Principal Manager

Position Mission

The Principal Manager develops and supports campus principals (and APs of Instruction as needed) to deliver A/B-rated instruction, strong culture, and reliable operations across Jubilee Coastal Bend and RGV campuses. The Manager executes a practice-based coaching model (observe → feedback → practice → re-observe) with tight data and implementation cycles, ensuring that every classroom, every period reflects Jubilee non-negotiables.

Instructional Leadership

• Run weekly leader coaching cycles: co-walk classrooms, script evidence, deliver 3–5 minute bite-sized feedback, and schedule same-week practice.
• Calibrate leaders on Jubilee non-negotiable look-fors (objective posted/aligned, exemplar in hand, aggressive monitoring, engagement at 100%, DOK, Time Voice Body (TVB)).
• Support CFA/BOY/MOY/Mock STAAR data meetings; convert findings to reteach plans, small-group cycles, and progress monitoring.
• Ensure leader calendars reflect ≥ 70% instructional focus each week; track feedback-loop closure within 48 hours.
• Support all Coastal Bend and RGV campuses

Leader Development & Talent

• Build principal/AP capacity to run effective PLCs, plan from standards, and deliver real-time coaching.
• Support principal tiering of teachers and creating and executing Excellence Plans for non-proficient staff; monitor execution.
• Model difficult conversations; uphold clarity accountability while maintaining trust.
• Evaluate principals of all coached campuses on the TPESS rubric following the district TPESS timelines

Culture, Operations, & Compliance

• Coach principals on student attendance (ADA >95%), safety routines, and family engagement systems (ParentSquare).
• Align campus work to district priorities: enrollment growth(10% yearly)/persistence, EB/TELPAS, SPED service delivery, and CCMR where applicable.
• Support calendarized deliverables (PEIMS-adjacent reviews, testing windows, board artifacts) in partnership with central teams.

Key Outcomes (KPIs)

• Ratings: Each coached campus shows measurable movement toward/within A/B on TAPR indicators.
• Instructional execution:
• ≥ 70% of scheduled walkthroughs completed per cycle.
• ≥ 90% of feedback loops closed within 48 hours.
• Documented increase in mastery by standard between CFAs.

• Leader capacity: Principals independently running data meetings, coaching-in-the-moment, and maintaining on-time compliance.
