Collaborate with internal subject matter experts to understand multilingual learner needs and research findings related to early literacy, early mathematics (K-5), and pre-kindergarten (pre-K) instructional materials, and translate this learning into clear, audience-appropriate communications.
Develop and draft high-quality written materials (e.g., briefs, blogs, FAQs, presentations, talking points, web content) that translate research, pilot findings, and EdReports’ review methodologies for practitioners, partners, and the broader field.
Support the field-facing rollout and communications of strengthened MLL review components, including foundational skills pilots, early math reviews, and pre-K materials, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and alignment with EdReports’ voice and values.
Partner with cross-functional colleagues to understand the needs and experiences of key stakeholders (e.g., school system leaders, educator reviewers, partner organizations) and synthesize insights to inform communications and related materials.
Support planning and facilitation of partner engagement activities (e.g., listening sessions, briefings, webinars, or convenings) in collaboration with cross-functional colleagues.
Contribute to organizational communications efforts aligned to EdReports’ strategic plan, including thought leadership, report usability, and field-facing messaging that strengthens EdReports’ influence and trust.
Partner with the Academic Office to support clear, consistent communications related to publisher engagement, as needed.
Manage assigned communications workstreams and deliverables, tracking progress, deadlines, and dependencies.
