About the Great Schools Partnership
We are a dedicated and dynamic group of individuals who have joined together to create a high quality, more equitable, and just education system in the United States. Working with educators, administrators, state agencies, community members, parents, and business leaders, we partner with schools to create learning environments where students own their learning, engage in deep work, and prepare themselves for their chosen futures. We believe that each of us needs to be empowered to be creative, take initiative, think outside the box, work collaboratively, and assume leadership roles in our organization.
Our mission is to support, challenge, and collaborate with educators and communities to achieve educational excellence and equity. We envision thriving schools & communities where every student develops the skills and habits necessary to engage in deep learning, pursue their aspirations, and contribute actively toward an equitable society.
Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
At the Great Schools Partnership (GSP), we're not just committed to diversity—we're actively building an anti-racist, equitable organization reflective of the intersecting identities of the communities we serve. We believe that every voice, background, and identity enriches our work and strengthens our collective impact. That's why we celebrate the unique tapestry of race, ethnicity, language, ability, gender, and all the other ways we define ourselves.
This is the bedrock of everything we do. We actively advocate for and support schools, districts, and communities on their journeys toward educational equity. We also invest our time and resources in ongoing internal efforts to dismantle racism and bias, and foster a culture of inclusivity and belonging. Our goal is to collectively create a space where every member of our staff feels welcomed, valued, empowered, and equipped to contribute their full brilliance.
What’s the big plan for this job?
Our Senior Associates work alongside educators to transform practices, policies, and organizational models to ensure equitable outcomes for all students. This job involves coaching educators and leaders virtually and in person, while also interacting and collaborating with your GSP colleagues on a regular basis. In this role, you’ll be facilitating professional development in organizational design, leadership, teaching and learning, and community engagement. We work in teams as often as we can to share our expertise and problem solve, but our Senior Associates also have solo assignments and develop tools and resources as needed.
What will you be doing?
On site and virtual school coaching focused on achieving equitable outcomes. The bulk of your days will be assigned to contract work in schools and districts both in New England and across the country. You’ll be working with building and district leaders, leadership teams, staff, and, in some cases, school board and community members to support the development of sustainable plans for improvement. While we do have numerous tools and structures to support our work, each assignment is unique and our coaching is context-based and responsive to the unique needs of our partners.
Supporting schools to implement the following high-leverage approaches: a. Anti-racist, inclusive, and equitable practices, policies, and cultures; b. Proficiency-based teaching and learning; c. Multiple and flexible pathways that promote deep learning as well as student voice and choice; d. Shared, data-informed decision-making amongst educators, students, families, and community members; e. Trusting relationships between and among students, families, and educators; f. Professional learning groups
Convening and facilitating conversations among educators, students, families and members of the broader school community. Our Senior Associates are nimble facilitators, practiced in the use of protocols to lead conversations about practice, policy, and systems. A substantial part of our work is about bringing people together and ensuring all stakeholders have a voice in the conversation. In this role, you’ll work with school communities to structure and facilitate these important conversations.
Collecting data and reflecting on practice in cycles of learning and improvement. Senior Associates are supported by our Co-Directors of Coaching and our Director of Research and Evaluation in creating work plans for each school contract. You’ll develop credible theories of action, collect appropriate progress monitoring data, and determine how your work contributes to positive outcomes for the schools you coach.
Facilitating workshops and conference sessions. While coaching is the primary focus of this role, we also host and present at conferences throughout the year. Many of these presentations will be a team effort.
Developing and implementing tools for school improvement. Our staff are incredibly talented and creative people who routinely create new processes and resources for use in schools and communities. You’ll work collaboratively to develop tools and resources for use with schools and in workshops. Many of these will also be featured in toolkits on our website.
Learning and reflecting together with colleagues. You will participate in monthly all-staff learning and planning days and monthly coaching retreats for senior associates to learn, plan, and develop new skills and resources. In addition, you will frequently work as part of a team on many contracts which will provide the opportunity for you to learn from your colleagues and for them to learn from you.
What qualities do you need to succeed in this role?
You share our commitment to equitable education for every student. This is a job, but it is more than just filling in your time. You need to be committed to public education and believe that by improving the quality of learning we can improve the life-long outcomes of our students and fundamentally and positively impact the lives of everyone in our communities. You have the bravery to challenge inequities in our educational systems and the strategic acumen to get results.
You bring expertise and experience in teaching, learning, and leading in K-12 schools, and are able to adapt best practices to meet the specific needs of schools and districts where we work. You believe in the high-leverage approaches listed above and are committed to demonstrating the moral courage necessary to support educators in implementing these ideas. You have the ability to quickly assess the most pressing needs of a school, district, or community and craft a plan and set of recommendations for a path toward improvement.
