Job Description

The Circle is striving to build a network of reimagined schools and after-school centers that, together, are offering low-income students expanded opportunity to both succeed and change the world. We are vying to reinvent the learning and school experiences that India\xe2\x80\x99s students receive today.

In our first year of operations, we will be running two flagship programs: * Our signature program, the two-year Circle Incubation, will select and equip entrepreneurs who aspire to reinvent both schools and after-school centers. Our initial cohort will visit innovative schools across the country and world; serve in an apprenticeship with an existing school; and engage in rigorous content facilitated by innovation coaches and experts from across industries.

• Our Aspiring Entrepreneurship Lab will consist of a series of light-touch programs, including fellowships, workshops, hackathons, and internships, designed to cultivate both excitement and readiness for school design, innovation, and creation.

Over the next five years, we aspire to facilitate the launches of more than 25 schools and after-school centers across India.

Teach For India is on a journey to reach an India free of poverty and filled with love by ending educational inequity in our country. Fourteen years into our journey we are a movement of 4600+ Alumni working at all levels of the education system, who are reaching 1 in 10 children across the country. These Alumni have graduated from our two-year Fellowship Program where they taught in under-resourced classrooms to put ~38,000 low-income children on a different life path. Today, we have ~940 Fellows and are the largest pipeline of driven, skilled talent into the educational ecosystem in India.

In 2022, we embarked on Phase 4, our fourth strategic phase. We have a bold and ambitious ten-year journey ahead of us that aims to grow 50,000 leaders, who will work collectively, and with love, to transform the lives of 1 in 10 low-income children in our regions, through an education that unleashes the potential of self, others and India. In this decade, five key priorities will lead us to this vision. * Strengthen our core Fellowship to build strong teacher leaders who provide an excellent and equitable education to our children and continue to do so beyond the Fellowship

• Scale our impact by strategically introducing additional Fellowships as alternative pathways for leadership development
• Match the Alumni of our programs at an intersection of their interests and the needs of the system and our children
• Advocate for key issues that impact educational equity, and engage 3.5% of the population in the movement for educational equity
• Act collectively with our Alumni to learn about and address key issues in our regions.

Our work will only be completed when we have built a movement of leaders that is large enough to ensure that every child in India attains an excellent education.

We pride ourselves as being a passionate, idealistic, mission-driven team of individuals. We\xe2\x80\x99re committed to learning and excellence in our roles, and to being deeply rooted in our core values.
