Instructional Consultant

Salary: $105,000-$155,000

About K12 Coalition

K12 Coalition provides products and services that help K-12 schools and teachers achieve transformational learning outcomes. We tackle many of today’s toughest education challenges, including teacher recruitment and retention, student learning acceleration, ongoing teacher coaching and development, long-range strategic planning, and school equity audits. K12 Coalition came together when passionate educators with deep experience as teachers, school leaders and high-level district administrators saw a genuine need for something better. Our divisions include iteach, Teaching Channel, Insight Education Group and Lavinia Group.

About Lavinia Group

Founded in 2015, Lavinia Group closes the opportunity gap by helping our partner schools achieve world-class literacy and math instruction through exceptional leader and teacher training. As former teachers, school leaders and administrators, we know the key to excellent student outcomes is to invest directly in the professional development of educators. We provide our client partners with hands-on, immersive, side-by-side support so that schools build the capacity and capabilities to sustain their gains long after working with us.

Location: Remote

Start date: This role will begin in July 2024

Office and Travel: This role requires weekly travel to school sites, typically 4 days a week. While we make every effort to assign Consultants to clients that are in a similar geographic region of the country (e.g., south, northeast), we can make no guarantees about client site locations, and travel could consist of 4 days per week of overnight/out of state travel. There is no central Lavinia Group office, so consultants work from home when not in schools.

The ideal candidate has experience leading teams to achieve excellent results in diverse educational settings.

This role is an exciting opportunity for a skilled instructional leader to contribute to Lavinia Group’s organizational mission to close the opportunity gap across the country.
