Job Description
The Literacy Project is seeking an Instructor for an Evening Intermediate Level (pre-High School Equivalency) class, to be offered remotely. This position is funded for 10 hours/week and lasts for the duration of the 2026-27 school year. The Instructor is responsible for planning and teaching a 4-hour online pre-HSE class, two evenings each week, 6-8PM, to adults and out-of-school youth, integrating academic skills with student goals, career readiness, and computer literacy. The Instructor will prepare students to advance into the high school equivalency class, covering math, reading, writing, science and social studies at the pre-HSE level (grade level equivalent 5-8). Additional responsibilities include recordkeeping, student assessment, and collaboration with the Advisor to ensure student success. The Instructor participates in The Literacy Project's monthly staff meetings, weekly case management meetings, and staff development opportunities. The position includes evening hours (for teaching) and some daytime hours for staff meetings and teacher collaboration. While the Online Instructor will primarily work and teach online, the position requires a limited number of in-person meetings in the Greenfield / Amherst / Northampton area. Desired qualifications include demonstrated knowledge and experience teaching pre-HSE level curriculum to under-educated adults and youth, and newcomer and immigrant populations, in an online format, using a student-centered approach. Experience teaching advanced English Language Learners strongly preferred. Experience with evidence-based instruction, lesson planning, curriculum development, online teaching, student assessment, and computer literacy is strongly desired. Applicants should have excellent communication and team work skills, be proficient in an online learning environment, and have a strong commitment to the mission of The Literacy Project. Applications will be considered until the position is filled. To apply for this position, please submit a resume and cover letter to the Executive Director Colleen Kucinski at jobs@literacyproject.org. A background screening/CORI is required for this position. The Literacy Project is an EOE/ADA employer. Diverse candidates are encouraged to apply.
