Director of Implementation, Design, and Coaching - ELA
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove "Questions? We’re here to help." etc. Also remove "Why Work at Leading Educators?" maybe that's not a required heading but could be considered Benefits? Actually it's more about culture; but we have no specific heading for culture; maybe we can include under "About the role" or "Qualifications"? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine.
We need to extract substantive content: description of role, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule (travel requirements). Also maybe "Travel Requirements" is schedule? It's travel requirement.
We need to format using for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Benefits we have specifics: compensation range, starting salary, geographic multiplier, benefits details (medical/dental/vision, 401k matching, FSA, EAP, time off). So we can have Benefits section with those details. Pay section maybe separate? The instruction says include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state compensation range and starting salary. Could combine Pay and Benefits? But they said prefer few substantive sections; maybe combine Pay and Benefits into one "Compensation and Benefits" section? However they gave list of possible headings including Pay, Benefits, Schedule. Could make separate Pay and Benefits if both have content. But we can also combine to reduce sections. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So better to combine Pay and Benefits into one section maybe titled "Compensation and Benefits". But they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. If we combine, we need to pick one heading; maybe "Compensation and Benefits" is not in list but could be considered Benefits (includes pay). However they said include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state them, so we could have Pay section. But then Benefits also has content. Could have both Pay and Benefits sections. That's two sections, still few. Let's do both.
Schedule: travel requirements (regular travel to schools, occasional national travel, home office location). That's schedule-ish. So we can have Schedule section.
Now we need to extract responsibilities: from description: "own the full lifecycle of ELA implementation—from launch through measurable impact—while building the capacity of school and district leaders to sustain excellence in literacy instruction." Also "design and facilitate job-embedded professional learning cycles that stick, conduct learning walks that reveal truth, and debrief with precision so that leaders see exactly what's working and what needs attention." Also "be a thought partner to district leadership, surfacing opportunities and risks that emerge from school-level implementation and contributing to strategic decisions that shape the partnership." Also "coach a principal through a difficult feedback conversation, designing a professional learning session that shifts teacher practice, or analyzing student work data to refine instructional strategy." Also "translate data into actionable insights—and to communicate those insights clearly to diverse stakeholders". Also "navigate competing priorities, surface implementation risks before they derail progress, and make real-time adjustments that keep projects on track while maintaining fidelity to high-quality instruction." Also "work shoulder-to-shoulder with teachers, instructional leaders, and district teams to translate complex literacy science into coherent, executable practice that reaches every student."
We can list these as bullet list under Responsibilities.
Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The posting has a section "Do you have expertise in…" with bullet points (though not formatted as list). Then "If you've answered affirmatively to these questions and meet the following prerequisites, we urge you to seize this opportunity. This role calls for the following:" then list of prerequisites.
We need to separate Requirements, Qualifications, Skills? The instruction says use headings for those categories if they have real specific content. We could combine them into one "Qualifications" section maybe. But we have separate headings possible. Let's see content: The "Do you have expertise in…" includes:
- Leading instructional improvement initiatives and designing adult professional learning that translates to changes in classroom practice?
- K–8 literacy instruction, high-quality instructional materials (including Benchmark, CKLA, and MyPerspectives), and the Science of Reading and its application to foundational skills, language development, and reading comprehension?
- The California English Language Development (CA ELD) Standards and evidence-based practices for both Integrated and Designated ELD instruction?
- Managing complex, multi-school implementation efforts at the district or school level, with the ability to establish systems that track progress, identify risks, and drive measurable outcomes?
Then "Do you enjoy…" includes:
- Building trust-based relationships with school and district leaders, and maintaining those partnerships while holding firm to high standards for instructional quality and measurable impact?
- Translating strategy into actionable project plans with clear milestones, and then managing execution with precision and adaptability?
- Analyzing qualitative and quantitative data to uncover trends, root causes, and priority actions—and then leading structured conversations that help leaders act on those insights?
- Developing the capacity of others, whether through direct coaching, facilitation, or team leadership, and seeing people grow into stronger instructional leaders?
Then prerequisites list:
- Minimum of 8 years of professional experience in education, instructional leadership, curriculum implementation, or district-level instructional support
- Demonstrated experience leading complex implementation efforts across multiple schools or at the district level
- Proven track record designing high-quality professional learning aligned to standards and measurable instructional outcomes
- Direct experience providing coaching to school or district leaders and translating that coaching into observable changes in practice
- Experience serving as a primary client or partner relationship owner within a district or multi-school context, managing expectations and maintaining accountability for outcomes
- Experience managing and developing staff or team members, with clear responsibility for the quality of their execution
- Practitioner-level competency with artificial intelligence tools and a willingness to leverage them for efficiency and insight
- Ability to travel regularly to school sites (typically weekly) within the San Mateo-Foster City and Ravenswood City School Districts, with occasional national travel for organizational events and professional development
Travel requirement also appears later.
We could treat the "Do you have expertise in…" and "Do you enjoy…" as Skills/Qualities. The prerequisites as Requirements/Qualifications. To keep sections few, we could have a single "Qualifications and Skills" section combining both. But we have headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Maybe we can make Requirements (prerequisites), Qualifications (the expertise list), Skills (the enjoy list). That's three sections but still few. However we risk thin sections if content is small. But each has decent content.
Alternatively combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" and Skills into another. Let's decide: We'll have:
- About the role (maybe a brief paragraph summarizing role)
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (prerequisites)
- Qualifications (expertise)
- Skills (enjoy)
- Benefits
- Pay
- Schedule (travel)
But that's many sections (8). Might be too many thin ones. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should aim for maybe 4-5 sections.
We could combine About the role and Responsibilities into one "About the role" with prose and bullet list? But they said use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can still have those headings but we could omit some if content is thin. For example, we could omit About the role if we incorporate into Responsibilities? But they said do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. About the role is a typical heading; we can keep it if we have substantive content. We have a paragraph describing the role at start: "Leading Educators is seeking a Director of Implementation, Design, and Coaching – ELA to serve as the strategic lead driving instructional transformation across seven schools...". That's substantive.
Thus we can have About the role paragraph.
Responsibilities: we have bullet list.
Requirements: we have prerequisites list.
Qualifications: we have expertise list.
Skills: we have enjoy list.
Benefits: we have details.
Pay: we have salary range.
Schedule: travel requirements.
That's 8 sections. Might be okay if each has substantive content. But we need to ensure not to create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". All have real content.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, application instructions, "Questions? We’re here to help.", "Why Work at Leading Educators?" maybe we can keep some culture content? It's not under any heading; we could incorporate into About the role or Benefits? But it's more about culture; maybe we can omit as it's not required heading. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Why Work at Leading Educators?" is not boilerplate but could be considered promotional; but we could keep it as part of About the role? However it's not strictly required. Might be safe to omit.
Also remove "Learn About Our Mission & Values:" etc. That's boilerplate? It's mission/values; could be considered boilerplate but maybe not. Safer to omit.
Also remove "Use of Artificial Intelligence in Hiring" etc. That's legal/boilerplate; omit.
Also remove "External Candidate Application Deadline: Ongoing" - minor metadata; fold into short p or drop. We'll drop.
Also remove "Apply: https://..." - application instruction; drop.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll produce something like:
