ОПИСАНИЕ ДОЛЖНОСТИ : 

Teach For Armenia is looking for a Program Design Manager. Teach For Armenia believes in designing programs that are responsive to the needs of its Teacher-Leaders and their students. Its core program includes a two-year-long Leadership Development Program (LDP) and its intensive summer training program, called the Teacher Leadership Academy. Additionally, Teach For Armenia is currently developing a series of self-guided teacher training modules that can be delivered through distance learning. The Program Design Managers are responsible for partnering with the rest of the Program Team in order to co-create the programming, including new projects and programs that may arise due to special initiatives. In general, one Program Design Manager will focus on pedagogical content, while the other Program Design Manager will target Community Innovation as well as educational leadership development (of course, these topics will often overlap, therefore requiring close collaboration).

The Team:
The Program Design Managers are a part of the “Learning and Innovation Department”. The Learning and Innovation Team is overseen by the Head of Learning and Innovation. For the 2021-2022 school year, there will be two Program Design Managers who will oversee the development of core program’s training for Teacher-Leaders. It will be important for Program Design Managers to collaborate closely with one another when determining how to distribute responsibilities in order to maximize the respective teammate’s strengths. The Program Design Managers will also work alongside the Leadership Pathways Manager, who is responsible for developing programming specifically for the organization’s Alumni-Ambassadors (i.e. Teacher-Leaders who have completed the two-year program). They are joined by the Data and Impact Manager, who is responsible for designing the organization's monitoring and evaluation tools and systems, which can then inform the design of the program through data analysis. The Learning and Innovation Department sits on the broader "Program Division", which includes the Regional Teams. The Program Design Managers collaborate frequently with the region-based staff in order to co-create programming that is responsive to the needs of the communities.
