Company Description
Uncommon Schools is a nonprofit network of high-performing, public charter schools providing an outstanding K-12 education in historically under-resourced communities. We have proudly built schools that reflect our student population, with more than 60% of our teachers and staff across our network identifying as a person of color. Uncommon currently manages 53 schools serving more than 20,000 students in five cities: Boston, Camden, New York City, Newark, and Rochester. We are proud that Uncommon graduates persist in and graduate from college at five times the rate of their peers nationally. We achieve this by offering strong academic, co-curricular, and social-emotional learning that prepares students for success in college and beyond.
Job Description
General Summary
A cornerstone of the Uncommon High School experience is to provide co-curricular programming, referred to as Projects, to all students in grades 10-12. The goals of Projects are to provide students with an opportunity to explore an area of passion, learn about areas of study that could become a passion, participate in a rigorous task that requires sustained energy over the course of a year and to have the opportunity to potentially complete on a national level. In addition to serving as the instructional and operational leader of Projects, the Program Manager is a unique role in our high schools that will establish and shape the vision of summer programs, internships, community partnerships, career-connected learning, and out-of-school learning opportunities. The Program Manager will report to the Head of Lower School or Academy Leader and will also check in with the Director of Experiential Learning.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
The Program Manager should expect to spend 75% of their time as an instructional and operational leader of Projects. The other 25% of time is spent on supporting students to learn about and apply to summer programs, internships, and out of school experiences. Essential responsibilities include:
