About the Role

In order to achieve its ambition of serving 80,000-100,000 Fellows over the next decade, Braven is hiring a part-time Grader who will play a central role in supporting students (known in Braven as Fellows) toward success during the Accelerator. A Grader is the first line of support to a caseload of students in their academic mastery in the Braven Accelerator. The primary goal of Graders is ensuring their students are engaged and succeeding academically in the course. This role is on the CDA team and reports directly to the Associate Director of Program Success. 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, cohort 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’) one night per week (dates and time of Learning Labs depends on site) to build relationships with students, provide support and answer questions about upcoming assignments, observe cohorts, and potentially substitute for absent group facilitators/LCs.
