About the Education Director Role
At NEI, each Education Director manages a subset of ~200 subscribers -- a “Mini Institute.” The role helps ensure that each subscriber has a consistent personal relationship at NEI. These subscribers meet with other NEI teachers weekly for individual 1:1s. As head of your own online Mini Institute, you build rapport with the subscribers in your charge, monitor each subscriber’s experience to ensure that it follows the learning plan and that the frontline teachers are addressing the subscriber’s current focus skills. You are a cheerleader, coach, and ally. This position involves approximately equal amounts of time:
Assessing students’ skills on the NEI rubric.
Meeting with students to discuss their learning plan and ongoing progress assessments.
Monitoring the automated assignment and discussion topic recommendations for good fit.
Maintaining subscriber engagement and renewals.
