The Opportunity:
Facing History and Ourselves is a global education non-profit organization that challenges teachers and students to use lessons of history to stand up to bigotry and hate. Facing History seeks a dynamic educational leader to lead our expansion into the Southeast and other new communities. Reporting to the EPD-SPI, the Director of New Communities will be responsible for executing the organization’s school and district strategy that results in increased and deeper systems-level work across the Southeast.
Launched in 2019, the New Communities Project prioritizes significantly increasing the number of educators in southern states who use our unique educator model to embed equity practices, social-emotional learning, and civics education into core history and English/Language Arts classroom content. The New Communities Project focuses in particular on schools and districts in geographically isolated, rural, and suburban areas in 12 southern states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. Reaching educators and classrooms in the southeast and in new regions of the country, especially at a time when America is experiencing deep social and political divisions, is an essential focus for Facing History.
This key role will work cross functionally across a number of teams and partner with: the Director of District Partnerships to help inform and execute on Facing History’s new District Curriculum Partnership model; program leads on the organization’s whole school work, Schools Where We Belong; the Tennessee Program Director; and the Southeast Executive Director, who leads fundraising efforts across the southeast.
The Director of New Communities will supervise a small team of program staff who can be deployed across the area to deliver professional learning; in addition, this person will play a key role on Facing History’s organization-wide District team as the organization moves to scale its system work in school districts in the next several years. Between 15 - 20% travel in the Southeast will be required.
The Director of New Communities will be responsible for:
• Identifying, recruiting and tracking district relationships and opportunities throughout the 12 identified states in order to secure professional learning contracts with schools and districts.
• Driving all outreach efforts in the Southeast, including using educator, school, district, and state data to inform recruitment and outreach strategies, monitoring progress and impact
• Engage with systems-level senior leadership to raise awareness and identify potential partnerships
• Secure new and renewal contracts with schools and districts.
• Overseeing the New Communities budget and staff assignments.
• Provide program support to the Southeast development team as they engage local donors and create stewardship events on an as needed basis
Who we are: We are passionate educators and care deeply about our community. Innovative and entrepreneurial, we constantly look for better ways to serve our teachers, our schools, and their students. We have sought and continue to prioritize building a team that represents the diversity of the teachers and students we serve. We work closely together and depend on clear communication, commitment to each other as a team, and a positive work environment.
Who you are: You are an exceptional and experienced leader who has deep knowledge of Facing History’s pedagogy and the importance of our role in the fields of SEL, equity and civic education. You have a track record of systems-level leadership experience and an understanding of the headwinds and opportunities facing education today, including the anti-history movement and other curriculum and state policy implications. You are comfortable working with stakeholders at all levels, from communicating with a principal on a school campus, to meeting with superintendents, to presenting information to state legislators. You understand the changing educational landscape of schools, the educational market and the challenges schools and educators face. You are excited to seek out new business opportunities and seed partnerships with districts and schools leaders. You have demonstrated a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion as critical components of strategy development and execution as well as key aspects of team culture and dynamics.

Reports to: Executive Director, Strategic Program Implementation...
Location: Southeast region required
Status: Full Time, Exempt
Start Date: Immediately
The Opportunity:
Facing History and Ourselves is a global education non-profit organization that challenges teachers and students to use lessons of history to stand up to bigotry and hate. Facing History seeks a dynamic educational leader to lead our expansion into the Southeast and other new communities. Reporting to the EPD-SPI, the Director of New Communities will be responsible for executing the organization’s school and district strategy that results in increased and deeper systems-level work across the Southeast.
Launched in 2019, the New Communities Project prioritizes significantly increasing the number of educators in southern states who use our unique educator model to embed equity practices, social-emotional learning, and civics education into core history and English/Language Arts classroom content. The New Communities Project focuses in particular on schools and districts in geographically isolated, rural, and suburban areas in 12 southern states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. Reaching educators and classrooms in the southeast and in new regions of the country, especially at a time when America is experiencing deep social and political divisions, is an essential focus for Facing History.
This key role will work cross functionally across a number of teams and partner with: the Director of District Partnerships to help inform and execute on Facing History’s new District Curriculum Partnership model; program leads on the organization’s whole school work, Schools Where We Belong; the Tennessee Program Director; and the Southeast Executive Director, who leads fundraising efforts across the southeast.
The Director of New Communities will supervise a small team of program staff who can be deployed across the area to deliver professional learning; in addition, this person will play a key role on Facing History’s organization-wide District team as the organization moves to scale its system work in school districts in the next several years. Between 15 - 20% travel in the Southeast will be required.
The Director of New Communities will be responsible for:
• Identifying, recruiting and tracking district relationships and opportunities throughout the 12 identified states in order to secure professional learning contracts with schools and districts.
• Driving all outreach efforts in the Southeast, including using educator, school, district, and state data to inform recruitment and outreach strategies, monitoring progress and impact
• Engage with systems-level senior leadership to raise awareness and identify potential partnerships
• Secure new and renewal contracts with schools and districts.
• Overseeing the New Communities budget and staff assignments.
• Provide program support to the Southeast development team as they engage local donors and create stewardship events on an as needed basis
Who we are: We are passionate educators and care deeply about our community. Innovative and entrepreneurial, we constantly look for better ways to serve our teachers, our schools, and their students. We have sought and continue to prioritize building a team that represents the diversity of the teachers and students we serve. We work closely together and depend on clear communication, commitment to each other as a team, and a positive work environment.
Who you are: You are an exceptional and experienced leader who has deep knowledge of Facing History’s pedagogy and the importance of our role in the fields of SEL, equity and civic education. You have a track record of systems-level leadership experience and an understanding of the headwinds and opportunities facing education today, including the anti-history movement and other curriculum and state policy implications. You are comfortable working with stakeholders at all levels, from communicating with a principal on a school campus, to meeting with superintendents, to presenting information to state legislators. You understand the changing educational landscape of schools, the educational market and the challenges schools and educators face. You are excited to seek out new business opportunities and seed partnerships with districts and schools leaders. You have demonstrated a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion as critical components of strategy development and execution as well as key aspects of team culture and dynamics. You relish establishing strong, clear systems of working and communications channels. You thrive in dynamic environments and successfully chart strategic paths forward in collaboration with others.

Who We Are: Facing History’s educational content is informed by a unique pedagogical model that helps students explore questions of identity, human behavior, prejudice, and civic responsibility, and make the essential connection between history and the moral choices they confront in their own lives today.
