[YEP-DC] Job Posting: Part-time ACE Support Specialist at TNTP

Part-Time Assessment of Classroom Effectiveness (ACE) Support Specialists –

DC Teaching Fellows

 

Our Program

DC Teaching Fellows (DCTF) is administering the Assessment of Classroom Effectiveness (ACE), an innovative approach to certification that uses multiple streams of evidence to assess, and ultimately recommend, new alternate route teachers for state professional licensure.  DCTF is currently seeking tech-savvy Support Specialists for a dual role as a Videographer/Student Survey Proctor. ACE Support Specialists will record a series of classroom lessons taught by first and second-year teachers evaluated under ACE as well as administer student surveys to assigned class sections.

 

ACE Support Specialist - Videographer Role and Responsibilities

Videographers are responsible for video recording classroom lessons and submitting this footage to an online video platform for first and second-year teachers through DCTF.  Videographers will be required to attend 2-3 hours of initial training as well as 1-2 follow-up meetings throughout the year.  Training will be conducted virtually (through phone and webinar conferencing) and check-in meetings will be conducted via phone with central ACE management.  These check-in meetings will discuss and address logistical issues such as school access, scheduling, and technology troubleshooting. 

 

Videographers will be assigned a caseload of 10-30 participants based in Washington, DC. Videographers will video-record each participant 2-3 times between November 2014 and March 2015.  The lessons recorded and uploaded by Videographers will then be reviewed and scored by trained ACE observation specialists against the ACE instructional framework to inform certification decisions and/or provide formative feedback for these teachers. 

 

ACE Support Specialist - Student Survey Proctor Role and Responsibilities

The Student Survey Proctor role offers the successful candidate the opportunity to use their organizational and communication skills and commitment to customer service to support the collection of student survey data for the Assessment of Classroom Effectiveness.

 Specifically, the Student Survey Proctor will:

• Attend a virtual training on administering student surveys in January 
• Be assigned a caseload of 10-30 teachers for whom the Proctor will administer student surveys to 1-2 course sections in February/March
• Schedule directly with assigned teachers to proctor student surveys
• Distribute, administer (proctor), and collect student surveys in each teacher's classroom
• Mail and/or drop off student surveys for data entry

 Qualifications

Successful ACE Support Specialists are self-motivated with strong organizational skills and a track record of producing high-quality video recordings of dynamic environments. 

 Compensation

ACE Support Specialists will be paid $20/hour for all training sessions, check-in meetings (including independent study) and completed lesson videos and proctoring sessions. 

 

Application Process

If you are interested in becoming an ACE Support Specialist, please submit a one-page cover letter, résumé, and video sample to http://ch.tbe.taleo.net/CH05/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=THENEWTEACHERPROJECT&cws=1&rid=1729.  Given the importance of reliable internet service for this position, please also visit www.speedtest.net, run the diagnostic, and take a screen shot of your download/upload speeds; submit this screen shot along with your application materials.  In general, upload speeds slower than 5 Mbps are insufficient to efficiently upload video to our online platform and will remove your application from consideration.  Applications will be considered on a rolling basis – so it is to your advantage to apply as soon as possible. Interviews and selection of candidates will take place in October.
