Anticipated SYLead Coach Regular Teacher

The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has set ambitious goals to ensure that every child—in every school and every neighborhood—has access to a world‑class learning experience from birth, resulting in graduation from high school, college, and being career‑ready. Impacting the instructional core is one of the top educational priorities for CPS, through continuous improvement cycles of learning.

• Under the direction of the Office of Teaching and Learning and Office of Network Support, as well as the school‑based principal, implement a strategic action plan and continuous improvement strategies founded in the CPS Framework for Teaching to positively impact student‑based outcomes in the assigned school.
• Build the day‑to‑day instructional capacity of classroom teachers and school administrators to deliver district instructional core priorities, which include:
  • Students have access to a high‑quality curriculum across all content areas that is grade‑level appropriate, standards‑aligned, meaningful, and responsive to their communities and identities.
  • Schools implement a balanced assessment system that includes universal screening and benchmark assessments, as well as curriculum‑embedded assessments designed to inform instructional decision‑making.
  • Teachers facilitate instruction that honors students’ identities, prioritizes relationships, and fosters community to facilitate deep engagement.
  • Students are supported in engaging with and meeting grade‑level standards through strategic acceleration practices that recognize their strengths and build on those through just‑in‑time support.
  • Students access tiered academic and social‑emotional interventions to supplement core instruction when needed to facilitate their success with grade‑level standards.

CPS’s vision for the School‑Based Lead Coach is to support schools in impacting the instructional core through instructional development, change management, and school‑level continuous improvement to drive success for all students, continually improving and expanding the instructional core within their assigned school to enrich the lives of more students in Chicago Public Schools.
