Dean of Curriculum & Instruction/Instructional Coach

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills?, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections with real content. The posting includes: About The Role (description), then "Your Impact" with many bullet-like paragraphs (but not bullet list). There's also "Qualifications" section. There's "Starting Salary: $74 - $120k, commensurate with experience." That's pay info. There's no explicit Benefits or Schedule. There's no explicit Skills section separate from qualifications. There's no explicit Benefits. So we should include sections: About the role (maybe we can treat as About The Role), Responsibilities (the "Your Impact" part), Qualifications (the Qualifications section), Pay (starting salary). Possibly also Requirements? The qualifications includes requirements; but we have a Qualifications section already. Could also have Requirements separate but we can combine. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include only those with real content. So we will have:

About the role

... (the paragraph after About The Role)

Responsibilities

• ... each bullet? The "Your Impact" contains many sentences; we can split into list items. Need to preserve all substantive information; we can convert each sentence or clause into
• . Must not invent. We'll need to parse the "Your Impact" section. Let's extract the "Your Impact" paragraph text: "Drive Excellent Teaching Practices Drive excellent teaching for all learners in Excel classrooms; Observe classes regularly and give written and verbal feedback to teachers. Provide feedback on teachers’ classroom procedures, instruction, and curriculum; Ensure frequent points of contact with all direct reports. Develop structures to ensure presence in all classrooms weekly at a minimum. Meet with all direct reports bi-weekly at a minimum, sending agendas in advance and supporting teachers to develop agendas to maximize the utility of meetings; Target support toward individual teacher needs; Ensure that Excel classes are engaging, challenging, and accessible to all learners.

We need to break into list items. Could group by semicolons? But better to split each sentence (ending with period). However many sentences are long with semicolons. We'll just create list items for each major bullet-like clause separated by semicolons or periods. Ensure we don't lose info. Simplify: We'll create
  with each sentence as
  • . We'll split by period followed by space. But some abbreviations like "Excel’s" okay. We'll just manually craft list items based on the logical sections: Drive Excellent Teaching Practices, Ensure All Students Achieve, Create a Positive Student Culture..., Drive the Professional Culture..., Support the Head of School..., Serve as a productive member... We can break into those high-level sections each as
  • with sub-detail maybe as nested
    . But instruction: use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists. Safer to keep flat list items each representing a duty. We'll produce list items: - Drive excellent teaching for all learners in Excel classrooms; observe classes regularly and give written and verbal feedback to teachers. - Provide feedback on teachers’ classroom procedures, instruction, and curriculum. - Ensure frequent points of contact with all direct reports. - Develop structures to ensure presence in all classrooms weekly at a minimum. - Meet with all direct reports bi-weekly at a minimum, sending agendas in advance and supporting teachers to develop agendas to maximize the utility of meetings. - Target support toward individual teacher needs. - Ensure that Excel classes are engaging, challenging, and accessible to all learners. - Ensure that students master basic skills and higher-level abstract material and are continually cognitively engaged. - Ensure that teachers provide meaningful accommodations to students with individual needs. - Drive excellent curriculum development; ensure that Excel Academy curriculum is aligned with MA Curriculum Frameworks and is rigorous enough to ensure fulfillment of school mission. - Work with the Network Department heads and Head of School to ensure that the school’s mission and philosophy are reflected in instructional approach and curriculum. - Drive purposeful use of assessment data and feedback; help teachers develop and implement high quality, class and school-wide assessments and monitor and guide the type, variety and quality of student assessments. - Collect, analyze, share and interpret internal and external school assessments and coach teachers so that data is used strategically to improve student academic performance. - Manage student standardized testing. - In collaboration with the Head of School and Dean of Student Supports, support the planning, execution and analysis of intervention programs targeted at needs of diverse academic subgroups, whether remedial or enrichment. - Support the Dean of Student Supports and Head of School in monitoring the special education and ELL inclusion program, working with the Learning Specialist, ELL Specialist and core academic teachers to design inclusion, monitor the effectiveness of inclusion, and provide feedback and support to create a high quality inclusion program. - Coach teachers to create a classroom that reflects Excel’s Student Culture Vision where our community values are embedded into the curriculum in instructional classes. - Provide feedback to teachers on their execution of Excel’s Student Culture Vision and behavior management systems in the classroom. - Guide teachers in creating opportunities for students to reflect on and demonstrate our community values within academic classes. - Work with the Dean of Students to enforce the code of conduct by having a strong, public presence throughout the school day. - Collaborate with the Head of School and Dean of Students to plan proactive culture initiatives and to respond to any class or school culture or behavior issues. - Develop talented staff in Excel’s classrooms; lead and implement group professional development opportunities for staff to drive growth in the Instructional Program. - Design and implement the teacher professional development program, including teacher visits to other schools, and development of leadership and growth opportunities within the program. - Plan and facilitate staff meetings as needed. - Write quality evaluations for all direct reports. - Support the hiring and retention of talented staff in Excel’s classrooms. - Support the Head of School by serving as hiring manager for direct reports (conduct phone screens, attend model lessons and debriefs, make a recommendation to the Head of School for hire). - Manage aspirations for all direct reports; ensure that teachers have an open line of communication with school administration about aspirations and career goals. - Ensure that all teachers feel that Excel provides them opportunities to be intellectually and professionally challenged. - With the head of school, articulate a vision for Excel’s program and translate that vision into action. - Develop and perform regular school health assessments. - Create a dynamic and innovative staff culture; including developing and upholding staff norms, and mediating disputes as needed. - Support efforts for knowledge management and continual improvement. - On an ongoing basis, set the tone of highest expectations and urgency. - Oversee relevant programmatic budgets. - Participate in generating and upholding Excel Staff Norms. - Act as a substitute teacher when needed. - Meaningfully participate in Friday meetings, school PD and Family Conferences. - Meaningfully participate in the network-wide community of instructional leaders. - Serve as a productive member of the Administrative Team. - Do whatever it takes to ensure that the mission of the school is fulfilled. That's a lot but preserves info. Now Qualifications section: The posting has "Qualifications A Bachelor’s degree is required; a Master’s degree is preferred;A minimum of five years’ teaching experience is required; experience working in a high-performing, urban public charter or district school is strongly preferred;Demonstrated efficacy in raising academic achievement for historically under-served students;Ability to promote rigorous classroom instruction and culture; Preference will be given to applicants who share points of intersection with our students, such as speaking Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, or a language commonly spoken by our students and families at an advanced level, being first generation college graduates, or having grown up low-income." We'll make list items. Also there is a "Mission Alignment" section after Qualifications. That could be considered part of Requirements or maybe separate but not in headings list. Could treat as Requirements? But we have Requirements heading optional. We could put Mission Alignment under Requirements or as separate section "Requirements". However the instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we could include Requirements heading and put Mission Alignment content there. But we already have Qualifications. The posting has Qualifications and Mission Alignment separate. We could treat Mission Alignment as part of Requirements (since it's about alignment). Or we could create a separate section "Requirements" and put Mission Alignment there, while Qualifications remains separate. That seems appropriate: Requirements = Mission Alignment (maybe also includes the qualifications? but we already have Qualifications). We'll follow: Qualifications section for degree/experience etc. Requirements section for Mission
