Hi all,
I wanted to let you know about an exciting opportunity to be a part of District of Columbia's Public Schools' (DCPS) work to transform public education. DCPS is committed to becoming the highest performing urban school district in the nation and ensuring that every child receives an excellent education.
We are eager to hire energetic, talented and committed individuals who are passionate about transforming the lives of our students. If you possess the requisite skills and unwavering drive to support our schools and students in their pursuit of excellence, we invite you to apply to open positions on our Recruitment and Selection Team within the Office of Human Capital.
The Office of Human Capital is at the center of many of Chancellor Kaya Henderson's most important reforms, which focus on what has come to be recognized as the most critical school-based factor in driving student achievement: teacher quality. Under the direction of Jason Kamras, the office works toward the goal of having a highly effective teacher in every DCPS classroom through a range of initiatives spanning teacher recruitment, selection, compensation, evaluation, recognition, and retention. Over the past three years, we have designed and implemented a groundbreaking new teacher evaluation system, a revolutionary teachers' contract, and an innovative performance pay system designed to provide our best educators with an unprecedented level of compensation for the extraordinary work they do. This year, we are looking forward to rolling out a new teacher career ladder that will help us to recruit and retain outstanding teachers and keep DCPS at the vanguard of the national educational education policy landscape.
As we move into the next phase of our human capital reform agenda, teacher recruitment and selection is our top priority. We have doubled the size of the central office team that will lead this work, and we are now seeking ambitious, innovative, talented individuals to join our efforts to assemble the smartest, most innovative, and best paid teacher force in America.
The Teacher Recruitment and Selection team will develop and execute an aggressive, innovative, national recruitment campaign and continue to improve DCPS's teacher selection model – already one of the most rigorous in the country among traditional public school systems.
Our goal is to be the first public school district to close the achievement gap – and to serve as an example for the rest of the country that this audacious goal can be achieved.
Will you join us?
For more information about the positions available on our team, please see the attached position descriptions. If you are at all interested in learning more, I'd love to set up a time for us to talk on the phone.
If you are not currently interested in considering possibilities on our team, I would be very appreciative if you would be willing to pass along this message to anyone you know whom you think might be interested – or to send me their contact information at teacher.recruitment@dc.gov so that I can reach out directly.
DCPS is currently seeking an assistant and coordinator for their teacher recruitment team. For more information about other career opportunities in DCPS visit: http://dcps.dc.gov/DCPS/careers.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best,
Emily Allshouse, Manager
