Job Description:\n\nExecutive Director, New York Hiring Manager: Evan Stone, Co-Founder and CEOLocation: New York, NYJob Level: 5.5 - Senior Vice President / Executive Director About Us Founded by public school teachers, Educators for Excellence is a growing movement of educators, united around a common set of values and principles for improving student learning and elevating the teaching profession. We work together to identify issues that impact our schools, create solutions to these challenges, and advocate for policies and programs that give all students access to a quality education. We do this by treating teachers as agents of change instead of subjects of change because research shows that classroom teachers are the single most important in-school factor in improving student achievement. What We Do Our Theory of Change is grounded in two long-term goals that are inextricably linked: better outcomes for our students and the elevation of the quality and prestige of the teaching profession. We achieve these goals by changing policy at the district, state, and federal levels and transforming our teachers’ union to be more student-focused, democratic, diverse, and anti-racist. United around our Declaration of Teachers’ Principles and Beliefs, we are building a powerful movement to lead this change by:Organizing educators who share a common vision of equity and excellence in schools,Training and supporting teacher leadership, andAdvocating for teacher-led recommendations at all levels of government, within teachers’ unions, and in the public conversation around education. The OpportunityE4E organizes anti-racist, student-focused educators, builds their leadership capabilities and collective power through issue-based advocacy campaigns, and supports them to take on positions of leadership in their schools, districts, and most importantly, in their unions. We have made incredible progress organizing teachers to take action to uplift their students and profession. Through E4E, tens of thousands of educators have signed on to a common vision for elevating the teaching profession and improving student outcomes; thousands of teacher members have successfully advocated for and won equity and excellence-focused policy changes in their local communities; and hundreds have trained for and taken on positions of elected and appointed leadership in their schools, districts, and unions. Through NYC Reads and Solves, our New York chapter has achieved landmark progress in student learning gains by engaging educators in solving some of the most pressing challenges in public education. These gains are especially meaningful for our youngest learners and students with disabilities, and indicate that early implementation is working and moving in the right direction. The campaign illustrates that when educators are central to shaping policy, student outcomes improve. It has also driven significant progress in literacy and math initiatives, expanding opportunities for students and inspiring advocacy efforts nationwide.With chapters currently operating in New York, Connecticut, Chicago, Massachusetts, and Minnesota, E4E’s organizing culture is grounded in our passion for impacting educational systems and revolves around an innovative, roll-up-your-sleeves spirit backed by a shared commitment to continuous professional growth.
