SY2021-2022 Recruitment Manager

OVERVIEW

Ingenuity Prep prepares PreK - 8th grade students in Ward 8 to succeed in college and beyond as impactful civic leaders. Our innovative instructional model promotes small group learning for students, collaborative teaching teams, and robust coaching and professional development opportunities for teachers and staff.

We are looking for an outstanding Recruitment Manager to join our school. As a member of the Ingenuity Prep Student’s Talent Team, you will join a three-person team to support leaders, teachers, and students and families as a critical partner in ensuring we have the best talent in DC! In this role, you will share recruiting efforts to attract, assess, and cultivate talent from core and emerging sources. This includes identifying and building personal relationships with candidates, helping to cultivate great staff culture, and building social media campaigns. 

WHAT WE’RE ABOUT

• Mission: We’re closing the opportunity gap. Students and families in Southeast D.C. have too few options for high-quality elementary, middle, and high schools.  Ingenuity Prep aspires to right this systemic injustice providing an exemplary educational option for Southeast D.C.’s students and families.
• Model: We pair high expectations with high support. Too often, our students are underestimated.  At Ingenuity Prep, an innovative teacher development model, paired with best-in-class training from strong instructional leaders, allows us to grow great teachers who, ultimately, lead high-expectation and high-support classrooms.
• Results: Our students are defying expectations. Ingenuity Prep’s students outperform their neighborhood peers on rigorous, national, college-track assessments.  Already out-performing many of their more privileged peers around the city, in the coming years, Ingenuity Prep’s students will provide an expectation-defying and achievement-gap-closing proof point — showing what our kids are capable of when we provide the right opportunities, expectations, and support.
