Position Summary: Bank Street Education Center seeks a School Design & AI Senior Coach to support schools and educational partners in rethinking teaching, learning, and school design through the thoughtful integration of artificial intelligence and responsive design.

This role sits at the intersection of school design, instructional innovation, leadership development, responsive design, and responsible AI implementation.
