Boston Public Schools seeks a Manager of Pipeline and Diversity Programs

REPORTS TO: Managing Director of Recruitment, Cultivation and Diversity Programs

Job Description
The Office of Human Capital is committed to recruiting, hiring, developing, and retaining a racially, ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse group of highly effective and culturally proficient teachers and principals every year. We continue to focus our efforts around three key "levers" for human capital reform: Cultivate and Recruit, Hire Early, and Develop and Retain. These levers remain at the center of our strategy for accelerating student learning.

The Office of Human Capital has strategically reorganized Diversity Programs and the recruitment teams to combine talent recruitment, pipeline development, teacher development and diversity programs to better support candidates and employees from recruitment throughout their careers in response to the district's workforce diversity needs. The new team is Recruitment, Cultivation & Diversity Programs (RCD).

The RCD Team has aligned its goals to support the district's investment in human capital by developing programs and initiatives that enable the district to recruit, retain and promote a workforce reflective of the racial, cultural and linguistic diversity of Boston Public School students. The RCD Team has developed and launched a portfolio of pipeline development programs intended to cultivate our own high school students, our paraprofessionals/substitutes, and community members in the City of Boston. Our goal is to grow our own highly qualified educators who reflect the racial, cultural, and linguistic diversity of the students we serve. We are guided by the following core values:

  • We value building pipelines to keep "home-grown" diverse talent in Boston and believe the next generation of BPS teachers can be found in our classrooms and in the City of Boston, right now.
