Posting End Date: 07/07/2026

Position Summary: The Office of Teacher Recruitment and Quality (TRQ) is responsible for the recruitment of diverse and talented teachers to meet the staffing needs of New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) and programs, as well as being responsible for initiatives to promote the equitable and quality distribution of teachers across all schools. Research has repeatedly shown that teacher quality is the single most important variable in raising student learning.

TRQ accomplishes its work through a strategic, data driven approach that focuses on the following efforts:

• Serve as the primary marketing agent and source of information to individuals seeking to become NYCPS teachers, to recruit a large, high quality, equitable and diverse pool of candidates.
• Design, manage recruitment and pathways for individuals to become NYCPS teachers, especially to address diversity, subject and geographic shortage areas.
• Select a diverse and high quality pool of candidates to become teachers through rigorous, research-driven, screening processes.
• Design and implement high quality professional development and experiences for teacher candidates.
• Provide inclusive best practices and support to schools to help them make optimal, local hiring decisions.
• Lead candidates to teacher certification within our communities to promote an equitable distribution of teachers across all schools.
• Support new teachers with consistent onboarding experiences across the system when they are hired and throughout their first year.

TRQ is looking for a Program Coordinator for Teacher Pathway Programs to support the implementation of both our undergraduate paraprofessional to teacher pathway, and our high school to teacher pathway programs. The Program Coordinator will also support the expansion of both programs and develop new opportunities for aspiring teacher candidates to become certified teachers through Grow-Your-Own models. Additionally, the Program Coordinator will support the management of wrap around supports for our teacher pathway programs that support the retention of program participants, modeled after NYC Men Teach, which include mentorship, professional development, monthly engagements, and monthly meetings with institutions of higher education partners.

In addition, the program coordinator will support the communications strategies for both pathway programs and use data and insights to evaluate success. Performs related work.
