Instructional Leadership

Students are our bottom line. With great teachers, we've seen entire schools in low income communities defy traditional expectations and outperform schools in wealthier communities nearby. Instructional leaders work to make this possible in our corps members’ classrooms across the country.

Two examples of instructional leaders are our program managers and directors of teaching and learning. Each program manager leads a group of approximately 35 corps members to become great teachers and integral parts of their schools and communities. Directors of teaching and learning help bring our national best practices into our regions. They also maintain relationships with school and university partners to shape the corps member professional development strategy in their region.

Instructional leaders typically have demonstrated results as a teacher or have relevant experience as an educator. They are passionate about driving student achievement and providing kids growing up in poverty with transformational life opportunities.
