Description

Effectiveness Coach - Baltimore Alternative Teacher Pathways

Baltimore, Maryland

WHO WE ARE

TNTP brings research, policy, and consulting together to reimagine America's public education system. Working collaboratively, we dig into educators' toughest challenges, and we provide actionable solutions grounded in evidence. This work takes place in schools and districts across the country, and our national position allows us to spot trends, collect and analyze data, and advocate for policy changes that introduce greater impact at scale. Our goal is to empower every student, breaking them free from the constraints of poverty and race, fostering innovation, and driving growth across the country. We collaborate across sectors and with school systems to ensure that the 3.5 million young people who graduate high school every year have pathways to economic and social mobility.

Through a TNTP partnership with City Schools, Baltimore City Teaching Residency (BCTR) provides career changers and recent college graduates the chance to transform the lives of Baltimore City youth. BCTR is an alternative route to a career in teaching for talented professionals committed to improving the odds for kids by raising student achievement. We are not just any teacher preparation program. We do not just provide a means to earn certification. We prepare teachers to lead thriving, academically demanding classroom communities in which students achieve at high levels. BCTR has trained more than 2,500 teachers for schools in Baltimore since 2002. Our teachers come from many walks of life, but most come from other careers; they are all committed to ending the injustice of educational inequity. BCTR teachers represent 1 in every 10 teachers in Baltimore City Schools and have reached over 380,000 students.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

As an Effectiveness Coach you will play a critical role in TNTP's teacher development initiatives and academic consulting work by supporting and developing BCTR Residents and SEED paraeducators. You will play a major role in developing their full potential as well as the design and facilitation of relevant curriculum and instruction-centered professional development focused on preparing them to support multilingual learners or students who receive special education services in Baltimore City public schools. This position is grant-funded through June 2026.

Some responsibilities and duties may vary, but the role of an Effectiveness Coach includes:
  • Develop and execute a data-driven and comprehensive coaching strategy that supports retention and improved performance of Residents and SEED paraeducators.
  • Communicate and collaborate to support and SEED paraeducators' development with key stakeholders - partners, principals, City Schools staff and other BCTR team staff.
  • Identify innovative solutions for improving teachers' overall performance to meet contract goals to ultimately provide strong, culturally responsive instruction to their students.
  • Contribute to the design, implementation and management of Pre-Service Training (PST), the six-week training intensive for incoming Residents and SEED paraeducators.
  • Design Maryland College and Career-Ready Standards-aligned, content-specific sessions for teacher professional development and certification requirements.
  • Partner and collaborate with the BCTR team to provide a supportive, engaging, high-quality, joyful and data-informed program experience for stakeholders across Baltimore City.
  • Play a supporting role in TNTP's teacher development initiatives, proposing and crafting long-term, aligned teacher development strategies and services.
  • The expected travel for this role is up to and including 40%. This can be 4-5 days on site per week, during peak season. In addition, as this will mostly be local travel around Baltimore and surrounding areas, all candidates must have a valid Driver's License ( reasonable accommodations are available for qualified individuals with disabilities ).
