Learn and lead "on the fly"
Identify and utilize Common Core Resources in the process of planning instruction
Use basic online learning/communication platforms to manage the Inquiry Group
Give focused, effective feedback on instructional planning materials (unit plans, lesson plans, teaching videos, etc.)

Desired Experience. An ideal Inquiry Group Facilitator will have:

• At least 3 years of teaching experience in an urban environment
• A demonstrated record of teaching for academic success
A Masters Degree in Teaching
Experience teaching Common Core Standards
Expertise in one of the following content areas:
• Elementary, Middle, or High School Math
• Elementary, Middle or High School Literacy
• K-12 Special Education
• Middle and/or High School Science or Social Studies 

Expected Time Commitment: 40 hours of work from March 1st, 2013 to June 30th, 2013.

We plan to offer facilitators about $30/hour for their work (pending final approval).
