We complement this site-based work with coaching to school district staff and research on school-based work to better understand how change occurs in public schools. We focus in particular on students who have struggled in middle school and high school—youth who often face dramatic skill deficit and lack of confidence in their own ability as learners. ~ As an incoming Project Associate, you will possess many, though perhaps not all, of the following characteristics and qualifications: Experience in a relevant field, including education, ed-reform, adult learning, organizational change strategy and management, and participatory action research.
