Are you in a leadership role at a school district, cooperative service center, or state support center, where designing and delivering teacher-facing special education PDs are the primary focus? Do you have at least 3 years experience teaching special education?

Goalbook’s mission is to empower educators to transform instruction so that ALL students succeed. We were founded in 2011 and are currently a team of 80 people, most of whom are former public school teachers. We now partner with 1,000+ school districts across 46 states, but we are just getting started! We aspire to build a diverse and inclusive company that can have a systemic and cultural impact on the US K-12 school system over the long term.

 

​​Our first core value is Relationships. We believe in the power of human connection and the importance of relationships across different strengths, backgrounds, personalities, and identities in order to achieve our shared goals and overall mission. 

 

Our second core value is Growth. We strive to create a supportive environment so that people are continuously growing as professionals and increasing their impact. We also believe in having the time, space, and support to grow in our personal lives as well.

 

As a company, we have often sacrificed maximum growth in a deliberate effort to grow responsibly. We expect our team to fully embrace Goalbook’s Guiding Business Principle, which states that we strive to balance growth in three dimensions: revenue and profitability, impact toward our mission, and team experience

One of Goalbook’s business differentiators is a high-touch, relational model for service delivery with an emphasis on onsite delivery. We believe that making progress towards transforming instruction is best served by nurturing human connections and engagement that come through a face-to-face experience. Our professional development (PD) courses focus on improving instructional practices and are delivered primarily onsite. We also offer application training courses on the use of our solutions which are delivered virtually.  

 

Today, our PD catalog includes a total of 7 courses and we are in the early stages of asynchronous module development. Our Customer Success team, which delivers the PD courses, consists of 30 full-time staff located across the country and are former educators and administrators.

 

In this role, you will design and produce external professional development and training that align with the onboarding and ongoing use cases for teachers using Goalbook’s solutions to improve the quality of instruction and support our Customer Success team members with the effective delivery of courses.

 

As a Professional Development Designer, you take an approach to designing instruction that supports transforming instruction at the three levels of heart (motivation), head (understanding), and hands (action). You have experience with face-to-face, digital, and blended modalities of delivery.
