**Position Summary**

To advance Teach For All's 25-year vision and intended outcomes, we are launching a Foundational Learning Initiative Lead to support network partners in sub-Saharan Africa to:

- Increase effectiveness of teachers in advancing their own students' foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN)

Teach For All is seeking the Lead of this Foundational Learning Initiative who will support network partners to strengthen their approach to developing teachers and leaders for advancing FLN by:

- Developing a strategy for the FLN Initiative
- Facilitating strong communities of practice and network learning, and supporting the creation of a fund to support Network Partners with their work in strengthening FLN.
- Building and maintaining strategic relationships and external partnerships in the FLN space

**About the Team**

The Network Learning Function advances knowledge and learning in the Teach For All network to make progress toward our vision by growing collective leadership to ensure that all children can fulfill their potential. We do this by fostering communities of practice in our global network, surfacing and spreading insights through strong resources and learning experiences, building partnerships, and enabling connections for constituents to advance their own learning.[KW1]

This role will sit on the Global Initiatives and Programmatic Partnerships Team which currently houses the Educational Leadership, Education in Emergencies, Climate Change, Girls Education, Inclusive Education and Future of Work Initiatives and supports the organisation with Programmatic Partnerships that support our broader work within these Initiatives and beyond.

**Build Strategic Relationships and Partnerships**
- Cultivating external relationships with partners in the FLN space in order to support network learning and growth (with organisations such as Room to Read, Teaching at the Right Level and Funda Wunda).
- Supporting network partners to determine how to contextualise and embed the resources these organisations have developed within Teach For All's approach and each network partner's context.
- Working with the Global Grantmaking Team and other stakeholders to initiate a fund to provide grants to network partners in order to pursue partnerships and strengthen their approach to training and supporting teachers in FLN; developing the concept for the Fund, Request for Proposals, Selection Criteria and Rubric, and developing the independent Committee that will select grantees.

**Facilitating Strong Network Learning**
- Fostering learning communities among staff members, teachers, and alumni to explore the systemic challenges, latest innovations, and initiatives to advance FLN.
- Providing access to shared learning experiences that support strong teacher development for advancing FLN.
- Support network alumni to build an understanding of how to maximise their long-term impact to FLN.

**External Leadership**
- Serving as an internal and external point person for all things FLN (e.g. identifying panelists for speaking engagements, supporting Public Affairs in various projects).
- Finding outlets to elevate the voices of our alumni and network partners related to FLN.
- Supporting Teach For All's effort to generate resources for FLN and create materials to illustrate impact.
- Building an Advisory Committee to support and guide the Initiative (including external and internal expertise and stakeholders)
