Senior Director of Teacher Compensation Strategy
Houston, TX

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 is driven by
the knowledge that although great teachers are the best solution to
educational inequality, the nation’s education systems do not
sufficiently prioritize the goal of effective teachers for all. In
response, TNTP develops customized programs and policy interventions
that enable education leaders to find, develop and keep great teachers
and achieve reforms that promote effective teaching in every
classroom. Since its inception in 1997, TNTP has recruited or trained
approximately 37,000 teachers—mainly through its highly selective
Teaching Fellows™ programs—benefiting an estimated 5.9 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 40 cities, including
Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, New Orleans, New York, and Oakland, among
others. For more information, please visit www.tntp.org.

We are currently hiring a large team to lead an innovative new

HISD’s Teacher Human Capital Management Transformation
In the new HISD, teachers’ success is the top priority.

Research has proven time and again that teachers have a greater impact
on their students’ success than any other school factor. HISD is the
seventh largest school district in the country and has garnered
national attention for its use of value-added data to guide
instructional decision-making and drive a system of differentiated
compensation for educators. To be the best school system in the
country, HISD must ensure that every student learns from effective
teachers. That means bringing the most talented new teachers to HISD,
giving all teachers the support they need to be successful, and
holding on to teachers who excel in the classroom.

TNTP will support HISD’s human capital transformation through a five-
year initiative to drive the strategic direction of the transformation
effort; develop new system-wide tools and processes; coordinate and
monitor school-level implementation activities; and build stakeholder
buy-in for reform and implement the following strategies:

• Smart recruitment/staffing: attracting the best new teachers from
across the state and across the country
• Useful appraisals: establishing a fair and accurate teacher
appraisal system to provide teachers and principals with meaningful
feedback and information
• Individualized support: providing teachers with the support they
need to do their best work.
• New career pathways: offering meaningful career pathways and
differentiated compensation to retain and leverage the most-effective
teachers

teaching in every classroom, for every student, every day. We’re