You have experience using data and research to help guide decision making. You are familiar with different types of data sources available to schools and districts and are comfortable reviewing data to identify areas for growth and improvement.
You have public confidence and conviction. You enjoy exploring and developing ideas extemporaneously, in collaboration with others and in public settings. You view disagreements as opportunities to explore new ideas and develop better results where success is the development and implementation of great ideas that are shared between everyone involved.
You get energized when engaged in new personal growth opportunities. You enjoy developing new skills, are not afraid of ambiguity, and are willing to demonstrate learning in a public situation. You find power in learning with others even when you are in a position of leading work.
You get stuff done. You are self-motivated and able to work both independently and as part of a close-knit team. You are able to prioritize among competing demands to manage multiple projects, identify strategic priorities, and differentiate between work that you need to take the time to get perfect versus activities that just need to get finished. When problems arise, you figure out ways to push through to solutions.
You believe teammates matter. Certainly, you can work on your own to see projects through to fruition, but you know that collective efforts and insight can create better outcomes. You are dependable with colleagues, supportive of others, and able to tackle a challenge as part of a group. You value diversity, respect different ideas, and openly address concerns with your colleagues.
Our process strives to screen in rather than out. We welcome your application even if you feel you are not strong in every qualification outlined above.

About the Great Schools Partnership
We are a dedicated and dynamic group of individuals who have joined together to create a high quality, more equitable, and just education system in the United States. Working with educators, administrators, state agencies, community members, parents, and business leaders, we partner with schools to create learning environments where students own their learning, engage in deep work, and prepare themselves for their chosen futures. We believe that each of us needs to be empowered to be creative, take initiative, think outside the box, work collaboratively, and assume leadership roles in our organization.
Our mission is to support, challenge, and collaborate with educators and communities to achieve educational excellence and equity. We envision thriving schools & communities where every student develops the skills and habits necessary to engage in deep learning, pursue their aspirations, and contribute actively toward an equitable society.
Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion
At the Great Schools Partnership (GSP), we're not just committed to diversity—we're actively building an anti-racist, equitable organization reflective of the intersecting identities of the communities we serve. We believe that every voice, background, and identity enriches our work and strengthens our collective impact. That's why we celebrate the unique tapestry of race, ethnicity, language, ability, gender, and all the other ways we define ourselves.
This is the bedrock of everything we do. We actively advocate for and support schools, districts, and communities on their journeys toward educational equity. We also invest our time and resources in ongoing internal efforts to dismantle racism and bias, and foster a culture of inclusivity and belonging. Our goal is to collectively create a space where every member of our staff feels welcomed, valued, empowered, and equipped to contribute their full brilliance.
What’s the big plan for this job?
Our Coaching Associates work in tandem with our Senior Associates, Project Leads, and Coaching Directors to transform practices, policies, and organizational models to ensure equitable outcomes for all students. This job involves working in close partnership with GSP Senior Associates on projects and school and district contracts to coach educators and leaders virtually and in person. In this role, you’ll be building your skills toward facilitating professional development in organizational design, leadership, teaching and learning, and community engagement, working on teams and in partnership with other GSP coaches and leaders on various contracts, projects, and tools. We view this Coaching Associate role as a stepping stone to a Senior Associate position. Given that, Coaching Associates will engage in additional professional learning opportunities throughout the year to hone their skills.
What will I be doing?
On site and virtual school coaching focused on achieving equitable outcomes. The bulk of your days will be assigned to contract work on GSP teams in schools and districts both in New England and across the country. You’ll be working with colleagues to support building and district leaders, leadership teams, staff, and, in some cases, school board and community members to support the development of sustainable plans for improvement. While we do have numerous tools and structures to support our work, each assignment is unique and our coaching is context-based and responsive to the unique needs of our partners.
Supporting schools to implement the following high-leverage approaches: a. Anti-racist, inclusive, and equitable practices, policies, and cultures; b. Proficiency-based teaching and learning; c. Multiple and flexible pathways that promote deep learning as well as student voice and choice; d. Shared, data-informed decision-making amongst educators, students, families, and community members; e. Trusting relationships between and among students, families, and educators; f. Professional learning groups
Convening and facilitating conversations among educators, students, families and members of the broader school community. Our Coaching Associates work alongside Senior Associates to build capacity in the use of protocols to lead conversations about practice, policy, and systems. A substantial part of our work is about bringing people together and ensuring all participants have a voice in the conversation. In this role, you’ll work with school communities and GSP staff to structure and facilitate these important conversations.
