Who We Are
The San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) is the seventh largest school district in California, serving more than 57,000 students who speak more than 44 documented languages across 132 schools in the city of San Francisco every year. We aim for every student who attends SFUSD schools to discover his or her spark, along with a strong sense of self and purpose. Our goal is that all students graduate from high school ready for college and career, equipped with the skills, capacities and dispositions outlined in SFUSD's Graduate Profile . Every day in our quest to achieve this mission we provide each and every student the quality instruction and equitable support required to thrive in the 21st century.
What It Means to Work Here
When you join our team at SFUSD you can expect to be part of an inclusive, innovative and equity-focused organization that approaches public education as a social justice movement, requiring broad collaboration across an array of strategic partners. In 2014, SFUSD created an inspiring statement, Vision 2025 , which captures our aspirations and vision for the future of public education in San Francisco. Alongside the District's strategic plan , Transform Learning. Transform Lives. SFUSD is reimagining how public education will change over the next decade to meet the dynamic future of San Francisco. As a CORE district , SFUSD is also a leader in critical systems change for more comprehensive school accountability and innovations that help strengthen the instructional core, which is the foundation of our strategic plan and Vision 2025.
Who We Want
We want talented people with diverse backgrounds and experiences, who are inspired by our mission steeped in equity, and who are motivated to unleash our children's potential. We want people who are strong collaborators, skilled communicators, and problem solvers comfortable in a community of continuous learning.
While San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) is one of the highest performing urban districts in
California, the district continues to struggle with ensuring that students who are African American,
Latino, Samoan, English Learners and/or Special Education achieve equitable outcomes. Recognizing this need, SFUSD is continuing to take important steps to disrupt student underachievement and to build the capacity of school communities to engage in continuous improvement and accelerate student outcomes.
A key element of the district's theory of change is to ensure that teachers have multiple opportunities to engage in high quality professional learning, including opportunities to: receive job-embedded coaching and instructional guidance, reflect on instructional practices, and plan and collaborate with colleagues around short and long-term instructional goals based on demonstrated student work or data.
SFUSD is seeking to identify a cadre of Literacy Coaches with deep content knowledge and a proven ability to positively support adult learners who will lead the district towards the development of a common vision for effective literacy instruction through providing teachers with direct instructional guidance and impactful professional development.
Desired Qualifications
Literacy Coaches will either be "site-based" or will work across multiple sites, supporting teachers in both informal and in more formalized coaching cycles around an identified aspect of instructional practice. Coaches will serve up to ten additional work days (compensated accordingly), to participate in coaching network meetings to develop protocols, professional learning modules, and role-alike training in preparation for the start of the school year.
Literacy Coaches will be selected into a central pool of qualified candidates who will then be interviewed to serve at one or more sites.
In accordance with the California Standards of the Teaching Profession, teachers work under the supervision of site or central office administrators and in collaboration with their school staff, families and community and are responsible for the fulfillment of the essential duties set forth below:
