Role Overview

The Teaching Assistant (TA), Data Analytics — New York supports high-quality technical instruction, learner engagement, and success across TKH programs in New York. The TA serves as a regional instructional practitioner who helps execute curriculum, facilitate learning, provide individualized technical support, grade learner work, monitor progress, and foster a supportive learning community that strengthens learner belonging, persistence, and retention across virtual and in-person learning experiences.

Innovation Fellowship (IF) represents a core area of responsibility during the active Fellowship cycle (February through August). Within IF, the TA partners closely with the Data Analytics Lead Instructor and Regional Program Manager to support track execution and serves as a key regional, in-person instructional presence for Data Analytics. The TA is expected to lead technical instruction in New York approximately twice per month, delivering lessons and learning experiences designed or approved by the Lead Instructor and adapting facilitation to learner needs while maintaining TKH’s established curriculum, instructional, and program standards.

This is a cross-program regional instructional role. In addition to Innovation Fellowship, the TA supports Youth & Community Development programs, Training Solutions engagements, workshops, short-form trainings, recruitment and admissions activities, and other TKH learning experiences where their technical expertise and instructional capacity are relevant. Responsibilities may shift throughout the year based on program cycles, regional needs, and organizational priorities.

The TA reports directly to the Data Analytics Lead Instructor, who oversees instructional responsibilities, technical guidance, performance management, and professional development. The TA also works in close coordination with the Regional Program Manager, who provides direction on regional scheduling, program operations, learner engagement, and community-building activities. The TA is expected to collaborate with both roles to ensure consistent, high-quality instruction, strong learner support, and effective program execution across virtual and in-person learning experiences.
