I’m looking for a non-classroom role where I can use my experience in education, learning systems, programme delivery and people support. I’m especially interested in L&D, EdTech, implementation, customer or student success, programme coordination and project roles, ideally in a remote or internationally flexible team.

Kendra Anderson
@kendraanderson
Learning and development professional facilitating multilingual learning and adapting literacy programmes.
What I'm looking for
At Beijing Mingcheng Foreign Language School, I facilitate Grade 7 Readers and Writers Workshop programmes using the Lucy Calkins framework, adapting units and resources for multilingual learners. I also deliver structured oral communication programmes for Years 6 and 8 and use learner work and participation data to inform programme adjustments.
At Beanstalk International Bilingual School (BIBS) - Huairou, I designed learning resources, assessment supports and programmes for multilingual secondary learners completing Ontario curriculum courses. I was selected to pilot Flint AI, contributing to a 60% increase in engagement and independent task completion, and introduced AI-supported learning processes that increased on-time coursework completion by 20%.
At Beijing International Bilingual Academy, I coordinated Renaissance learning systems for 868 learners and 49 staff across multiple campuses. I facilitated staff development on assessment data and system use, contributing to an increase in reading comprehension from 32% to 56%.
Across my education and programme coordination work, I’ve developed standardised resources that reduced staff preparation time by 20% and helped reduce departmental programme expenditure by 75% while maintaining quality. I bring experience in learning design, training facilitation, programme coordination and learning operations across multicultural organisations.
