With approximately 50,000 students from over 114 different countries, nearly 9,000 employees (including 4,800 teachers) and an annual budget of $1.1 billion, BPS is the largest school district in Massachusetts and one of the most diverse as well. About half of all BPS students are from a multilingual household. Job Description: Boston Public Schools seeks an exceptional and dynamic team of Multilingual Instructional Coaches (MIC) to support the new Office of Multilingual and Multicultural Education (OMME) - formerly the Office of English Learners. We are excited to re-vision the work of the new office inclusive of our priorities in serving our leaders and teachers with direct support at schools. Shifting the office’s primary focus from compliance to one that also focuses on quality teaching and learning will have a direct benefit and impact on our students' growth, schooling experience and future outcomes. The new Office of Multilingual and Multicultural Education (OMME) envisions that all multilingual learners feel a sense of belonging, joy for learning in a healing-centered learning environment so that they have the opportunity to be academically proficient in their home language and English and to graduate with the Seal of Biliteracy. In order to shift our work toward this vision, the office will center a multicultural framework with a social justice lens to address systemic racism and systems of power in all forms that perpetuate inequities for multilingual learners, their families and communities from anti-blackness, colorism, xenophobia, linguicism/glottophobia, islamophobia, implicit and explicit bias, bigotry of low-expectations, nativist microaggressions, colonizer language dominance, indigenous and spoken vs. written language access, language loss, refugee status and linguistic imperialism.

Individually and collectively, Multilingual Instructional Coaches (MIC) will serve as catalysts of change for the new Office of Multilingual and Multicultural Education (OMME) in the BPS towards a new strategic vision centering the focus of the office on teaching and learning, increasing native language access and instruction, and supporting Multilingual program schools and teachers. The district is committed to accelerating instructional change to ensure all Multilingual learners are independent learners who are prepared to pursue their interests and become effective agents of change for themselves, their families, and their communities. The Multilingual Instructional Coaches (MIC) will work with central office departments and the leadership at the school to provide school-level support to ensure that acceleration of academic achievement and opportunity occurs for every Multilingual learner in their school through high-quality implementation of materials, curriculum, professional development in both English and native language(s).
