Nova Pioneer Founding Headteacher Jobs in Kenya

Nova Pioneer is looking for an outstanding instructional leader to serve as the Founding Primary School Headteacher at our school opening in Nairobi in late 2018. This is an opportunity to help create a transformative school model with the future of Africa’s youth at stake.

Key responsibilities for the role include:

Act as an effective leader and ambassador for the organization

Articulate a compelling short- and long-term vision for the development of the school’s culture and student program;

Drive the development of an exceptional teaching team including through coaching teachers through observation and feedback;

Set and model a consistent tone of highest expectations, joy, and growth mindset among staff and students alike

Collaborate with fellow School Leaders in the network to continuously develop and improve the Nova education model across schools

Develop and strengthen partnerships with other schools and organizations to provide enriching academic and extracurricular opportunities for students

Lead key school rituals as needed to model and ingrain culture

Quickly identify and respond to classroom/school culture or behavior issues

Partner with parents and other key community stakeholders to build the Nova Pioneer brand

Plan and lead school staff meetings

Skills and Qualifications required:

You have 7+ years of experience in a rigorous, high-expectations school setting including instructional leadership roles (e.g., deputy headteacher, teacher coach, etc.).

Experience as a headteacher is highly valued but not a prerequisite.

You are widely recognized as a highly effective teacher and can model what great, inquiry-based teaching looks like. If you don’t have teaching experience, you are instructionally passionate and have a desire to learn and entrench yourself in the Nova approach to teaching and learning.

You are excited about your own professional development, always seeking out opportunities to grow, whether by asking others for feedback, forming communities of learning with other school leaders, or seeking out training

You have a track record of improving other people’s performance through coaching, building uncommonly strong relationships, developing creative training sessions and sharing feedback

You have an exceptional ability to think strategically and yet you sweat the small stuff—people see you as unusually detail-oriented and conscientious

You are excited about our organizational culture—and in particular, you are

fired up to challenge yourself by embracing mutual vulnerability and a firehose of feedback

You have a desire to further develop your leadership skills and apply them to transform the lives of African youth
