Steps for Interviewing
Amplify Professional Learning Specialist Applicants
2027 PLS Hiring will begin in spring of 2027.

Step 1: Review the PLS Flipbook
Amplify Professional Learning Specialists (PLS) will be responsible for facilitating high-quality professional development (PD) to teachers and school leaders, ensuring educators feel confident taking steps to implement our programs and ultimately drive student success.
Please read the PLS flipbook to ensure you have a clear understanding of the role and ensure this is the right fit for you. These details are captured in pages 16 – 33 of the flipbook.
Several key PLS responsibilities are highlighted below:
- Delivering remote and onsite professional development for approximately 30-40 educators per session during the summer season (May – September 2026), possibly longer.
- Must be available to be scheduled during normal school hours (Monday–Friday) in all U.S. time zones.
- Must be available an average of three days per week on Monday through Friday from July 13–August 21. Three consecutive days is strongly recommended as it will potentially lead to more onsite delivery opportunities.
- PLSs who are current educators and returning to full-time roles at school/districts must have a return to work date after August 21st.
- Traveling via car, plane, and/or public transportation, sometimes with minimal advance notice and including overnight stay at hotels.
- Paying all travel-related expenses in advance, with reimbursements being processed 2-3 weeks following submission of the expense reimbursement requests.
