As a staff, we are committed to supporting teachers in both individual and professional development, and have embarked on a deep exploration of equity and privilege across both our staff and school.

For the 2026-27 academic year, we are seeking an experienced and talented educator to fill a PART or FULL-time MLL teaching/coordination position. This position requires a Rhode Island secondary MLL or ESOL certification, or eligibility to acquire it.

Our public charter high school serves 350 students from three cities, Central Falls, Pawtucket, and Providence, RI who are admitted through a blind lottery.

Our school is incredibly diverse, and students are challenged to excel in our rigorous and supportive environment. Candidates should be seeking a position in a collaborative, innovative educational environment focused on college preparation and community improvement. They should be comfortable developing curricula and integrating our High Quality Curriculum (HMH Into Math/Lit), working closely with colleagues, and should have a strong understanding of all the relevant Common Core State Standards. As Blackstone Academy is an Essential School, applicants should be familiar with the Coalition of Essential Schools philosophy and guiding principles. Blackstones faculty and staff consciously integrate social-emotional learning into the curriculum so applicants should have a firm understanding of the importance and power of social-emotional learning. The candidate hired for this role will be responsible for coordinating the MLL programming at our school.

Duties will include:

(1) providing the required services and supports for our (approximately) 80 MLLs (skills range from Newcomers to Monitor status), (2) maintaining and updating the

census, (3) administering ACCESS testing and (4) supporting teachers of MLLs with strategies and professional development. In addition, the candidate will assist Blackstone Academy administrators to ensure compliance with the forthcoming (2030-31) Rhode Island MLL regulations. In addition to MLL teaching/coordination, this teacher may also be an advisor, depending on the needs of the school and the interest of the candidate. Blackstones robust advisory system is a central component of our program. Advisories meet twice daily and the advisor is the primary guide for advisees/parents through our course requirements and portfolio system. The Blackstone advisor helps students stay on track to graduate and develop the important social emotional skills necessary to succeed in whatever their chosen path. Competitive salary commensurate with years of experience. Interested applicants should identify themselves to Kyleen Carpenter, Head of School. Blackstone is an EOE and we strongly encourage applications from a diverse candidate pool. Our teachers must be committed to understanding and working with a diverse student body, as many of our families are recent immigrants from around the globe. In addition, we primarily serve low-income families, so all candidates must possess an awareness of how poverty can impact families and students, and candidates must be ready to work to eliminate the educational inequities that a poverty background might create.
