Title: BPS Recruitment & Cultivation Fellow
Reports to: BPS Recruitment Team

Context
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 on three key "levers" for human capital reform: Recruit, Hire Early, Cultivate, 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 teams in response to the district's workforce diversity needs. The new team, Recruitment, Cultivation & Diversity Programs (RCD) combines talent recruitment and cultivation, pipeline development, new teacher development and diversity programs to better support candidates and employees from recruitment throughout their careers.

Position Overview
The BPS Recruitment Team is seeking skilled and dedicated district educators to serve as ambassadors of BPS Recruitment, promoting the district in an inspiring and realistic way, and emphasizing the district's commitment to diversity. With our city and schools growing more diverse and vibrant, it is our top priority to ensure that we have the best educators in every classroom for our students. We are also committed to increasing the diversity among our educators, as research shows that a diverse workforce is linked directly to closing the achievement gap of students. A crucial part of this work is identifying and cultivating potential future educators earlier than ever. BPS Recruitment & Cultivation Fellows will participate in district-wide recruitment and cultivation events such as teacher fairs, interview clinics, and host networking and information events in order to build community and cultivate future educators for Boston Public Schools.
