Job Description
At KIPP NJ, our Deputy Head of Schools (DHOS) serves as a leader who is transitioning between the School Leader and Head of Schools role. The DHOS is responsible for supporting school leader(s) in meeting their quantitative and priority goals through coaching, developing and managing the school leader. A key difference between a DHOS and a HoS is likely, but not limited to, the number of schools managed or the scope of project responsibilities managed. We embed antiracism in our approach, to better address issues of equity and fight systems of oppression in our schools.

- Build a strong "band culture" and leverage it to deliver high-quality School Leader PD opportunities.
- Monitor school-level PD to ensure quality and alignment to broader regional expectations and priorities.
- Serve as on-call support for student, family, or staff emergencies for the schools you support.
- Support the Managing Director of Schools in ensuring all school leaders in Camden have the support and development needed
- Evaluate school leaders through quantitative and qualitative input and work with them to create plans for their development.
- Develop and coach school leaders to develop and performance manage their own leadership teams.

- Drive equitable and transparent talent practices in collaboration with the talent team.
- Collaborate with the Managing Director of Schools to leverage best practices and drive toward a similar set of regional priorities.

- Communicate regional decisions to schools and ensure implementation.
- Monitor academic systems across content areas and grade levels through Weekly Academic Progress Monitoring meetings (in conjunction with T&L and SPED Director).
- Meet with CMO/R9/10 departments regularly to progress monitor and problem solve (Recruitment, HR, DLD).
- Collaborate with MDSO for your schools to proactively problem-solve operational opportunities.
- Where needed, own ad hoc projects across the region within predefined functional area (e.g., extracurricular and summer school planning).
- Academic results on quarterly and end-of-year assessments, academic results for SPED students, student attendance, student culture and discipline data, parent surveys, staff retention, staff surveys (including but not limited to Insight, Engagement, and ITR)
- SL performance reviews, manager survey results for SL, talent pipeline health metrics, leader retention, school-level hiring (openings)