Collecting data and reflecting on practice in cycles of learning and improvement. Coaching Associates are supported by our Directors of Coaching and our Director of Research and Evaluation in creating work plans for each school contract. You’ll work with your team to develop credible theories of action, collect appropriate progress monitoring data, and determine how your work contributes to positive outcomes for the schools you coach.
Facilitating workshops and conference sessions. While coaching is the primary focus of this role, we also host and present at conferences throughout the year. Many of these presentations will be a team effort.
Developing and implementing tools for school improvement. Our staff are incredibly talented and creative people who routinely create new processes and resources for use in schools and communities. You’ll work collaboratively to develop tools and resources for use with schools and in workshops. Many of these will also be featured in toolkits on our website.
Learning and reflecting together with colleagues. You will participate in all-staff learning and planning days and coaching retreats for Coaching Associates and Senior Associates to learn, plan, and develop new skills and resources. You will participate in professional learning groups and work as part of a team on many contracts which will provide the opportunity for you to learn from your colleagues and for them to learn from you. In addition, Coaching Associates will engage in a more intensive professional learning program, supported by Coaching Directors, to accelerate skills and knowledge across all areas of GSP coaching.
What qualities do I need to succeed in this role?
You share our commitment to equitable education for every student. This is a job, but it is more than just filling in your time. You need to be committed to public education and believe that by improving the quality of learning we can improve the life-long outcomes of our students and fundamentally and positively impact the lives of everyone in our communities. You have the bravery to challenge inequities in our educational systems and the strategic acumen to get results.
You bring expertise and experience in one or more of our areas of coaching. You have led efforts in restorative practices, family and community engagement, teaching and learning, collaborative practices, strategic planning and visioning, or youth development and are able to learn about and apply best practices to meet the unique needs of each school community. You believe in the high-leverage approaches listed above and are committed to demonstrating the moral courage necessary to support educators in implementing these ideas.
You have experience using data and research to help guide decision making. You are familiar with different types of data sources available to schools and districts and are comfortable reviewing data to identify areas for growth and improvement.
You have public confidence and conviction. You enjoy exploring and developing ideas extemporaneously, in collaboration with others and in public settings. You view disagreements as opportunities to explore new ideas and develop better results where success is the development and implementation of great ideas that are shared between everyone involved.
You get energized when engaged in new personal growth opportunities. You know you have room to grow and are willing to partner with colleagues in the field to build your capacity. You enjoy developing new skills, are not afraid of ambiguity, and are willing to demonstrate learning in a public situation. You find power in learning with and from others even when you are in a position of leading work.
You get stuff done. You are self-motivated and able to work both independently and as part of a close-knit team. You are able to prioritize among competing demands to manage multiple projects, identify strategic priorities, and differentiate between work that you need to take the time to get perfect versus activities that just need to get finished. When problems arise, you figure out ways to push through to solutions.
You believe teammates matter. Certainly, you can work on your own to see projects through to fruition, but you know that collective efforts and insight can create better outcomes. You are dependable with colleagues, supportive of others, and able to tackle a challenge as part of a group. You value diversity, respect different ideas, and openly address concerns with your colleagues.
Our process strives to screen in rather than out. We welcome your application even if you feel you are not strong in every qualification outlined above.
An additional consideration
We are especially interested in candidates who speak multiple languages recognizing that many of the communities we work with have significant language diversity. Speaking a language in addition to English is not required but is a beneficial additional skill.
Location
Coaching Associates may work virtually from a home office. This job requires work on site in schools predominantly in New England and consistent virtual collaboration with educators in the field and other GSP staff. Applicants should expect weekly travel with some overnights. We prefer that employees live in one of the six New England states (the core of our work) and will consider candidates who choose to live in eastern New York or northern New Jersey.

Pacific Northwest Research Institute
720 Broadway, Seattle, WA 98122
The Pacific Northwest Research Institute (PNRI) Summer Undergraduate Research Internship (SURI) is a research-intensive, nine-week program for undergraduate students who have an interest in pursuing a career in the biomedical sciences and who have completed at least one year of study at a university or college. Interns will work on a research project within the laboratory of their primary mentor and will present their work as a short talk at our annual Intern Research Symposium. As a group, the interns will participate in additional scientific, career development, and social activities.
PNRI labs host interns through partnerships with universities and local nonprofit organizations, like Rainier Scholars . We are honored to play a role in building the career of future scientists. Students who identify as African American, Hispanic, Native American, Southeast Asian, Native Alaskan or Native Pacific Islander or another group historically excluded from the sciences OR who are from low-income homes OR who are the first in their family to attend college OR who attend two-year colleges or small liberal arts institutions without broad research facilities are strongly encouraged to apply.
