Bilingual Content Creator, Khan Academy Kids (24 months fixed-term)

Khan Academy Kids is looking for an early childhood educator and learning-content developer to build and strengthen learning activities and assessments for children in PreK through 2nd grade.

Working on a small, interdisciplinary team alongside product managers, engineers, designers, and academic experts, the Content Creator will identify gaps in our content library, create and revise learning experiences in English and Spanish, and improve the systems that support content development. Content spans bilingual (English and Spanish) learning activities and direct assessments across early literacy, language, math, and executive function.

We are looking for someone who understands how young children learn, is energized by using data to make content better, and cares deeply about making early learning both rigorous and fun.

This is a fixed-term position with an expected term of 24 months.

• Author high-quality, standards-aligned learning activities and assessment items in English and Spanish for PreK through 2nd grade, using subject-matter expertise and knowledge of early-learning standards (e.g., Head Start ELOF, Common Core, state PreK standards)
• Map content coverage across the Khan Academy Kids library, building crosswalks that connect practice activities to assessments and identifying gaps in coverage
• Revise and improve existing assessments based on direct child assessment data and psychometric analyses
• Author and test new assessment items with children and educators in classroom settings
• Learn and leverage Khan Academy Kids' content-authoring infrastructure, and partner with product and engineering to improve authoring tooling and workflows
• Coordinate with creative teams on asset and audio requests, and improve audio-generation and quality-assurance processes
• Serve as an editorial reviewer for new and existing content in both English and Spanish
