The Rhode Island School of Design is in search of a Bilingual Education Consultant to become a vital part of its Center for Arts & Language (A&L). This role is designed for a language education expert who will primarily focus on supporting RISD's diverse international and multilingual student population. A&L is dedicated to enhancing students' language skills and effectiveness through peer tutoring in various forms of communication, guidance for multilingual learners, and a wide array of workshops and digital resources. A&L fosters an environment where all languages are embraced and champions the narratives of artists and designers, encouraging significant contributions to academic, community, and public discussions.

Together with the Associate Director, the consultant will act as a knowledgeable, critical, and asset-focused advocate for cultural and linguistic diversity, actively sharing insights with community members, including A&L tutors and faculty, to promote a deeper understanding and practice of teaching and learning within a multilingual educational framework.

As an employer, RISD provides a supportive, collaborative, and inclusive work atmosphere, along with a competitive benefits package.