PNRI labs hosting interns this summer:
The Carvalho Lab applies state-of-the-art molecular sequencing technologies to investigate the genome of individuals with rare diseases. Our goal is to investigate disease-specific genomic alterations to understand how they contribute to disease expression and the mechanisms underlying DNA variation formation. Students will learn human genetics and analysis of next-generation sequencing data in the context of diseases. Potential projects will allow interns to learn and use various technologies and methodologies to study the structure of the genome.
The Dudley Lab studies how naturally occurring genetic variation leads to the stunning array of phenotypic diversity that we see on the planet. As an undergraduate intern in our lab, you will use a combination of classic microbiology, modern genomics, and high throughput robotics to discover which mutations in human genes could cause disease. Potential projects will focus on genes that cause rare childhood diseases in which rapid diagnosis can positively impact a patient's health outcome.
The McLaughlin Lab studies genome evolution with a particular interest in the evolutionary arms race between our genomes and pathogens like viruses and transposons. As an undergraduate intern in our lab, you will use a combination of molecular and computational biology to explore how our innate immune genes evolve to stop pathogens and the diseases that result when our immune system falters. Potential projects will focus on studying new genes that contribute to our ability to prevent disease and how pathogen replication could drive autoimmune disease.
The Metzger Lab studies a transmissible cancer in clams in which the cancer cells themselves jump from animal to animal through the environment. As an undergraduate intern in our lab, you will use a combination of experimental and computational techniques to grow clam cancer cells in the lab, analyze cancer genomes, and detect cancer-specific DNA in seawater. Potential projects will focus on understanding how cancer can evolve and how host animals can become resistant to it.
The Stubbs Lab studies the genetics of brain development, and how differences in brain development translate into individual behaviors and susceptibility/resilience to disease. As an undergraduate intern in our lab, you will study genes encoding regulatory factors—transcription factors and key signaling molecules—that sit atop gene networks that are activated with precise timing and sequence to build and maintain a fully functioning brain. Potential projects will include studying genes that function in the brain to impact social interactions, emotions, and intellectual capabilities.
By participating in this internship, you will:
Conduct scientific research in a biomedical research lab
Participate in scientific seminars, journal clubs, and career development activities
Interact with scientists from a variety of different disciplines, including genetics, evolutionary biology, biomedical engineering, medicine, and computational biology

Ocean Associates Inc. (OAI) is seeking a Shellfish Researcher to provide support to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle, WA. OAI is a Virginia corporation established in 2003 that provides consulting and technical services to the U.S. government, non-governmental organizations, international organizations, and the private sector. We specialize in scientific program and project management, strategic planning, professional and technical services, and stakeholder engagement, supporting government contracts.
Background
There has been considerable research regarding the ecosystem effects of shellfish farming in temperate waters of the Atlantic and Pacific coast in recent years. This research includes interactions with submerged aquatic vegetation, fish and invertebrates and effects on water quality. In Washington state, there are over 250 shellfish farms across over 700 sites, most of which are located in Puget Sound.
A priority in Puget Sound is the conservation of nearshore habitat, including wetlands, submerged aquatic vegetation, estuaries, and tidal zones that make up some of the most valuable habitat for the region’s salmon and steelhead and overlap in some places with shellfish farming. Unfortunately, much of nearshore habitat in Puget Sound is lost or degraded, with more than 90 percent of tidal wetlands lost to development. That leaves salmon without essential nursery habitat they need to feed and grow strong to boost their later survival in the open ocean. This is especially concerning for Puget Sound Chinook salmon, which is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
To help address this situation, NOAA Fisheries recently developed the Puget Sound Nearshore Habitat Conservation Calculator (Nearshore Calculator). The calculator can be used to determine how much restoration is needed to offset the impacts of nearshore development. The calculator determines changes in habitat value in a common currency that represents habitat impacts as debits, and habitat improvements as credits. Developers can then offset debits with an equivalent number of credits, avoiding further net loss of nearshore habitat. Credits may come from improvements undertaken as part of the same project or from improvements in other areas in the Puget Sound region.
NOAA Fisheries is in need of assistance to help consider additions to the Nearshore Calculator to account for ecosystem effects of shellfish aquaculture in Puget Sound, based on best available science.
