StudentsFirst, a national, non-profit education reform organization, is currently recruiting for next year's cohort of Academy Teachers for our Teachers for Transformation Academy. This opportunity designed for current, reform-minded teachers and is meant to complement a teacher's full-time teaching responsibilities.
Overview of Program:
The StudentsFirst Teachers for Transformation Academy aims to engage current, high-performing teachers in the education reform movement and to position them to serve as leaders among their educator colleagues. StudentsFirst recognizes the importance of teachers' voices in the fight to improve our schools, and we therefore seek the perspective of our educators as we work to reform the current education system in our nation. This highly selective program provides teachers a broad platform of knowledge and professional development focused on education policy, advocacy and reform.
The program offers teachers the resources and tools to build and lead active networks of educators who want to create meaningful change across the education landscape. It is designed to complement the professional duties of full-time teachers by providing an after-hours forum to network, engage with national stakeholders, and ensure that progressive, student-centered education policy fully reflects the on-the-ground experiences of frontline professionals.
The Academy is a part-time, one-year professional development, leadership, and advocacy program. Because StudentsFirst understands that time is valuable, Teachers will receive a modest stipend as compensation for the time they will invest in the program. Teachers will complete the majority of the program in their local communities. However, Teachers will meet in person at the StudentsFirst headquarters in Sacramento, CA two to three times during the year.
We are looking for current teachers who:
-are passionate about education reform
-firmly believe all students can succeed
-possess strong leadership skills
-desire to be engaged in StudentsFirst advocacy efforts
-desire to provide insight on implementation in their home states
-are flexible, responsive, innovative, and self-motivated
Interested teachers can apply here and reference the attached application. The application deadline is May 10th.
