About OneGoal

OneGoal transforms postsecondary advising and support so that every student can define their own future. Together with our partners, we're building a movement to close the opportunity gap. We work side-by-side with partner schools and districts to build their knowledge and capacity. The result is more effective support for all students. Our unique approach, honed over 15 years, prioritizes strong human relationships. And it's proven to deliver real student impact: An independent study by the University of Chicago found that OneGoal students are about 40% more likely to earn their postsecondary degrees than students from similar backgrounds. At OneGoal you'll be immersed in a culture of collaboration, shared purpose, and collective impact.

The Person

As OneGoal Georgia's Director of Postsecondary Access your mission is to work strategically and creatively to ensure OneGoal runs an exceptional school-based program, such that our Fellows are dramatically more likely to pursue their highest postsecondary aspirations. Your role is to drive regional program health and operational excellence across a portfolio of school partners, ensuring strong programmatic execution and partner satisfaction across your portfolio, including school leaders, counselors, teachers, students and school-based decision makers who can clearly see our program's value and retain our partnership. Additionally, you will impact teacher practice through designing and executing high-impact professional development and coaching so that teachers deliver stronger OneGoal experiences. By doing this, our partners see evidence of impact and take greater ownership resulting in our Fellows consistently meeting or exceeding key postsecondary milestones.

You will do this by managing several aspects of our OneGoal program, in partnership with your program team members:

• Directly support a portfolio of schools that include OneGoal classrooms and teachers, building strong relationships with educators and ensuring Fellows experience a high-quality, consistent program that enables them to meet or exceed postsecondary enrollment milestones.
• Provide ongoing 1:1 coaching and support to teachers, helping educators translate OneGoal curriculum, postsecondary knowledge, and advising practices into meaningful experiences for Fellows.
• Observe classrooms and analyze data in Salesforce and PowerBI to identify trends across your portfolio, determine where additional coaching or professional learning is needed, and adjust supports accordingly.
• Co-design and facilitate bimonthly rigorous, relevant, and engaging teacher trainings and professional learning experiences that build teachers' capacity to deliver an exceptional OneGoal experience.
• Ensure our national, culturally responsive curriculum is thoughtfully adapted to the needs of Georgia classrooms and effectively implemented through Canvas and other learning systems.
• Monitor and strengthen partner health across your portfolio by meeting regularly with school-based decision makers including principals, assistant principals, and counselors to monitor program execution.
• Support execution of engaging and inspiring experiences for Fellows, such as college visits, career exposure, guest speakers, and awards ceremonies, that expand students' understanding of their postsecondary possibilities.

Though the Director of Postsecondary Access is likely to see himself/herself/themselves in the following examples, these are not requirements. These examples are designed to help you determine if this opportunity aligns with your own passion and purpose.

• You believe deeply in our Fellows and their ability to graduate from college.
• You believe that our Fellows face real systemic barriers to college graduation, and that empowering their families, their teachers and themselves to own their unique path will help them to overcome those barriers.
• You have audacious hope for a future where every young person in America will have a real opportunity to earn a college degree–and the life that comes with it.
• You crave having direct and measurable impact, connecting daily activities to the bigger picture and ultimate measures of success
• You are excited by the opportunity to turn data, classroom observations, and teacher reflection into concrete changes in practice that ultimately improve Fellow outcomes.
• You believe teachers are the most important lever for delivering an exceptional student experience, and that thoughtful, relationship-centered coaching can help educators strengthen their practice and increase their impact on students.
• You are energized by working directly alongside teachers while observing practice, asking thoughtful questions, giving clear and actionable feedback, modeling strategies, and supporting educators as they try new approaches.
• You understand that partner health is more than partner satisfaction. You pay attention to the strength of relationships, implementation, engagement, outcomes, and shared ownership, and use those indicators to proactively identify risks and opportunities.
• You are comfortable having candid conversations with school leaders about program quality, implementation challenges, and areas where additional support or accountability may be needed.
• You have a history of coaching teachers/adults to excellence in service of student achievement outcomes.
• You are a team player.
• You are always willing to roll up your sleeves for the benefit of the OneGoal mission.
• You believe in team harmony as well as healthy growth-promoting conflict.
• You recognize that no single person is as strong as the group is together, and work to build culture in line with that of a strong, effective, and fulfilled team.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree (Required)
• 5+ years of aligned experience with demonstrated results (e.g. experience within teaching, coaching, counseling, or secondary education administration contexts)
• Adult learning design and coaching experience (highly preferred)
• Must be willing to travel in and around the 8 county-Metro Area and across the state (limited) to spend time in schools; vehicle required