Description
The employee will coordinate with the Northwest Fisheries Science Center and West Coast Region of Fisheries (Central Puget Sound Branch & Oregon/Washington Aquaculture Coordinator) to assist with the following key tasks:
Literature Review/Calculator learning: Compile and conduct an assessment of relevant literature to inform ecosystem effects of shellfish aquaculture. Assess relevance to shellfish aquaculture in the US portions of the Salish Sea including all five marine basins delineated as service areas for use with the Nearshore Calculator. Synthesize and communicate findings to scientific, management and industry audiences. Invest in in-depth learning of the nearshore calculator and Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act, including how the calculator works, the underlying literature, data inputs, analytical approach and how it is applied to aquaculture projects. Deliverables are:Finalized list of literature and folders with PDF copies of each study. Summary files with annotations of key results and conclusions from each source. Tables, figures, presentation materials for presenting results to different audiences. Contribute to NWFSC teams that are working on related projects by participating in meetings, completing assignments, and contributing to products.
Gain Regional Expertise: When possible, conduct site visits to regional shellfish farms to gain an understanding of aquaculture practices. Take photos of gear and growing practices at each site, pending permission of the grower. When possible, join research teams in the field to promote awareness of ongoing research applications. Deliverables are:Library of photos taken at each site visit that document different types of shellfish growing practices and ongoing research.
Effects of Aquaculture: Using results from Task 1 and 2, evaluate how benefits/impacts from different aquaculture techniques affect Physical and Biological Features (PBFs) for salmon based on best available science. Evaluate if these benefits/impacts are generally included in the indicator effect pathways outlined in Ehinger et al 2023. Amend the indicator effect pathways description as appropriate for aquaculture. Detail if any relevant indicator effect pathways may not be included and how they could be added in an update. Deliverables are:List of benefits/impacts of shellfish aquaculture are generally included in the indicator effect pathway outline in Ehinger et al., 2023. Amend recommended indicator effect pathway description(s), as applicable. Recommend any relevant indicator effect pathways that may not be included, and how they could be added following the format and methodology in Ehingher et al. 2023.
Prototype Development: For aquaculture techniques for which the most relevant indicator effect pathways are considered in the Nearshore Calculator, evaluate if current tabs allow for appropriate quantification of impacts. For those applications, develop demonstration examples of how shellfish aquaculture activities that require federal permitting may be addressed by the Nearshore Calculator. Demonstration growing methods shall include shellfish on-bottom culture, flip bag culture, long-line culture, geoduck culture and co-culture with seaweed and infrastructure associated with shellfish culture, such as buoys, nearshore hardening/boat launches, etc. Deliverables are:For each demonstration example, develop a document that describes each proposed idea for integrating ecosystem effects into decision making tools. Provide supporting evidence (data, references) to justify each idea.
Draft Recommendations: Based on steps one through four, develop proposed additions/adjustments to the calculator for shellfish projects. Present draft recommendations for feedback from applicable Northwest Fisheries Science Center and West Coast Region of Fisheries staff. Deliverables are:Consult with NWFSC and WCR staff to solicit peer review of demonstration examples. Develop key questions for reviewers to address in the review process. Electronic copies of all peer review comments received.
Develop Guidance: Develop instructions to NOAA Fisheries Staff regarding how these adjustments to the calculator can be incorporated for use by NOAA staff, tribes, the public and other stakeholders. Deliverables are:Based on results of peer review, offer guidance on when and how to implement the recommended additions and adjustments. Guidance may be in one or more formats, including but not limited to in-person work sessions, webinars, small meetings, written documentation, etc.
Communication: Share results, conclusions, guidance with interested and relevant audiences, including relevant conferences and meetings. In collaboration with NOAA staff, provide an overview of findings for regional aquaculture and marine habitat teams, tribes, the public and other stakeholders. Develop a synthesis manuscript for publication in a peer reviewed journal that includes the literature review findings and relevant results regarding how this information might be used to inform management tools and calculators. Deliverables are:Communications products including but not limited to:Presentation files (PowerPoint, Google Slides, etc.) and presentations at relevant science and management meetings. Manuscript drafted for submission to peer reviewed journal that integrates literature review and application to management tools. Collaborative engagement with communications teams on webstory, newsletter and social media content, as applicable. Monthly progress report to include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following: accomplishments, issues encountered, travel (including purpose, significant outcomes, action items), and recommendations, if applicable.
Start Date: As soon as possible
Location: Northwest Fisheries Science Center Seattle, WA or the associated Manchester Research Station, Manchester, WA
Travel: Travel is anticipated to support field research, meet with collaborators, and present results at a regional workshop or scientific conference. Travel will be in WA, OR, CA, or ID.
Salary and Benefits: This is a full-time position with benefits. Salary, commensurate with experience, between $38.00 - $42.00 per hour.
Requirements
