Playworks is a national nonprofit that provides safe, healthy play and physical activity to low-income schools, helping create a positive environment for learning and teaching. Our recipe for rescuing recess and making play a part of every day has transformed more than 170 schools across the country. We put trained adults on the playground to introduce classic games that are disappearing from schoolyards, like kickball and four-square, as well as new games designed to build leadership and foster teamwork. When Playworks partners with a school, not only are kids more physically active, but the whole school day goes better. That’s why the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation calls Playworks “America’s best investment in healthy kids and healthy schools.”
About AmeriCorps:
AmeriCorps is a network of local, state, and national service programs that connects more than 75,000 Americans each year in intensive service to meet our country’s critical needs in education, public safety, health, and the environment. AmeriCorps programs focus on work to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering.
About the Position:
Our enthusiastic, well-trained Playworks coaches manage a safe and inclusive recess where children are inspired to get off the sidelines and into the game.

The New Teacher Project (TNTP) helps school districts and states fulfill the promise of public education by ensuring that all students—especially those from high-need communities—get excellent teachers. A national nonprofit organization founded by teachers, TNTP recognizes that although teachers matter more than any other school factor in student success, the nation’s education systems are not aligned with the goal of an effective teacher in every classroom. In response, TNTP develops customized programs and policy interventions that enable education leaders to diagnose their teacher quality challenges and find, develop and keep great teachers. Since its inception in 1997, TNTP has recruited or trained approximately 33,000 teachers—mainly through its highly selective Teaching Fellows™ programs—benefiting an estimated 4.8 million students. TNTP has also released a series of acclaimed studies of the policies and practices that affect the quality of the nation’s teacher workforce, most recently including The Widget Effect: Our National Failure to Acknowledge and Act on Differences in Teacher Effectiveness (2009). Today TNTP is active in more than 25 cities, including Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, New Orleans, New York, and Oakland, among others. For more information, please visit www.tntp.org.
We are currently seeking a Program Operations Manager for our Oakland Practitioner Teacher Program and Oakland Teaching Fellows programs in Oakland, California. The Program Operations Manager will be a TNTP employee based in the Oakland Unified School District office. This position is available immediately.
The Programs
TNTP works in partnership with the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) to run the Oakland Teaching Fellows program. Oakland Teaching Fellows is an alternative certification program established in 2004 to recruit, select, and train talented recent college graduates and mid-career professionals, who do not have a traditional background in education, to teach in Oakland’s high-need subject areas. Fellows undergo a rigorous selection process and complete an intensive Training Institute over the summer. There are over 200 Fellows teaching in schools throughout Oakland. In 2007, in order to create district-specific, relevant, and rigorous year-long development for new teachers, OUSD and TNTP further partnered to establish a district intern program called the Oakland Practitioner Teacher Program (OPTP). Following the rigorous summer Training Institute, participants participate in the year-long Teaching for Results Content Seminar Series, as well as a Language Acquisition and Literacy seminar, while teaching full time. Teaching for Results develops a teacher’s knowledge and ability to teach specific content while supporting a standards-based planning approach as a means to significantly increase student achievement levels in high-need schools. OPTP ensures new teachers are applying knowledge and strategies from their seminars to their classroom practice. Upon successful completion of all OPTP requirements, participants will be eligible for the Preliminary Teaching Credential.
For more information on Oakland Teaching Fellows and the Oakland Practitioner Teacher Program, go to www.oaklandteachingfellows.org.
Role and Responsibilities
The Program Operations Manager (POM) is responsible for contributing to the goals, processes, and success of both programs.
