadfast assistance throughout the entire visa process. Your professionalism reflects well upon your program, and I would recommend your excellent service to anyone. Thanks for helping to make this possible! Take care, Kyle Flemming Cheongju

Yeah man! I tried to email you from a pc bong, and it just did not go through. This damn APT and this public school are the best things I have seen in Korea! Thank you very much; it was well worth the wait! Excellent co-teacher, and my APT is like a mansion compared to what I lived in last year. I still do not have a TV, or phone yet though, but will have them soon. Just had my physical today and it was all good. Things here are very different than I was used to from the year before and I can tell you, they are WAY BETTER! Thanks again! Danny Haught, Incheon

Onyeo Brad! How are you doing over there in chilly chicago? Its getting chilly here in Wondang! Brrrr. Thank GOD for heated floors! :) Due to our mold problem at our apartment we stayed at our director's home last night. Funny story about our after dinner snack: Ricky stopped and picked up some pig legs (jokbal) and fried octopus balls to eat on arriving home with his wife and kids! hehe...such a treat. Actually the fried doughy balls of octopus were amazingly good....can�t say the same about the pig's fatty legs! hehe. They were an interesting taste! Anyways, I just wanted to email you with photos from a few of the latest events at school and to let you know everything is going well: Halloween and November Birthdays. I should send you some pics from our Thanksgiving party as the kids with Indian feathers and face paint is pretty funny. Thanks Brad! Tata for now. Enjoy the pics & Keep warm! Elizabeth Greener Ilsan, Korea

A few months ago my wife and I were in search of jobs. Our search brought us thankfully to an online post saying "Teach English in Korea." These words sparked our interest and we both applied. In a matter of 24 hours we both received emails from Brad Brennan who so warmly invited us to interview with him at a Chicago Starbucks. From the beginning, Brad was a wonderful person to work with. Our first meeting was filled with conversation about Brad's exciting and wonderful 7 years in South Korea, as well as many questions and answers. His excitement was so contagious. Nolan and I left our rendezvous enthused and ready to apply. Once we accepted, Brad helped us with the visa process and to get everything filled out and thoroughly organized. He gave us websites, reminders, and even sent out documents to the right people in far off Asia. Now Elizabeth and I are teaching little kindergarteners and Elementary students English at Michigan Campus in Seoul, S. Korea. We have a cute 2 bedroom apartment only a 10 minute walk away from our school and are enjoying our time here. If you have any questions or want some more info, feel free to email us : Elizabeth & Nolan Hunt

Hey Brad, Sorry to take so long writing. Everything has been great here. All of the staff and faculty at my school here in Ansan have done an incredible job of making feel welcome and like a part of their family. I couldn't have asked for a better school. The students here are also great. They make me feel like I am a local celebrity. I am absolutely loving my time here. After only two months, I am quite sure I will sign on again for a second year with this school. To anyone else who is reading this and trying to decide who to use as a recruiter, I highly recommend using Brad's service. I've talked to many other foreign language teachers since I have been here, and almost all of them are envious of my placement with this school. Thanks again Brad for doing such a great job. Sincerely, Andrew Brasswell Ulsan, S. Korea

Hey Brad? I really appreciate you staying in contact with Alysia and I after we arrived here in Korea. Everything here is going well and we're having a wonderful time. The school is great, my director is amazing, and the location is good. We're just outside of Seoul and everything is a short subway ribe or bus ride away. Attached are some pictures for you to use on your testimonials page on your website. Thanks again for your help and please keep in touch. Becca Geyerman Seoul, Gyeonggido

Hey Brad! All is fantastic in Seoul. I am situated at an iSponge Kindergarten school on the East side of Seoul just below the Han river. Teaching young children is a delight and quite rewarding. While there can be challenges at times, it is generally a wonderfully fun experience and all part of the adventure. I teach three classes over the course of a typical work day. The environment and organization of my school is great! The school design resembles something out of Disney World or Alice in Wonderland and it is the perfect environment for small children. Additionally, my school is newly constructed so everything is neat and clean. Resources and materials are also fantastic which makes teaching that much easier to conduct. The curriculum from iSponge is awesome and lessons are detailed and well laid out. Generally work days are fluid and relatively low stress. I am so happy where I teach! Seoul itself is an amazing place to be. The city seems to have a pulse all its own with an energy and life that is easy to identify with. People are friendly and there is never a shortage of things to see and do. Admittedly the food was hard for me to get used to initially, I have now found my footing and have several local restaurants I'm accustomed to visiting often. One of my greatest surprises was how clean the city actually is and especially the subway. The subway is simply an engineering marvel and is one of my favorite aspects of Seoul. The city is great and there is always something going on. New York may be the city that never sleeps but Seoul is the city that never stops. I would like to thank you for your dedicated services to get me to this country. I was thoroughly impressed with your hard work, dedication and approachability. I've heard many troubling statements about the process to get here and it was comforting to know I was in good hands with your services. I would recommend you to anyone interested in teaching in Korea. Thanks again for all your hard work! Matt Sarvos, Seoul, Gyeonggido

