    Lead, Selection Model Development - Delhi, India - Teach For India

    Default job background
    Description

    Position Summary

    Vision for the Role:

    We are entering a very exciting phase of work on the selection team. We've just completed a large scale study to understand what is currently predictive of success in the Fellowship and beyond. While we have started to put this into action, we know the world and subsequently, talent pool, is evolving faster than ever. A lot of what we have - particularly in the earlier stages of the selection process, is also inspired from the past work we and other network partners have done. Hence, we are entering a time of intense innovation, agility and experimentation as we look to re-orient to design for the future instead

    Your role will be to continue to strengthen our understanding of what to select for with increased agility. However, the main focus will be on assessment design - design that is exciting, intuitive, effective and relevant to our target applicant pool. You will have to research - Gen Z behaviour, competitors and leaders in the talent market, specialists in assessment design and testing. You will also have to collaborate with other managers on the team to pull this all together, all while continuing to keep one ear to the ground as we learn from our classrooms on who makes a great Fellow and future leader for this movement and adapt quickly to ensure we are selecting the right people.

    What makes this role unique:

  • Being responsible for the team that designs the next phase of our selection process and what we want for selection in phase 4 of Teach For India's work as we balance the challenge of improving quality while scaling.
  • Getting to tap into your creativity with tons of opportunity for experimenting with assessment design.
  • Understanding how to make impact measurement agile, generating quick and actionable insights while also leading a team to operationalise this.
  • Team Overview

    What skills and mindsets drive excellent teachers and how are these similar to or different from those that drive our greatest leaders? These are the questions, which guide the work of the Fellowship Selection Team at Teach For India.

    The Fellowship Selection Team is charged with the responsibility of ensuring the best possible makeup of our cohort. We conduct research and analysis to design a selection model, which will lead us to efficiently identify those likely to be excellent teachers and impactful leaders. We design and run systems and processes that ensure efficient and accurate execution of this model across 8 cities in India. All this, by training and supporting over 200 Staff, Fellows and Alumni to execute their roles as interviewers and reviewers. Outcomes are monitored and evaluated at each stage of our process to ensure all decisions are accurate and that every applicant has an experience, which is fair, consistent and leaves them as advocates of our movement. In short, we put teachers in classrooms who will transform the lives of every child they teach and who will, as Alumni work towards eliminating the wicked educational crisis in India. Our team is entering an exciting phase where we strive to maintain the stability of our operations while focusing on innovation and automation of our processes to prepare for scale and strong analysis to better measure the impact of our model.
