The Instructional Support Leader builds instructional capacity for teachers and administrators to drive academic achievement in high schools. This involves modeling research-based practices, leading professional development, and collaborating with leadership to implement district priorities.
Candidates must have a bachelor's degree and a valid Illinois teaching certificate, with a master's degree and administrative certificate preferred. A minimum of five years of classroom teaching and three years of experience coaching adult learners is required.
Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is the third-largest school district in the United States, serving over 325,000 students in 500+ schools and employing nearly 45,000 people, most of them teachers. CPS has set ambitious goals to ensure that every student, in every school and every neighborhood, has access to a world-class learning experience that prepares each for success in college, career, and civic life. In order to fulfill this mission, we make three commitments to our students, their families, and all Chicagoans: academic progress, financial stability, and integrity. Six core values are embedded within these commitments – student-centered, whole child, equity, academic excellence, community partnership, and continuous learning.
District-run CPS schools are organized into 18 networks, which provide administrative support, strategic direction, and leadership development to the schools within each network. This network support model is designed to support the unique needs of CPS elementary and high schools and their school leaders that focus exclusively on those needs. Network 16 focuses on the high schools in the Southern geographic areas of Chicago.
Job Summary:
Under the direction of the Chief and Deputy Chief of Schools (Network 16), the Instructional Support Leader (ISL) supports instructional development and school-level improvement to drive academic achievement for High Schools. All ISLs are expected to be instructional experts with proven content expertise in at least one core subject (i.e., Literacy, Mathematics, Science) and/or with priority student groups (i.e. Diverse Learners and English Language Learners), but specific content expertise and requirements for the ISL will vary based upon the needs of the schools in the network.
The preferred area of content expertise for this position will be either Mathematics, English Language Arts, Science, Social Science or Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). This is a full-time, exempt position that will be paid for time worked on a salary basis.

Build day-to-day instructional capacity of classroom teachers and school administrators in a portfolio of schools to deliver core district and network priorities which include: Common core state standards, a multi-tiered system of support, and a framework for teaching
Provide differentiated instructional support by working directly with administrators, teacher leaders and teachers in the classroom, as appropriate, to model effective, research-based instructional practices, by working collaboratively with teacher teams to drive data-informed instructional planning, and by working with school-based leadership teams to actualize CCSS implementation at the classroom level.
Consult and collaborate with Principals, Assistant Principals, school-based Instructional Leadership Teams, and fellow Network staff as needed to develop data-informed strategies to support development and implementation of CIWP. These strategies include: curriculum development, professional development plans, direct support to classroom teachers, student outcome progress monitoring, and student intervention plans.
Design and lead professional development around Common Core implementation for network teacher leaders and network administrators.
Organize and communicate Network initiatives and/or other District initiatives to support the improvement of instruction and academic achievement.
