Part-time Classroom Evaluator - Nevada Teacher Corps Las Vegas, NV 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. TNTP's Nevada Teacher Corps (NTC) consists of aspiring teachers who are committed to improving the odds for kids in Nevada by raising student achievement. NTC prepares Fellows to achieve immediate, measurable success with their students in the fall. This is the seventh year of operation for the NTC and this year we intend to work with 30 teachers. WHAT YOU'LL DO Part-time Classroom Evaluators will be responsible for conducting evaluative classroom observations for alternate-route teachers who are participating in TNTP Academy. The information gathered by evaluators will aid in NTC's understanding of beginning teachers' growth trajectory and form an important part of how we ultimately measure their effect on student learning. This position is currently grant funded through June 2026. Some responsibilities and duties may vary, but the role of Part-time Classroom Evaluator includes:
Time Commitment Evaluators will be assigned a caseload of teachers (generally 10-30) with whom they must schedule observations during each round based on the teachers' instructional schedules and the evaluator's availability. While evaluators can expect to work ~10-20 hours per week during observation cycles, weekly working time will vary based on how the evaluator chooses to schedule his/her assigned observations. Evaluators will not be expected to work more than 20 hours per week, and there will be several weeks without any observations between each round. Training (20-25 hours) will take place in August/September via an online course and webinar/conference call; more details about the structure and content of training will be shared later in the hiring process. Observations will be conducted in four distinct rounds, with dates for each round dependent on the site's needs but likely beginning in September/October and ending in May. Again, staffing needs will vary by site, and observation windows are generally four to eight weeks in length. Information specific to your site will be provided throughout the interview process. WHAT YOU HAVE Qualifications and Experiences We are looking for amazing people who have diverse backgrounds and experiences, are inspired by our mission and are highly motivated to change children's lives through education. You'll be right at home here if you learn from failure and overcome adversity, cultivate strong relationships, and push yourself, your work and the people around you to the next level. Successful applicants to the Classroom Evaluator position will demonstrate strong time management, organizational, and communication skills, both oral and written; are self-motivated; and display a commitment to improving teacher effectiveness for all students. Ideal candidates will also:
All candidates must also pass the final assessment administered at the close of initial training to continue as a Classroom Evaluator.
