Training and Instruction Manager - NYC Teaching Fellows
Brooklyn, NY
Seeking Passionate Instructional Leaders!
TNTP seeks a Training and Instruction Manager for the New York City Teaching Fellows (NYCTF) program. This position is based in Brooklyn, NY and is available immediately.
Who We Are
TNTP strives to end the injustice of educational inequality by providing excellent teachers to the students who need them most and by advancing policies and practices that ensure effective teaching in every classroom. A national nonprofit organization founded by teachers, TNTP is driven by the knowledge that effective teachers have a greater impact on student achievement than any other school factor.
