The Lehman College Adult Learning Center has been offering high-quality instruction in English for Speakers of Other Languages, Adult Basic Education, and High School Equivalency preparation for adults from local communities since 1988. As a direct-service program of the Institute for Literacy Studies (ILS), a research and professional-development organization based at Lehman College, The City University of New York (CUNY), the ALC combines thoughtful pedagogy with a deep commitment to supporting teachers and students. The ALC is part of a network of adult education programs based at campuses throughout CUNY, and is highly regarded for its innovative, collaborative approaches to instruction, curriculum development, staff development, and program management.

In addition, the Project Director contributes to ILS long-range planning and policy development; collaborates with staff to develop new initiatives and support existing ones; and coordinates the writing of grant requests and reports.
 
Candidates should have:
  • A strong background in adult and/or young adult literacy education in both classroom instruction and program management (minimum of five years’ combined experience).
  • Expertise and extensive experience in at least three of the following areas: adult literacy pedagogy and theory; staff development; program and fund development; financial management; staff supervision; administrative and office system oversight.
  • Familiarity with local and national issues in literacy education and policy.
  • Strong communication, organizational, and technology skills.
