Background on StudentsFirst
StudentsFirst is a new national movement to defend the interests of children in public education founded by Michelle Rhee. Michelle began her began her career as a teacher in Baltimore’s public schools. After graduate school, she founded The New Teacher Project, which has partnered with districts and unions to deploy 23,000 highly qualified teachers in difficult-to-staff schools. From 2007 through 2010, Michelle was Chancellor of DC Public Schools. Under her leadership, the worst performing school district in the country became the only major city system to see double-digit growth in both their state reading and state math scores in seventh, eighth and tenth grades over three years. The graduation rate rose and enrollment increased for the first time in 40 years after steep declines.
Michelle founded StudentsFirst in order to broaden and accelerate education reform because our nation’s public education system is in crisis. The United States spends $600 billion every year on our public schools, which educate nearly 90% of the country’s children, but we are not getting results. Of 30 the industrialized countries regularly surveyed, U.S. schools rank near the bottom and are not getting better. This translates into an economic loss of over $2 trillion per year. Additionally, schools in the U.S. fail to create social mobility: on average, students’ life outcomes are still determined too much by their parents’ backgrounds.
There are reforms that will work, yet massive amounts of money is being wasted on investments that do not improve student results. StudentsFirst will build upon, connect, and accelerate effective reform efforts. Specifically, the organization will articulate a gold standard for education reform, based on the best evidence as to what works in teacher professionalism, student choice, and system-wide accountability. We will provide tools and services to local leaders who want to implement local change and we will build a membership movement with a national voice. We will deploy resources to defend students’ interests with litigation, mobilization, advocacy, and direct political activity. Fighters for reform will know that they are not fighting alone.
StudentFirst’s organizational culture flows from a refusal to compromise on our commitment to students. We operate in a fast-paced environment with minimal overhead. We expect all of our professionals to thrive in conditions of uncertainty, frequent feedback, and rapid change. We focus on accountability for results, and therefore expect an orientation toward action. Our national scale requires us to work virtually and with diverse partners, but our shared mission builds deep loyalty and sense of team.
Compensation
Salary is competitive and commensurate with proven performance.
Application Process
The application process will include a resume review, phone interview, project and in-person interviews. To be considered for the position, please send your resume and a cover letter to Bridget Davis at jobs@studentsfirst.org.