Policy Analyst and Data Analyst � Policy Team (Flexible location)

2009-12-13T22:56:15-06:00

Policy Analyst � Policy Team
Data Analyst � Policy Team
Flexible location

The New Teacher Project (TNTP) helps school districts and states fulfill the promise of public education by ensuring that all students�especially those from high-need communities�get excellent teachers. A national nonprofit organization founded by teachers, TNTP recognizes that although teachers matter more than any other school factor in student success, the nation�s education systems are not aligned with the goal of an effective teacher in every classroom. In response, TNTP develops customized programs and policy interventions that enable education leaders to diagnose their teacher quality challenges and find, develop and keep great teachers. Since its inception in 1997, TNTP has recruited or trained approximately 33,000 teachers�mainly through its highly selective Teaching Fellows� programs�benefiting an estimated 4.8 million students. TNTP has also released a series of acclaimed studies of the policies and practices that affect the quality of the nation�s teacher workforce, most recently including The Widget Effect: Our National Failure to Acknowledge and Act on Differences in Teacher Effectiveness (2009). Today TNTP is active in more than 25 cities, including Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, New Orleans, New York, and Oakland, among others. For more information, please visit www.tntp.org.

We are currently seeking a Policy Analyst and a Data Analyst to join our Policy team. Both positions report to Policy Project Directors and the Senior Site Advisor and will work from our central office in Brooklyn, New York or from a home office anywhere in the U.S. and will require up to 10-15% travel. These positions are available immediately.

Both of these positions are at the same level of compensation and responsibility. We are asking candidates to express a preference between the two specific roles, which are described in greater detail below. Please note, that we will consider the preferences, but will ultimately assess which role is the best fit for candidates based on their skills and experience.

Policy Team

TNTP has worked with urban school districts on their human capital challenges since its inception. From that experience, TNTP analyzed how a web of policy and process barriers prevented urban school districts from hiring the best new teacher applicants by delaying hiring until well into the summer and early fall. TNTP shared this research in its first national report titled, Missed Opportunities: How We Keep High-Quality Teachers Out of Urban Classrooms, which was published in 2003. TNTP published a second national report in 2005, Unintended Consequences: The Case for Reforming the Staffing Rules in Urban Teachers Union Contracts, which analyzed the impact of collectively-bargained teacher staffing rules on urban schools.

In November 2005, the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) used findings from TNTP�s research to help resolve a nearly two-year deadlock in contract negotiations with the city�s teachers union, resulting in a new contract that ushered in a �mutual consent� teacher placement system. TNTP examined the impact of these school staffing policy reforms on teachers and schools in its most recently published report, Mutual Benefits: New York City�s Shift to Mutual Consent in Teacher Hiring. Additionally, TNTP played an instrumental role in passage of state legislation in California requiring reform of teachers union collective bargaining agreements.

Most recently, TNTP has published a third national report, The Widget Effect: Our National Failure to Acknowledge and Act on Differences in Teacher Effectiveness. The Widget Effect describes how our public education system treats teachers as interchangeable parts, not individual professionals. Though it is widely accepted that a teacher�s effectiveness matters more than any other school factor in student success or failure, our school systems operate in a policy framework that assumes all teachers are the same. As a result, excellence goes unrecognized, development is neglected and poor performance goes unaddressed. Instructional effectiveness almost never factors into critical decisions such as which teachers are hired, developed or retained. This pervasive indifference to performance disrespects teachers and gambles with the lives of students. TNTP believes that until we make a teacher�s effectiveness matter, our schools will never be able to realize sustainable improvement or close the achievement gap that has long disadvantaged poor and minority students. (For the full reports, see www.tntp.org.) Our work has been acknowledged by U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan and has influenced the administration�s new, ground-breaking reform programs, the Race to the Top Fund and Investing in Innovation Fund.

Since the publication of Unintended Consequences, TNTP has undertaken a multi-tiered district, state and national initiative to improve access to highly effective teachers. As part of this effort, TNTP is working to ensure that states and districts support � rather than undermine � teacher effectiveness at the local level. Our experience and research has suggested to us that too often well intended district practice, certain types of collective bargaining provisions, and state laws can erect considerable barriers to effectively staffing schools with effective teachers. Removing these barriers depends upon providing a fact-based, non-ideological case to leaders and lawmakers.
