Instructional Designer

The Instructional Designer/Partner will play a pivotal role in enhancing the school's educational framework by conducting a comprehensive assessment of the existing curriculum and resources. Through on-field investigations, interviews, and document analysis, the Designer will generate a detailed Curriculum Assessment Report, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement. 

In collaboration with the school and head coach, the Designer will then lead the development of a structured curriculum, encompassing introductory content, scope and sequence, activities, materials, and assessments. This process will be complemented by the creation of Training of Trainers (TOT) materials, ensuring a seamless integration of instructional strategies.

Furthermore, the Designer will work closely with the school to enrich, consolidate, and align both content and TOT resources. This phase involves coaching the school in content development and refining training materials, including presentations, lesson plans, and assessment tools. It is pivotal to explain that we are adopting a grassroots model. Thus, we are not expecting the Instructional Designer to parachute content on school but rather to co-create based on their own experiences.

As part of ongoing support, the Designer will supervise training sessions, employing a designated rubric for assessment. This oversight, coupled with continuous coaching, aims to facilitate the school in implementing the new curriculum effectively. Additionally, the Designer will offer guidance and professional development opportunities to teachers and staff involved in the delivery process.

Throughout the project, the Designer will maintain a dynamic approach, modifying and adapting the curriculum and Professional Development Guide based on feedback and emerging best practices. This role requires a dedicated professional with expertise in curriculum design, instructional strategies, and a proactive approach to educational enhancement.
