Job Description
Why do we exist? What do we do?
The quality of school education available to students from low-income communities across India is abysmal. Their chances of attending college, or building a career are significantly lower than their high-income peers, condemning them to a life without voice or choice. iTeach was born in 2015 to challenge this status quo and create a level playing field for ALL children.
We run free and high-impact schools and an exceptional college-to-career program for the most disadvantaged students in Pune and Navi Mumbai. We are known for our world-class professional development, our result-oriented team culture, and our student-centric school design. Read more about us at www.iTeachSchools.org.
Role Summary
The Lead Teacher role has three key responsibilities areas - teaching, coaching teachers, and project management (see this in a 3 min video here). These responsibilities cumulatively imply co-leading the school with your Principal, which makes the Lead Teacher role an ideal stepping stone to School Leadership! We are looking for committed educators who want to continue building excellence in their classrooms and parallelly start their journey as teacher-coaches with four to five teachers.

ll. Coaching & Managing a team of teachers (50% focus)

- Co-create the overall school culture and strategy with your School Principal
lll. Project Management (25% focus)
- Design and execute various projects for the schools program (these could be for holistic development of students, initiatives for parent and community involvement, or for innovation in school practices).
