About the role-
As an Associate / Senior Associate for the Gurgaon school, you will manage three main areas: academic coordination, family and community engagement, and school administration and compliance. You will act as a bridge between classroom learning and the home environment while enabling the principal and grade leads to focus on teaching quality. The position is primarily school-based, but requires spending one to two days most weeks out in the community for student outreach, home visits, and attendance follow-ups. Key day-to-day duties include running catch-up learning programs, conducting admissions outreach in low-income neighborhoods, tracking student attendance, and managing school records and regulatory calendars.
Key Responsibilities
1. Academic Coordination
- Coordinate academic programs and initiatives across the school (e.g., catch-up learning, assessments, co-curricular activities) in close collaboration with grade leads and teachers.
- Plan and track program schedules, materials, and session logistics.
- Support assessment cycles, including report card generation and data analysis to identify students requiring extra support.
- Support classroom observations and teacher capacity-building activities alongside grade leads, aligning with academic goals.
- Conduct classes or lead sessions when needed (e.g., during teacher absences or for small catch-up groups).
2. Community Engagement & Outreach
- Lead community outreach and mobilization to increase student enrolment, attendance, and parental participation.
- Run on-ground admissions outreach in surrounding neighborhoods, clearly and honestly communicating the school's academic offerings.
- Conduct home visits to follow up on irregular attendance and dropout risks, and to inform fee-waiver decisions, recording findings accurately and respectfully.
- Coordinate school and community engagement initiatives (e.g., parent meetings, open days, workshops, annual events) and supervise outreach interns.
3. School Administration & Compliance
- Maintain accurate student records, attendance data, and admissions documentation; coordinate with office staff on fee records.
- Oversee the school's compliance calendar and documentation, including board affiliation/recognition, UDISE+ returns, RTE admission records, safety inspections, and staff documentation.
- Manage school resources, including learning materials, maintenance, vendors, and inventory.
- Track project milestones and share regular updates, progress reports, and case stories with the principal and leadership team.
- Identify process improvement opportunities and work with the program team to implement solutions.
- Maintain strict confidentiality regarding all family and student information and assist with other operational tasks as needed.
