Position Overview: LIFT (Leadership and Instructional Foundations for Texas) is a three-year program designed to support Texas school systems in building the instructional and systems-level capacity needed to deliver high-quality learning experiences for all students. LIFT brings together the highest leverage components of Strong Foundations, Texas Instructional Leadership, and Texas Lesson Study, providing comprehensive support for districts to adopt HQIM and implement Bluebonnet Learning over multiple years.

The Manager, Regional Support and Implementation Coaching is responsible for ongoing professional development and performance management of 5-10 Approved Providers (Aps)(Education Service Centers and external vendors), and part of a team responsible for a 1200+ statewide coaching workforce providing field supports. In addition, this role is directly responsible for the management and development of two implementation coaches, supporting 10-15 approved Leadership and Instructional Foundations for Texas (LIFT) providers each. As such, this role will be responsible for the strategic planning, project planning, and performance management necessary to ensure the implementation coach team successfully manages the end-to-end process of vetting APs, supporting hiring/selection of the right Program Lead (one senior level lead at each AP), and the ongoing development, coaching, and management of APs with a focus on Program Leads.

This role is also responsible for the management of special projects, legacy grant program management, and ensuring alignment and collaboration within the High-Quality Instructional Materials Implementation Team. These responsibilities also include cross-agency management of Strong Foundations and Instructional Leadership Pathway grants. This role also supports coaching performance management by collaborating with content and district engagement teams to ensure strong program knowledge and fidelity of implementation knowledge.

This role will report directly to the Director, Leadership Coaching and Continuous Improvement and will work with a variety of stakeholders including, but not limited to, school district leaders, other TEA teams, external vendors, and Education Service Centers.
