Posted by: "Keith Bogen SPHR" keith.bogen@yahoo.com hrslugger2002

Thu Sep 2, 2010 8:21 pm (PDT)

From: Wayne Sos [mailto:wayne.sos@waycomm.com]

We are in need of an office administrator to assist us on several new
projects. Before I put a "help wanted" ad in the paper, I am reaching out
into my "network" to see if you might know of a quality person who might
fit our requirements.

We are searching for a detail oriented person with good analytical skills
and customer service experience. Telecom experience including knowledge of
cellular services would be a plus but is not required. The job requires
knowledge of email, MS Word, Excel, excellent telephone skills, the
ability to be very flexible, and to be able to sometimes work under
stringent time lines. The position will be located in our Sea Girt office.

We offer flexible hours and we are extremely "family friendly".

If you know of someone who would be interested in this position, please
ask them to email a cover letter and resume to: info@waycomm.com

If you know of someone personally and would like to recommend the person
to us, please reply to this email or call me on 732-378-5058 and I will
watch for their information to arrive.

Thanks
Wayne

6.: POSITION: Director of Operations at Teacher U

Posted by: "rondelljwalker" rondell@rjfinance.net rondelljwalker

Thu Sep 2, 2010 8:28 pm (PDT)

POSITION: Director of Operations at Teacher U

LOCATION: New York, NY

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION: A fast-growing, non-profit, start-up
organization, Uncommon Knowledge and Achievement, Inc. ("UKA Teacher
U" or "Teacher U") aims to develop and deliver high-impact
training for New York City district and charter public school teachers.
It grows out of the work of three of the country's most effective
charter school organizations – Uncommon Schools, KIPP and
Achievement First (UKA). In collaboration with Hunter College, Teacher U
currently trains mostly novice elementary and middle school teachers
over a two-year period, giving them the practical tools they need to
excel in their classrooms. They receive provisional certification at the
start of the program, permanent certification when they finish and a
Master's degree from Hunter College based on the successful
completion of the Master's level academic program and on a thesis
defense that includes generating student growth and achievement.

There are five key elements that distinguish the program:

· Great Teaching: We practice what we teach. Faculty members
are themselves master teachers and professors who model the best
techniques from K-12 and adult education and have demonstrated student
achievement in their classrooms and schools. Faculty members receive
regular feedback from enrolled teachers so that they are held
accountable for – and continually adapt and improve – their
instruction.

· Video: Teacher U captures real moments of great teaching on
video, which faculty show to illustrate the practices that can be
immediately put to use in classrooms. Enrolled teachers share and
receive regular feedback on videos of their own teaching. Like athletes
reviewing game film, our enrolled teachers consistently use video to
guide their own improvement.

· Student Achievement: Teacher U aims to help enrolled
teachers generate and demonstrate genuine student achievement gains over
two years. There is a sense of urgency about producing real student
learning, but also a commitment to providing the instructional and
assessment tools that are required for enrolled teachers to be
successful.

· Character Growth and Development: As much as Teacher U
emphasizes academic instruction, it is also committed to preparing
teachers to help students grow and develop the character they need to be
successful in school and in life.

· Collaboration: Teacher U is a highly collaborative
enterprise. Curriculum planning and design work began with the three UKA
partner organizations, which are committed to growing strong schools
that close the achievement gap and to sharing their practices with
others. Hunter College faculty members have also helped shape, build,
implement and oversee the program. Teach For America has been an
important partner too, in creating a program that meets the needs of TFA
corps members in New York City.

Teacher U understands the challenge of pursuing certification and a
Master's degree while shouldering a full teaching load. Thus, we
have constructed a program to fit the schedules of busy teachers. On
periodic Saturdays during the school year and during a portion of the
summer, dynamic professors from top educational institutions and master
teachers from some of the most successful K-12 classrooms in the country
guide enrolled teachers in acquiring the knowledge and skills necessary
to lead their students to demonstrably remarkable annual achievement
gains.

ABOUT THE POSITION:
Essential Duties & Responsibilities:

* Manage the planning, staffing, scheduling and execution of each
class day;
* Plan semester/year schedules for all active classes, coordinating
with Administration, Instructional Learning, Hunter College and
Recruitment teams at Teacher U;
* Spearhead work with Hunter College facilities and staff to ensure
technology, space and facility needs are met;
* Develop and maintain strong relationships with Teacher U's
critical partners, including, but not limited to, local CMOs, Teach For
America and Hunter College School of Education;
* Create long-term plans and systems for determining school year
schedules by collaborating with Teaching and Learning, Administration
and Facilities;
* Communicate immediate and projected operational plans to all
Teacher U staff;
* Create systems and schedules for instructor support and
development, coordinate instructor needs and directly support
instructors for class day needs;
* Develop operational plans for additional site(s) related to Teacher
U's program expansion.

CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS:
Candidates for this position must have the following:

* A bachelors degree (masters degree highly preferred);
* An ability to manage multiple projects concurrently;
* A demonstrated passion for urban education and closing the
achievement gap;
* An obsessive attention to detail;
* Strong interpersonal skills;
* A high level of zest, grit, hope, gratitude, enthusiasm and humor.

COMPENSATION:
Competitive compensation, commensurate with experience.
