ABOUT COACHING/FACILITATION ROLES
At Teaching Lab, our coaches and facilitators play a vital role in advancing our mission by delivering high-quality professional learning experiences. 

• There is no guarantee of hours. The number of service hours and the specific hours are dependent on the projects we have and when you are available. 

These roles are project-based and flexible, with opportunities communicated several weeks in advance so you can align them with your schedule. Once assigned, you'll collaborate with our project teams to prepare, practice, and tailor content to the needs of our partners, ensuring every session is both impactful and engaging.
Facilitation may be virtual or in person, and when travel is required, you'll manage logistics with the support of Teaching Lab's travel policies. After each engagement, coaches and facilitators participate in reflective debriefs that strengthen both individual practice and collective impact. Throughout, you'll bring Teaching Lab's Facilitation Competencies to life, helping educators and partners experience transformative learning that extends beyond each session.
Because contractors may work with confidential or sensitive organizational information, discretion and professionalism are essential expectations in every engagement. 

• Contractor roles are not eligible for benefits, retirement, or leave. 

This is more than facilitation-it's an opportunity to shape meaningful change in education while benefiting from the flexibility of project-based work.
