Instructional Designer, 2 Hour Learning

About the Role: Instructional Designer, 2 Hour Learning

Do you possess the ability to identify fine distinctions in a Shakespearean sonnet or analyze the phonetic components of a word with precision? Consider applying that language and literature knowledge alongside advanced AI to transform how millions of students develop proficiency in language and literature. At 2 Hour Learning, we're not simply designing the future of English education—we're building it as an immersive, adaptive learning journey.

We're looking for a forward-thinking individual to spearhead our initiative in reshaping English and Language Arts education through sophisticated data analysis, creative AI integration, and extensive subject matter knowledge. Your objective? To double the rate at which students acquire language concepts and literary analysis skills, spanning from foundational phonics to sophisticated literary criticism.

At 2 Hour Learning, we're redefining K-12 education with undeniable outcomes. Our AI-powered learning ecosystem is reshaping how students engage with content, allowing them to master subjects at double the pace of conventional schooling. We're not adjusting the system; we're reconstructing it entirely, and we have the evidence to validate its effectiveness. Students on our platform routinely achieve 4s and 5s on five or more AP exams, exhibit more than two year's growth on annual MAP assessments, and exceed their own expectations of what they can accomplish.

What You Will Be Doing
