Rolling Review - External Applicants
The CMS Teacher-Leader Pathway provides an advanced career path for excellent educators to take their careers to the next level. Teacher-Leaders who assume pathway roles earn anywhere from $2,250-$18,250 per year in addition to their base salary. The responsibilities of these roles range from directly reaching more students with excellent instruction to leading instructional teams and coaching teachers to build capacity within the school.
Positions vary in leadership, experience level, and expertise and are determined through extensive screening. Approved candidates are entered into a Talent Pool. If you are an aspiring teacher-leader and would like the opportunity to apply for one of these advanced roles, act now.
Talent pool resources can be found on the Talent Pool Resources page at bit.ly/CMSTEACHERLEADER and are also linked to the attachment found below.
Note: The Teacher Leader Pathway does not assign school sites or roles to the educators in the talent pool. Admission to the TLP Talent Pool does not guarantee a Teacher-Leader Pathway position.
Application ProcessAfter submitting this application, candidates must complete the TLP Screening Request Form. If the application review committee determines that you may qualify as an E IT3, MCL1, or MCL2, you will be emailed a link to participate in a virtual interview round, which will further assess your leadership experience and ability to lead other adults to improve their teaching practice. The 3-question interview lasts approximately 35 minutes.
All responses regarding your professional experience should detail events that have taken place within the last 2-3 years. Prior to completing the virtual interview, it is highly recommended that you watch the Virtual Interview Tips video located at Virtual Interview Tips
