City Teaching Alliance is on a mission to identify, prepare, and retain exceptional educators for the students who need them most. If you’re a skilled instructional leader energized by the intersection of coaching, teacher development, and equity-driven education, we’d love to hear from you.

In this role, you’ll:

• Manage a caseload of up to 24 fellows across the coaching cycle, providing consistent coaching, feedback, and support aligned to City Teaching Alliance’s scope and sequence, Accountable Teaching Practices (ATPs), and Teacher Practice Rubric (TPR)
• Facilitate structured coaching cycles — goal-setting, co-planning, observation, feedback, and reflection — differentiated to each fellow’s developmental stage, data, and individual needs
• Collect and analyze multiple sources of evidence, including observations, student data, fellow reflections, and partner input, to identify instructional priorities and inform coaching plans
• Document all coaching activities in accordance with City Teaching Alliance timelines, utilizing the Urban Assembly platform and SchoolMint Grow to deliver timely, evidence-based written feedback
• Establish psychologically safe, identity-affirming coaching environments, applying asset-based, culturally responsive, and anti-racist coaching practices
• Design and facilitate professional learning for fellows, including regional professional learning days, incorporating research, data, and best practices aligned to City Teaching Alliance’s priorities
• Collaborate with mentor teachers, school leaders, and colleagues to support fellow success and strengthen program coherence
• Contribute to regional hiring, onboarding of new coaches, coaching calibration, and other organizational priorities as needed

City Teaching Alliance is seeking passionate, accomplished leaders to join our national Board of Directors. Our mission is to identify, prepare, and retain exceptional career educators who are empowered and equipped to make a lasting impact on the academic and life outcomes of all learners. If you’re an experienced leader eager to lend your strategic guidance, expertise, and networks to help shape the future of teacher preparation, we’d love to hear from you.

As a member of our Board of Directors, you’ll:

• Provide mission-based strategic leadership, governance, and oversight in close partnership with our CEO and senior team
• Advise on organizational strategy, review materials, and actively participate in Board and committee discussions
• Approve the annual budget, audit, and other material business decisions while fulfilling fiduciary duties of care, loyalty, and obedience
• Serve on at least one standing committee — Executive and Governance, Finance and Operations, Program, or Fundraising and Development — and on ad hoc task forces as needed
• Help identify and recruit new Board, committee, and advisory members
• Act as a visible ambassador for City Teaching Alliance, opening doors to prospective donors, partners, and supporters
• Support fundraising and business development through an annual “give or get” contribution of at least $2,500 (Alumni Directors exempt)
• Attend our annual in-person meeting each June, monthly virtual check-ins, quarterly half-day virtual meetings, and at least one program observation or on-site volunteer opportunity each year

We’re looking for accomplished leaders across education, philanthropy, business, the public sector, and nonprofits who bring diverse backgrounds, expertise, and networks to our Alliance. Board members serve three-year terms (renewable for one additional term) and help steward our mission and resources with integrity and independence.
