Position Overview

We are seeking expert contract Facilitators across our Leadership, ELA, Math, and UnboundEd Planning Process (UPP) pathways to lead Local Learning Experiences in California and the Midwest United States.

Facilitators guide educators and school leaders through interactive, standards-aligned professional development focused on actionable instructional practices that expand access and opportunity for all learners.

This is a contract position. Facilitators are engaged on an event-by-event basis.

Key Responsibilities

Workshop Facilitation & Content Delivery

• Facilitate engaging, high-impact sessions for educators and school leaders across Leadership, ELA, Math, or UPP pathways during Local Learning Experiences.
• Deliver UnboundEd-designed content with fidelity, adding your own expertise and examples to deepen, not replace, the core learning.
• Present research-informed, standards-based content clearly, connecting session concepts to participants’ real-world classroom and leadership practices.

• Guide meaningful, participant-centered discussions around effective instruction, student impact, and addressing barriers to student success.

Preparation & Professional Growth

• Thoroughly internalize session content and materials ahead of delivery and participate in required training.
• Engage openly with observation and feedback on your facilitation, and stay reflective about how your own identity and biases show up in the room.

• Regional Availability: Ability and willingness to travel to deliver in-person workshops and summits in California and other Western states.
• Language Skills: Bilingual proficiency is a plus.
