The Role
Playlab seeks a Learning Partner to join our growing Learning team. This role supports schools across New York City as they use Playlab to build their capacity to understand, use, and design AI systems that suit their context.
You will be responsible for building deep, trusted relationships with schools and educators; designing and facilitating high-impact professional learning experiences; and coaching educators as they integrate AI into their daily practice.
This work spans across AI literacy (for both educators and students), strategic AI adoption, and partner-defined success. Whether a school is focused on building student agency with AI, accelerating educator fluency, or transforming systems through custom tools, you’ll help them navigate the journey.
You’ll also bring insights from the field back to our team-shaping how we improve our software, learning materials, and partnership models to better serve schools. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone excited to help define the future of AI in NYC education.
What You’ll Do
- Lead Playlab implementation across NYC schools, ensuring partners have the support they need to meet their unique goals, whether focused on AI literacy, instructional transformation, or operational innovation.
- Design and deliver high-quality professional learning, including school-based trainings, PLCs, and coaching experiences that build educator capacity in both AI literacy and app-building with Playlab.
- Support AI literacy for both educators and students by guiding partners in planning, deploying, and refining learning experiences aligned to emerging standards and school priorities.
- Coach and co-design with educators and school teams, helping them create AI tools and learning experiences that align with their pedagogy, curricula, and school context.
- Support strategic AI adoption at the system level, working with school and district leaders to identify high-leverage entry points for AI across teaching, learning, and operations.
- Serve as a trusted partner to school and district leaders-facilitating goal setting, success planning, and change management as they scale their work with Playlab.
- Bring insights from the field back to the Playlab team to help improve learning resources, platform features, and partnership strategy.
You Might Be a Fit If You
- Have experience working in or with K-12 schools-especially in NYC-and care deeply about equity, innovation, and educator empowerment.
- Are a skilled facilitator who knows how to lead engaging, inclusive, and outcomes-driven adult learning experiences.
- Are passionate about helping educators and students not only use AI-but understand it, critique it, and create with it.
- Have coached educators or supported school teams in implementing new instructional tools or practices.
- Are a relationship-builder who can navigate complex school systems and build trust across diverse contexts.
- Are flexible, strategic, and thrive in fast-paced, mission-driven work.
- Are confident using and explaining AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or other LLM-powered applications-and understand how to align them with instructional values.
Bonus Points for
- Former NYC educator, coach, or school/district leader
- Experience leading large-scale instructional technology or PD initiatives
- Familiarity with Playlab or similar AI literacy tools and platforms
- Experience supporting both student- and adult-facing AI initiatives
- Bilingual (especially Spanish/English)
- Strong network across NYC schools, districts, or education nonprofits
