Part Time Position- Instructional Coach
The ideal candidate is a professional educator with experience in preschool or elementary education. The candidate has experience in coaching or leading teams toward academic excellence, providing engaging professional development sessions, reviewing and improving lesson planning and implementation, and the ability to problem solve. Our preferred candidate will focus on improving teachers-student relationships through positive practices instead of punitive measures and will focus on guiding teachers toward active learning strategies, engaging children through play-based learning. Additionally, the candidate must have an understanding of how to analyze student data and assist teachers in planning based on the results. Because we have teachers who only engage in Spanish or only in English, the candidate will have sufficient knowledge in both languages to be able to lead either group and will be prepared to adapt to the cultural and language needs of the teachers. Curriculum is written primarily in English; a strong ability to read and write in English is required. The candidate must be willing to learn the HighScope curriculum to ensure fidelity throughout the preschool.
The candidate must have access to a computer and the ability to work 20+ hours per week; the exact schedule is flexible, with a required weekly 3:00 - 4:00 pm Tuesday teacher training time. There are also occasional scheduled events outside of regular school hours. The candidate must be physically capable of modelling lessons with teachers which can include but is not limited to floor sitting, engaging in active outdoor play, kneeling, crawling, rolling, skipping, jumping, dancing, lying on the floor, standing, lifting non-walkers, bending at the waist, squatting, hugging, holding in lap, and sitting in small chairs. The position also requires a background clearance and other health/safety trainings as required by the State of Tennessee.
