What are the typical challenges faced by professionals in Language Access roles?

Professionals in Language Access roles often encounter challenges such as managing the nuances of dialects, adapting to rapidly changing service requests, and ensuring accuracy under time pressure. They may also deal with emotionally charged or sensitive situations, especially when working in healthcare, legal, or emergency settings. Balancing multiple assignments and maintaining confidentiality are essential aspects of the role. Successfully overcoming these challenges requires flexibility, a strong commitment to accuracy, and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a cross-functional team.

Excellent interpersonal, cultural competency, and problem-solving skills help professionals navigate diverse client needs and complex communication situations.

2-Year Role: Technology Use Guidance & Multilingual Language Access Implementation
This is a 2-year, capacity-building position designed to address a critical system need.
The role focuses on advancing districtwide coherence and robust implementation in two key areas:
  • Technology Use Guidance (districtwide launch August 2026)
  • Multilingual Language Access (aligned to the District Language Access Plan)

This position combines school-embedded instructional partnership (approx. 80%) with system-level design and resource development (approx. 20%), ensuring that classroom practice and district strategy are tightly aligned. This role is critical as Hopkins launches districtwide Technology Use Guidance and strengthens multilingual language access in response to community priorities.
Purpose Statement:
This role exists to strengthen how technology is used to support learning, language development, student well-being and equitable access in our learning environments through both classroom practice and systemwide alignment.
The Technology Integration Specialist (TIS) serves as a coach, designer and system translator, partnering with educators, leaders and district teams to:
  • Implement and operationalize Hopkins' Technology Use Guidance in ways that are developmentally appropriate, instructionally meaningful and consistently applied across classrooms and schools
  • Integrate technology to amplify multilingual learner voice, language development and communication access for students and families
  • Design and support rigorous, inclusive and language-accessible learning experiences aligned to the Hopkins Learning Framework

This role is essential to ensuring that technology use across Hopkins is intentional, research-informed, developmentally appropriate and consistently implemented across the system. It supports the districtwide direction toward active, meaningful learning experiences, addressing community concerns while strengthening student engagement, safety, well-being and outcomes.
The TIS and team builds shared understanding, coherence and confidence across staff, students and caregivers setting the conditions for educators and leaders to implement Technology Use Guidance and multilingual language access with fidelity in instructional decision-making alongside clear and consistent communications about technology use in service of learning with the broader Hopkins community.
You may be a strong fit if you
  • Have deep elementary instructional expertise
  • Use technology intentionally to support language development and communication access with multilingual/ESL/immersion learners
  • Thrive in job-embedded coaching (co-planning, modeling, responsive in-the-moment support)
  • Can translate classroom practice into scalable systems and resources
  • Can lead and support implementation of systemwide instructional guidance with clarity, consistency and responsiveness across diverse invested parties
  • Are energized by building coherence across classrooms, schools and district initiatives
  • Approach technology use as an instructional and equity practice, not a toolset
  • Design professional learning that leads to sustained changes in educator practice

2-Year Role Focus & Deliverables
Over the two-year term, this role will:
Year 1: Implementation & Alignment
  • Support rollout of Technology Use Guidance
  • Build staff capacity to use multilingual and accessibility tools appropriately and effectively
  • Partner with ML and site teams to strengthen Tier 1 language access practices
  • Advance TIS collaborations and deliverables

Year 2: Coherence & Sustainability
  • Develop and refine districtwide resources, exemplars, communications and professional learning sequences
  • Strengthen consistency in language-accessible instructional practices across sites
  • Support long-term integration of technology use and language access into core instructional practice
  • Advance TIS collaborations and deliverables

Success in this role means:
  • Increased staff and community trust overall coherence around technology use for learning in schools
  • Increased staff confidence and consistency in using technology to support multilingual learners
  • Improved access for families and students through aligned language access practices
  • Clear, scalable systems that outlast the position
  • Advanced TIS system impact

Position Available:
We are seeking a Technology Integration Specialist with expertise in elementary education, intentional technology use and multilingual language access to strengthen systemwide implementation of district priorities.
  • This role focuses on translating Technology Use Guidance, multilingual learner priorities, and the District Language Access Plan into consistent, technology-enabled effective classroom and school day-to-day practices.
  • The position emphasizes an Elementary and Multilingual specialization, while serving holistically as a member of the TIS team.
  • This role partners closely with the cross-functional Technology Use Guidance Task Group and TIS team to implement districtwide Technology Use Guidance with high levels of systemwide coherence.

Key Responsibilities:
1. Classroom Implementation & Instructional Coaching
  • Partner with multilingual/EL/immersion educators, classroom teachers, and support staff to implement high-leverage, technology-supported instructional strategies that advance language development, student agency, and academic success

  • Support educators in designing learning experiences that allow students to express thinking and understanding across multiple languages and modalities
  • Provide responsive, in-the-moment instructional support during learning, including use of accessibility features, multilingual tools, and district-approved supports
  • Collaborate with teachers and caregivers to support effective use of district 1:1 devices and integrated technology tools to enhance language access, comprehension, and communication
  • Support implementation of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) practices to reduce linguistic barriers and increase equitable access for multilingual learners

2. Language Access Systems & Technology Use Guidance
  • Partner with site and district teams to support implementation of the District Language Access Plan in alignment with Hopkins Technology Use Guidance
  • Support staff in using integrated technology tools to expand Tier 1 language access for students and families in consistent, developmentally appropriate ways
  • Build staff understanding of ethical, effective, and compliant use of translation, interpretation, and district-approved AI-supported tools, including when human support is required for high-stakes communication
  • Collaborate with Technology Integration Specialists (TIS), Digital Learning Specialists (DLS), Innovation, Design & Learning (IDL), Information Services, and Multilingual teams to ensure coherence and consistency in technology use and language access practices across the system
  • Increase visibility, consistency, and adoption of language-supportive technology practices that strengthen family engagement, student participation, and access to learning

3. District Leadership & Capacity Building
  • Serve as a district instructional leader supporting aligned, consistent implementation of Technology Use Guidance and multilingual language access across elementary learning environments
  • Maintain current knowledge of language access requirements and multilingual education practices, supporting systemwide compliance with state and federal expectations in partnership with instructional and operational teams
  • Support strategic alignment of developmentally appropriate elementary multilingual tools and resources with instructional goals, student needs, and district priorities
  • Design, develop, and contribute to districtwide resources, exemplars, and professional learning that build educator capacity for effective, inclusive technology integration
