Inner Spark Learning Lab (ISLL) needs to build and test systems for partnering with schools, ensuring programs reflect the unique needs of each community and can be scaled to future sites. This involves improving communication, data collection, family engagement, and knowledge sharing.
Requirements
- Experience creating and managing databases (e.g., spreadsheets, Airtable, or similar tools) that organize feedback and data in ways that help identify and recommend the right resources or supports for your partner school.
- Strong organization skills, be detail-oriented, and skilled at documenting learnings so others can build upon them.
Responsibilities
- Collect and analyze data such as attendance, student surveys, project outcomes, and family feedback to identify trends, needs, and opportunities unique to the school site.
- Design and test data collection systems that make it easier for staff and students to share feedback—such as quick survey routines, observation templates, or reflection forms—and refine them based on what proves most effective at that school.
- Translate findings into actionable insights that strengthen programming, improve student and family experiences, and inform ISLL-wide learning.
- Collaborate with the ISLL team to build frameworks and documentation that capture what’s working at this site and how those practices can be adapted for other schools.
- Create accessible summaries (e.g., short reports or dashboards) to share key learnings with the school community and ISLL team, closing the loop between data, action, and reflection.
- Manage and support the school-based Facilitator to ensure cohesive implementation of ISLL’s programs and alignment with the school’s goals and needs.
- Provide regular coaching, feedback, and coordination to help the Facilitator bring ISLL’s curriculum and learning approach to life.
Other
- 3–5 years of experience in education, youth development, or community-based programs and have led or coached others while building or refining systems that strengthen collaboration and learning.
- Natural relationship-builder and systems thinker skills with the ability to connect deeply with students, families, and staff while designing structures that make it easier to respond to real needs within the school community.
- The belief that effective systems come from the community itself—valuing culturally responsive, student-centered education and designing processes rooted in local context and voice.
- The ability to thrive in startup-like environments where roles and systems are evolving.
- Rooted in care, curiosity, and collaboration, this role transforms insights from the classroom and community into structures that strengthen connection, learning, and impact.
