New Globe supports visionary governments in transforming public education systems, the cornerstone of a prosperous, equitable, and peaceful society. In doing so, New Globe ensures that all children have access to an education that will develop their full potential and create a foundation for growth and prosperity.

New Globe leverages more than a decade of educational experience and proven impact in integrated school management, teacher professional development, instructional design innovation, technological system support, child-centered classroom practice, and parent engagement -- all grounded in learning science -- to ensure each teacher is empowered to engage children in transformational learning, and all children have the opportunity to develop to their full potential.

New Globe works within state and national curricula and syllabi, ensuring all children can learn their own history, and master local content, while being globally competitive in mathematics and languages.

New Globe’s work is all encompassing and will challenge you to use your full mind and heart each day. We need bright minds who want to be part of building a new globe -- a more equitable globe -- to join us. New Globe is honored to serve and to help rebuild trust in public systems.

The Instructional Design department produces the learning materials that are used in schools across the communities where we work. This department has team members based in multiple New Globe support offices, organized into teams that each work on a portfolio of projects. Driving student achievement through the development of rigorous content is the number one priority. One core tenet of the approach is less lecture (traditional among many schools in our markets) and more student practice and teacher feedback.

Consistent, rigorous opportunities to refine knowledge and skills are crucial to a child’s learning progression. The Instructional Design department structures all lessons, textbooks, and other materials to ensure this.

The elementary maths content writer will work with a small team to:

• Improve existing instructional materials for our global maths course using pupil performance data and lesson observations.
• Develop new context-specific course modules that meet unique government objectives not covered by our global course. This entails analyzing government syllabi and textbooks, designing the modules’ scope and sequence, and scripting lesson plans that teach the content in an effective, age-appropriate, and culturally appropriate manner.
• Publish printed classroom materials to aid in math instruction.

The work is complex and changes frequently. Team members must be flexible and willing to do tasks outside this official scope in order to successfully complete given projects.

• Two to five years of teaching experience in an elementary or middle school math / science
• Experience in writing unit and lesson plans
• Experience in data-informed decision making
• Bachelor’s degree in mathematics, science or education

• Ability to explain new concepts simply, clearly, and concisely in writing
• Excellent organizational skills, time management, and attention to detail
• Ability to learn new content, systems, and processes quickly and independently
• Strong command of English grammar and writing conventions
• Ability to communicate clearly and positively, both verbally and in writing

• Commitment to pragmatism and flexibility – finding and doing what works for pupils and teachers in the contexts we work in – rather than ideological commitment to specific ideas about teaching and learning
• Curiosity and deep interest in learning new things in all aspects of our work
• Comfort with the idea of writing scripts for teachers to teach from

• Opportunity for impact
  :
  The Instructional Design department as a whole directly impacts the experiences of approximately two million children. Any one lesson you write may be used to teach hundreds of thousands of them. There are not many opportunities in education with the potential to positively impact so many.
