How to Become
a Program Director
OneGoal works directly with school partners to create a process that works with their unique contexts and school culture. Generally the process includes:
Nominations + Info Sessions
Teachers are nominated by their school leader, another OneGoal Program Director or colleague at their school, or they can self nominate. We host info sessions for nominees to learn more about OneGoal, our model, and what it’s like to be a Program Director.
Interview + Observations
Through interviews and/or classroom observations we learn more about prospective Program Directors’ teaching style, relationship with students, and classroom management. Equally important, this gives teachers’ the opportunity to learn more details about us, how we can support them and what they can expect.
Selection
Finally, we partner with school leaders to identify teachers that show the leadership and drive to successfully teach the OneGoal model and solidify the teacher’s availability and commitment to becoming a Program Director.
