Pittsburgh, PA
What You’ll Do
Teach Plus is launching the Literacy Forward Network PA , a multi-district initiative focused on supporting the implementation of evidence-based reading instruction grounded in the science of reading. This program aims to increase literacy achievement by equipping small to mid-size districts in Southwestern PA with the tools, coaching, and leadership capacity to drive sustainable improvements in K–4 reading outcomes through teacher leadership.
Teach Plus’ Teacher-Led Practice Initiatives are innovative programs that engage, develop, and support teacher leaders to generate, implement, and manage change in district and school practices that impact teaching and learning, school culture and climate, and instructional effectiveness. This is a critical leadership opportunity for an experienced coach who is passionate about literacy, teacher leadership, and equity.
Specifically, the Education Leadership Coach will be responsible for the following:
Coaching & Development: Provide high-impact coaching to a diverse cohort of Teacher Leaders from participating schools in Southwestern PA.
Deliver feedback, guidance, and on-site literacy coaching to strengthen structured literacy instruction.
Support Teacher Leaders’ growth through bi-weekly 1:1 and small group sessions, literacy and leadership development conversations, and ongoing observation-based feedback.
Professional Learning Facilitation: Plan, design, and facilitate professional learning for Teacher Leaders and school partners, including:
Bi-monthly cohort meetings, multi-day hands-on training, quarterly convenings, and other sessions as needed.
Ensure professional learning aligns with equitable teaching practices and evidence-based continuous improvement cycles.
Collaboration & Partnership: Build and maintain strong, trust-based relationships with school, district, and Teach Plus leaders.
Partner with them to create and implement strategic literacy and leadership goals, develop improvement plans, monitor progress, and adjust strategies as needed.
Program Implementation & Planning: Serve as the primary point of contact for Teacher Leaders, addressing needs, answering questions, and providing resources.
Collaborate with the Teach Plus Program Director and school leaders to plan for future school years, including designing and co-facilitating professional learning for 2026 and 2027.
Data Review & Continuous Improvement: Participate in quarterly data review sessions with Teach Plus staff and district partners to evaluate progress, inform instructional strategies, and ensure program goals are met.
