Sporadic Work for a Company with a Worthwhile Mission - werkgeversreview Math Coach bij National Math and Science Initiative

-Bold vision to transform the face of STEM: NMSI advances STEM education by diversifying the teacher workforce, building the capacity of STEM teachers and school systems, and expanding access for more students to excel in STEM learning and see themselves in STEM careers -- especially students from underrepresented groups. NMSI has a strong research department with long-term data showing that their students -- across all demographic groups -- consistently outpace national averages in advanced STEM enrollment, AP exams, persistence through college, and earning STEM degrees. -Strong 5-yr strategic plan: NMSI has a well thought-out strategic plan that keeps staff rowing together to build educator and school system capacity, leverage high-quality technology solutions, and elevate supports for Black, Latino, and Indigenous communities. -Led and staffed by hard working and committed people: During the pandemic, NMSI did better than many nonprofits and even for-profits. But eventually strategic shifts and a restructure were necessary, which caused hard feelings for some people in Sept 2023. But the organization emerged stronger and more effective. It is clear why the restructure was necessary, and the new leadership team has been sincere in their work to make NMSI an irresistible and equitable organization where all staff feel empowered and safe to do their best work.

Significant change at the organization is difficult for some. And NMSI has taken on some of society's most inextricable problems, which is not a good fit for all people.
