What You'll Do
- Grade assignments for an assigned group of students using rubrics and provide meaningful feedback
- Support students who are flagged because of their grade, engagement, and/or other personal issues
- Communicate to the Braven team, group facilitators (known in Braven as Leadership Coaches, or LCs), and students about students' mastery, engagement, and upcoming deadlines
- Attend one virtual class (known in Braven as ‘Learning Labs') night per week (Tuesday from 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM ET or Wednesday 12:00 PM- 2:00 PM ET) to build relationships with students, provide support and answer questions about upcoming assignments, observe cohorts, and potentially substitute for absent group facilitators/LCs (dependent on the region)
- Attend weekly Grader meetings and check-in 1:1 with the Grader Manager.
- Hold one hour of virtual office hours per week
- Support students who come with questions
- Proactively reach out to students who need more support

- Deeply internalize Braven's instructional content such as modules, slide decks, assignments, and rubrics
- Attend all live trainings and complete additional asynchronous trainings. Graders will complete one, 30-minute, asynchronous training per week during weeks 3 through 12 of the course. The goal of this training is to ensure all graders are scoring with the same norms and to get questions answered about how to grade each assignment
- Serve as a substitute Leadership Coach during Live Learning Labs when an LC is absent. You'll generally be on standby, and will only step in as a last resort, but this coverage is an essential part of the role

- Prior experience coaching students or adults
- Professional work experience

Work Demands

- Required to attend an evening (4:00-6:00pm ET) or afternoon class (12:00-2:00pm ET) once a week
- Authorized to work in the U.S
While the interview process may vary slightly, the general process will be:
