AppleTree Institute for Education Innovation is presently seeking temporary contracted early childhood classroom observers for the outcome wave of its assessment program. AppleTree has established a reputation for excellence in the education of young children in the District of Columbia. Local and national organizations and agencies as well as many families and community members have taken notice of the positive impact our research-driven program has on children’s outcomes and their later academic achievement. POSITION DESCRIPTION: Independent contractor classroom observers are needed for the baseline observation window, commencing May 1st, 2017 and ending May 12th, 2017, Monday through Friday. Assessors must be available for the entire observation window. Assessors will be responsible for conducting classroom observations geared toward improving classroom quality, assisting in professional development, and increasing student language involvement. Observations occur in the morning (approximately 8:00am - 1:00pm). Assessors will be trained on the administration of either the Quality Indicators (QI) or the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS). Assessors assigned to the QI will attend two days of training, 4/24 and 4/27. Assessors assigned to the CLASS will attend four days of training: 4/24, 4/25, 4/26 (half day), and 4/27. Please note, attending all days of training is mandatory. Failure to attend all days of training will result in dismissal from the project. All contractors must complete two pre-training activities (estimated time for completion is 2 hours) prior to the first day of training (4/24). All contractors must come to the office prior to training to pick up pre-training reading materials. Additional details regarding these materials will be made available should you be invited to training. QUALIFICATIONS: Candidates must possess, at minimum, a Bachelor's Degree (Master’s degree or current graduate students preferred), preferably in Education, Psychology, the Social Sciences, or a related field. Ideally, candidates will have at least 2 years minimum experience working with children, or working in an educational/psychometric setting. Experience in assessment and/or in early childhood settings required. Reliable transportation (our sites are all accessible by Metro and/or by Metrobus), punctuality, and excellent communication skills are a must. All candidates are subject to a criminal background check. COMPENSATION: Training and observations are compensated at $20.00 per hour; a variable compensation plan exists for missing training and/or observation dates. Assessors who miss scheduled observation dates will be compensated at $10.00 per hour. Assessors who do not complete all mandatory training days, and at least one scheduled observation day will not be paid. Assessors must be available all days of the observation window, no exceptions. Assessors will only be compensated for completed observations occurring within the actual length of the entire observation window (if all observations are completed prior to 5/12/17, observers will not be compensated for any remaining days within the observation window). Assessors are not guaranteed observations every day of the observation window. PLEASE NOTE: This is a temporary, independent contracted position. Assessors will be compensated approximately 10 business days after completion of contract. No phone calls, please. -- Chavaughn A.
