Interested candidates should send a cover letter and resume to Marcus Markle at marcus.markle@americaachieves.org.
Program Description
The America Achieves Fellowship for Teachers and Principals (AAFTP) provides outstanding teachers and principals from across the country the opportunity to share best practices, design systems for scaling effective teaching and school leadership, and elevate their voice in local, state, and national conversations on education practice and policy. This highly-selective Fellowship recruits, selects, trains, and spotlights America's most outstanding educators in order to bring what's inside great classrooms and schools to outside audiences. The Fellowship has no policy agenda, but rather seeks to demonstrate teachers' expertise in following education policies that impact teaching and learning.
We believe that helping educators - people who work in schools every day and know great teaching better than anyone else - to share their in-school stories will illuminate for parents and the public what is working in public schools, generate more constructive conversations, and lead to the formation of policies that are in the best interests of students. Additionally, by promoting the teacher voice and demonstrating educators' expertise, we help the public see teachers as education experts and thereby elevate the teaching profession.
Digital Communications Analyst Intern Roles and Responsibilities
The Digital Communications Analyst Intern will complete a pivotal project for the America Achieves Fellowship this summer. In the past year, we have initiated several projects on digital and social media, including paid accounts and advertising on Tumblr, Wix, Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, YouTube, Constant Contact, and Mail Chimp, and now we need to analyze the data from these activities to inform strategies for making a greater impact through digital communications.
