JOB DESCRIPTION
Project Inspire maintains a promise to host school principals that its graduates will be ready from day one--ready to be fierce advocates for equity, ready to demonstrate the deep belief that all students can thrive when given the chance, and ready to promote a more inclusive culture within the school. In order to achieve this goal, the residency coach must work closely with host teachers, called clinical instructors, to cultivate a culture of growth and coaching at host residency sites. The residency coach must also provide ongoing support to program alumni as they enter the profession–through strategic connections with host schools. Most importantly, the residency coach will focus on coaching clinical instructors, residents, and graduates in real-time contexts with students, so that we can consistently keep the equity of student voice and rigor of student engagement at the center of our learning. We are proud that four of the most recent Hamilton County Teachers of the Year are Project Inspire graduates and most have exceeded their years of commitment.
