With the news of Rachael’s transition to CDE and the California School Leadership Academy (CSLA) grant award, there will be some upcoming position recruitments within our ESS department that we wanted to share. 

 

At this time, the Senior Director of Continuous Improvement position will not be filled. We will, however, be recruiting for an additional CI Director to join the team. This posting is already up on EdJoin due to the quick work of our HR department. You can see the posting here. The position of Director of Continuous Improvement (CI) will be a member of the CI director team who will serve as a hub to support deep implementation and sustained impact in districts through the continuous improvement process, LCAP planning, and differentiated assistance. The CI director team provides Tier I (general support) and Tier II (differentiated assistance) services to all forty districts across Sonoma County. Each CI director holds primary responsibility for a roster of districts. In addition, each director holds an area of expertise to contribute to the team’s capacity to provide coherent support (e.g., teacher development, principal development, data analytics).

 

To serve our three year CSLA grant and as authorized in the grant award, we will also be recruiting for a variety of limited term grant positions: 

  • 2 CSLA Directors (Certificated Management): The 21CSLA Directors will be responsible for coordination and implementation of the grant work across our Geo Lead region (Lake/Mendocino/Marin/Napa). The 21CSLA Directors will coordinate systems-level support for the 21CSLA program, establish partnerships to address instructional leadership needs of LEAs and COEs; implement the structures to provide coaching and facilitate professional learning aimed at building leadership capacity to address equity gaps in student performance; and evaluate and report on program effectiveness. These positions will serve as the state level 21CSLA team lead to develop the 21CSLA model to be implemented statewide. These positions should be posted within the next two weeks. 
  • 1 Admin Program Tech II / Event Planner (Classified): This position will support the work and events of the CSLA grant, and will be responsible for grant reporting activities. This position should be posted within the next month.
  • 7 Supplemental Coaches (Active or Retired Certificated Coaches, 30 days each): These coaches will  travel to locations where CSLA grant participant learner teams are located to provide customized, job-embedded support. Each COE within the region will have a Coach for local coordination and implementation. The COE Coaches will work directly with the Regional CSLA Directors through like team meetings. These positions will be posted late Summer. 

 

If there are any internal candidates interested in any of the above opportunities, they are welcome to schedule a meeting with Jennie to discuss the specific position(s). If you know of anyone externally who might be interested, please share the postings as they’re available. 

Interview timelines and teams have not yet been established for any of these positions, and we will soon be reaching out to members of the team to participate in the screening/interviews. If you have questions on the general recruitment processes or positions, please feel free to connect with Jennie or Stacie.
