TITLE: Remote Education Specialist jobs – Full-Time Senior Learning & Development Specialist in New Orleans, Louisiana – Remote, $80k‑$95k, Expertise in LMS, Curriculum Design, Virtual Classroom Facilitation, Data‑Driven Student Success --- **Who we are** At BrightPath Learning, we’ve spent the last five years building a cloud‑based tutoring platform that blends one‑on‑one academic coaching with adaptive curriculum. Our flagship product, Pathways, now serves more than 45,000 learners across the United States, with a particular focus on K‑12 students who need flexible, high‑quality support. The team is spread across the country, but our product and culture are rooted in the community of New Orleans, Louisiana—the same city where our founding educators first gathered in a small co‑working space to map out what modern tutoring could look like. **Why this role exists now** Two things shifted in the past year that made us realize we needed a dedicated Education Specialist. First, our partnership with the State Board of Education in New Orleans, Louisiana opened a new channel to deliver accredited credit recovery courses to districts that have been struggling with enrollment drops. Second, data from our internal analytics platform showed a 40 % increase in course completion rates when a subject‑matter expert actively curates content and coaches instructors in real time. To capitalize on that momentum—and to keep the SLA of responding to teacher queries within 24 hours—we are adding a senior-level education professional who can own the end‑to‑end learning experience for our Pathways curriculum. **What you’ll own day‑to‑day** - **Curriculum stewardship** – You’ll audit, update, and enrich over 300 lesson modules across math, science, and language arts, ensuring each aligns with Common Core standards and the latest research on spaced repetition. - **Instructor enablement** – Lead weekly virtual “office hours” on Zoom and arenaflex Teams where our 120 academic tutors receive micro‑coaching, role‑play feedback, and data‑driven insights from PowerBI dashboards. - **Learning‑technology integration** – Own the configuration of Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle instances for each partner district, handling everything from grade‐book mapping to single‑sign‑on (SSO) with the district’s IdP. - **Student success analytics** – Partner with our data science team to translate raw engagement metrics into actionable recommendations. For example, you might notice that learners who interact with Kahoot! quizzes have a 12 % higher retention rate, and you’ll create a rollout plan to embed those quizzes more broadly. - **Quality assurance** – Conduct quarterly audits of 10 % of all live tutoring sessions, using a rubric you develop, to guarantee consistency and to feed back into our continuous‑improvement loop. - **Stakeholder communication** – Write monthly briefs for district leadership in New Orleans, Louisiana and beyond, summarizing outcomes, challenges, and upcoming curriculum releases. These briefs are part of the contractual SLA that ties our $500 k annual education‑budget to measurable student outcomes. **Who you are** - A seasoned teaching specialist (minimum 5 years) who has moved from classroom walls to digital platforms, with a track record of boosting learner outcomes by at least 15 % in a comparable setting. - An academic tutor‑turned curriculum designer who can speak fluently in both pedagogical theory and the practical constraints of teachers using arenaflex Classroom, Slack, and Asana on a daily basis. - Comfortable presenting to senior educators and district superintendents in New Orleans, Louisiana over video conference, and can translate technical jargon into plain language without losing nuance. - Data‑curious: you regularly run queries in Tableau or PowerBI and can articulate what a 5‑point lift in the “average time on task” metric means for a 7th‑grade science module. - A collaborative communicator: you’ll be the bridge between product engineers, content writers, and the front‑line tutoring team, ensuring every voice is heard. **Tools & tech you’ll be using** (we count 10 core items): 1. Canvas LMS – for course publishing and learner tracking. 2. Blackboard – for district‑level integrations and compliance reporting. 3. Zoom – primary platform for live tutoring sessions and faculty training. 4. arenaflex Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides) – for collaborative curriculum drafting. 5. arenaflex Teams – for internal communication and knowledge‑base sharing. 6. Kahoot! & Socrative – to embed formative assessments that drive engagement. 7. PowerBI & Tableau – to build dashboards that surface student performance trends. 8. Asana – for sprint planning and task hand‑offs between content and product teams. 9. Slack – our real‑time chat hub where tutors post quick wins and roadblocks. 10. Salesforce Education Cloud – to manage district contracts, renewal dates, and SLA compliance. **Team & culture** You’ll report directly to our Director of Learning Experience, who previously taught high‑school physics in New Orleans, Louisiana before moving into ed‑tech. The Learning Experience squad comprises five curriculum designers, three data analysts, and a rotating group of 30‑plus freelance academic tutors. Our weekly cadence includes a 15‑minute “win‑share” where any team member can shout out a small victory—like a tutor reporting that a student finally grasped linear equations after a targeted intervention. It’s a habit that keeps morale high and reminds us that we’re all educators at heart. **A human moment** > “I just got a text from a 9th‑grader in New Orleans, Louisiana saying, ‘I finally get why the quadratic formula works—thanks to the way you broke it down in our Zoom session.’ That’s why I love this job; the impact is immediate and personal.” – Maya Patel, Senior Academic Coach **What success looks like in the first 90 days** - Launch a revised Algebra II module that reduces average help‑ticket volume by 25 % within the first month, verified through Salesforce Education Cloud metrics. - Facilitate three instructor‑enablement workshops that achieve a minimum post‑session NPS of 9 out of 10. - Deliver a PowerBI‑driven report to the district education office in New Orleans, Louisiana that highlights a 5‑point increase in student engagement for the newest science unit. **Compensation & benefits** - Salary range: $80,000 – $95,000, commensurate with experience and certifications. - Full‑time, remote‑first role with a flexible schedule that still respects core hours (10 am–4 pm EST) for real‑time collaboration with our team in New Orleans, Louisiana. - 12 weeks of paid parental leave, 401(k) match up to 4 %, and a $2,000 annual professional‑development stipend (we’ll cover your next EdTech conference ticket). - Health, dental, and vision plans, plus a wellness allowance for home‑office ergonomics. **Why we love New Orleans, Louisiana** Even though the position is remote, we remain tied to the educational ecosystem of New Orleans, Louisiana. Our quarterly “Learning Labs” bring together district leaders, teachers, and BrightPath staff for a day of hands‑on workshops at the downtown community center. Being part of that local network gives us a pulse on the challenges teachers face and fuels the relevance of the content we create. **How to apply** If you’re ready to blend your classroom expertise with cutting‑edge ed‑tech, send us: 1. A résumé that highlights your experience designing curriculum for digital platforms. 2. A one‑page cover letter that tells a story of a time you helped a struggling learner achieve a breakthrough. 3. Two references—preferably one from a former district administrator in New Orleans, Louisiana and one from a peer tutor or professor. All materials should be uploaded to our Careers portal by 11:59 pm PST on the closing date (see the posting). We’ll review applications on a rolling basis, and qualified candidates will be invited to a 30‑minute video chat with our hiring manager, followed by a 90‑minute teaching‑demo session where you’ll walk us through a lesson plan you’ve created. **Closing note** At BrightPath, we believe that remote education doesn’t have to feel remote. By bringing your deep pedagogical knowledge and data‑driven mindset into a team that values concrete impact over buzzwords, you’ll help shape the future of personalized learning for thousands of students—many of whom live right here in New Orleans, Louisiana.
