CREATE Coaching Position 

Description:
Milford & Somerville Public Schools

UMass Boston CREATE project (Centerting Relationships, Equity, & Access for Teachers of English Learners) centers educator voices from classrooms with multilingual learners, engages with multilingual students' families and communities, provides professional development and builds teacher leadership in the collaborating districts. It is designed to address an urgent need for thoughtful, committed, highly- skilled and equity-oriented educators of English Learners/multilingual students. It aims to increase individual, educator, and district capacity to support multilingual students in schools in the Boston metro area. With the completion of five courses, offered through the department of Applied Linguistics of the University of Mass Boston, participants will earn the English Language Development, ELD, certificate or the Dual Language Graduate, DLG, certificate. 

Responsibilities: CREATE coaches support participants in applying what they are learning in CREATE graduate course to their own classroom/school context and at the same time help participants to develop into teacher leaders and effective advocates for multilingual students in their district. Coaches will do this in two ways: 

1.      Community-centered teacher leadership activities: In year 1, Coaches will facilitate conversations between family mentors and the cohort teachers leading to an outcome such as understanding of community funds of knowledge, family literacy nights, or developing a set of curricular interventions based on family/community literacy practices, a new parent-teacher conference format, etc. In year 2, coaches will support participants in planning and delivering PD for their peers (district, grade level teams, school, etc) and advocating for multilingual students within the district. 

2.      Individualized and small group support for teachers: Based on the needs of the individual teachers in the cohort, the coach will work with educators to develop lesson plans or assessments, observe and reflect on classroom practices, or model teaching practices with participants as they try out new ideas in their classroom.  

Commitment: 4 semesters supporting a cohort of 17 teachers in one school district (across schools and disciplines with EL students)

• 60 hours of individual and small group coaching per year (averaging 2 1-hr meetings per participant per semester)
• 10 hours of whole cohort and small group coaching within the CREATE course setting per year (2-3 class sessions per semester)
• 10 hours of liaising with schools and district each year including during community outreach activities (such as LPACs and family literacy nights) or just getting to know district outreach personnel  
• 10 hours of meeting time/training with CREATE team each year.

Over 2, 14-week semesters, coaches will provide approximately 3.2 hours of contact per week per district, plus a few hours during the CREATE Summer Institute in June.  Coaching support will be planned with the course instructor in the first 3 weeks of the semester; some of the coaching work can be done remotely.

If interested in this position, please contact Dr. Avary Carhill-Poza, CREATE Co-Director, UMass Boston APLING Department at avary.carhillpoza@umb.edu.
