What We’re Looking for

What We’re Looking For





You bring deep experience in language development and language curriculum, ideally combined with elementary/K–6 education.

Experience in language acquisition, applied linguistics, second-language learning, literacy, immersion or language revitalization is particularly relevant.

You are an excellent writer and curriculum developer who can turn complex language concepts into learning that is engaging, practical and age appropriate.

English is required. French is not required.

You do not need to speak the Indigenous language(s) you will be working with; however, knowledge of or fluency in an Indigenous language is a valued asset.

Experience working with Indigenous, northern or community-based education is also an asset.

How the Work Is Structured

This is project-based contract work, with assignments defined by specific scopes and deliverables. Compensation is established for each project based on the scope, complexity and deliverables to be produced.

For the right person, there is potential to contribute to multiple curriculum, language revitalization and training projects with a2z.

Interested?

Send us your résumé and, if available, examples of language curriculum, instructional design or educational resources you have developed to [email protected]..
