| Job Title: | Office of Human Capital - Coordinator, School Staffing |
| Salary Range: | $58,689-$64,337 |
The Office of Human Capital is at the center of many of the Chancellor'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 the Chief of Human Capital, 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. In the 2009-2010 school year, DCPS implemented a groundbreaking new teacher evaluation system, IMPACT. Other key initiatives to come out of the Office of Human Capital over the past two years include a revolutionary teachers' contract featuring mutual consent as a key component, and an innovative performance pay system designed to provide the best educators in DCPS with an unprecedented level of compensation for the extraordinary work that they do. This work places DCPS at the vanguard of the national education policy landscape, as states and districts, spurred by the U.S. Department of Education's Race to the Top grant program, increasingly focus on teacher quality and look to DCPS initiatives as models of best practice.
As DCPS moves into the next phase of its human capital reform agenda, matching top-notch talent with every classroom will be the top priority. The Staffing Services team is at the forefront of implementing these strategic objectives, serving as the primary point of contact to support the staffing process for all school-based roles, in partnership with principals. The Coordinator, School Staffing will play an integral role in working with principals to develop comprehensive staffing plans, efficiently and effectively bring on new Highly Effective staff, and develop and refine innovative operational processes. The incumbent will join a growing team that hires and maintains highly qualified candidates and employees to serve students in over 120 schools within DCPS.
The Coordinator, School Staffing reports to the Manager, School Staffing.
