About UP Education Network

UP Education Network is a non-profit school success organization that addresses inequities in public school systems. UP provides differentiated support to historically under resourced schools through a partnership with districts and the state.

Since opening its doors in 2010, UP Education Network has focused on taking the lowest-performing schools in Massachusetts and transforming those schools into exceptional learning environments. We manage two campuses in Dorchester, serving over 1,300 students in Boston Public Schools (BPS) from grades pre-K through 8th. Our schools operate with charter-like autonomy while our network provides comprehensive support and management that builds capacity for schools to focus deeply on students.

Role

The Technology Coordinator directly supports the organization’s network of schools by providing on the ground technological support for all staff members across the UP Education Network, including UP’s Boston schools and network staff. The Technology Coordinator will work to solve daily IT issues while at the same time partnering with schools and the Boston Public Schools district to push forward key technology initiatives. 

Specific Responsibilities

  • Set-up and deploy all staff and classroom technology equipment
  • Perform regular maintenance on staff laptops and classroom technology as defined by network technology standards
  • Oversee computer-based testing across multiple sites, including configuring and managing large-scale Chromebook deployments
  • Resolve requests for help on the various apps used by teachers and effectively escalate complex requests
  • Oversee the network’s email system and perform regular maintenance as needed
  • Maintain an up to date inventory of all technology hardware across the network
  • Maintain the network’s ticketing and work order system
  • Partner with the UP Data Team to collaborate effectively on projects and support
  • Liaise with district technology personnel as needed, especially on issues related to wireless performance and student computers
  • Support the technology team and school leaders in developing and implementing long-term technology projects and in providing training to teachers and staff
  • Manage and prioritize workload to ensure appropriate focus and swift completion of tasks
  • Effectively collaborate with Directors of Operations and school teams to ensure clarity of roles, alignment on urgency of IT work/investments, and strong decision making

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
