Hiring Manager: Simone Ward Location: Los Angeles, CA (currently remote due to Covid-19) Application Deadline: Mar 22 About Us Our nation's education system is leaving millions of students-including an overwhelming number of students of color and low-income students-unprepared for college, career, and life. While research shows that classroom teachers are the single most important in-school factor in improving student achievement, their diverse voices are consistently left out of education policy decisions. For far too long, teachers have been treated as subjects of change rather than as agents of change. Founded by public school teachers, Educators for Excellence is a growing movement of 34,000 educators, united around a common set of values and principles for improving student learning and elevating the teaching profession. We work together to identify issues that impact our schools, create solutions to these challenges, and advocate for policies and programs that give all students access to a quality education. What We Do Our Theory of Change is grounded in two long-term goals that are inextricably linked: better outcomes for our students and the elevation of the quality and prestige of the teaching profession. We achieve this by: Building a movement of forward-thinking teachers through grassroots organizing in communities across the country Identifying and training teacher leaders within that broader movement to take on key positions of influence in their schools, districts, states, and perhaps most importantly, within their teachers unions Creating teacher-led policy recommendations in order to bridge the divide between policymakers and the classroom Advocating for implementation of teacher-generated policy ideas Scaling this model to reach critical mass in the communities we serve and across the country Educators for Excellence envisions an equitable and excellent education system that provides all students the opportunity to succeed and elevates the teaching profession. The Opportunity Educators for Excellence-Los Angeles has realized a number of critical achievements over the past decade and has become a critical player in the local landscape. E4E-Los Angeles teachers have driven major policy victories on a diverse set of issues from teacher career ladders to school discipline to school reopening. E4E members have increased their representation in the union (UTLA) House of Representatives, won school board elections, and campaigned for union leadership positions. E4E is seeking a dynamic leader to serve as the next Executive Director to lead our Los Angeles Chapter. This exciting role will set the strategy and vision for the chapter, own and implement the fundraising strategy for its next phase of growth, while also leading a high performing team. In addition to setting and leading E4E's strategy, the Executive Director will be the external representative of E4E's work in Los Angeles. Reporting to one of the Co-CEOs and serving as a member of E4E's Senior Leadership Team. The Los Angeles Executive Director will lead the Los Angeles team to deliver on E4E's Theory of Change to improve outcomes for students, particularly those impacted by the opportunity gap, and to elevate the prestige and quality of the teaching profession. . Scope: In this role you will... Design and Execute Local Programs and Strategy Design and execute a local vision and plan for E4E-Los Angeles that works in concert with E4E's theory of change, national strategic plan, and org-wide goals Evaluate opportunities within the local landscape for educators to influence critical decisions at the state and local levels Design strategies to cultivate teacher members to grow their participation and pursue leadership roles within their districts, states, and importantly, within their unions Lead the team to achieve chapter goals related to organizing, advocacy, and teacher leadership campaigns Create and implement metric based goals aligned with national goals and priorities Manage data systems for evaluating progress toward strategic goals, ensuring that local objectives are met while also aligning efforts with the national organization Oversee advocacy campaigns that impact policies to align with our local educator created policy recommendations rooted in the E4E Declaration of Teachers' Principles and Beliefs and strengthened implementation of those policies at the state and local level.

Hiring Manager: Simone Ward Location: Los Angeles, CA (currently remote due to Covid-19) Application Deadline: Mar 22 About Us Our nation's education system is leaving millions of students-including an overwhelming number of students of color and low-income students-unprepared for college, career, and life. While research shows that classroom teachers are the single most important in-school factor in improving student achievement, their diverse voices are consistently left out of education policy decisions. For far too long, teachers have been treated as subjects of change rather than as agents of change. Founded by public school teachers, Educators for Excellence is a growing movement of 34,000 educators, united around a common set of values and principles for improving student learning and elevating the teaching profession. We work together to identify issues that impact our schools, create solutions to these challenges, and advocate for policies and programs that give all students access to a quality education. What We Do Our Theory of Change is grounded in two long-term goals that are inextricably linked: better outcomes for our students and the elevation of the quality and prestige of the teaching profession. We achieve this by: Building a movement of forward-thinking teachers through grassroots organizing in communities across the country Identifying and training teacher leaders within that broader movement to take on key positions of influence in their schools, districts, states, and perhaps most importantly, within their teachers unions Creating teacher-led policy recommendations in order to bridge the divide between policymakers and the classroom Advocating for implementation of teacher-generated policy ideas Scaling this model to reach critical mass in the communities we serve and across the country Educators for Excellence envisions an equitable and excellent education system that provides all students the opportunity to succeed and elevates the teaching profession. The Opportunity Educators for Excellence-Los Angeles has realized a number of critical achievements over the past decade and has become a critical player in the local landscape. E4E-Los Angeles teachers have driven major policy victories on a diverse set of issues from teacher career ladders to school discipline to school reopening. E4E members have increased their representation in the union (UTLA) House of Representatives, won school board elections, and campaigned for union leadership positions. E4E is seeking a dynamic leader to serve as the next Executive Director to lead our Los Angeles Chapter. This exciting role will set the strategy and vision for the chapter, own and implement the fundraising strategy for its next phase of growth, while also leading a high performing team. In addition to setting and leading E4E's strategy, the Executive Director will be the external representative of E4E's work in Los Angeles. Reporting to one of the Co-CEOs and serving as a member of E4E's Senior Leadership Team. The Los Angeles Executive Director will lead the Los Angeles team to deliver on E4E's Theory of Change to improve outcomes for students, particularly those impacted by the opportunity gap, and to elevate the prestige and quality of the teaching profession. .
