Educational Content Developer: Alliance for Decision Education - Brynmawr, Blaenau Gwent, United Kingdom - Bryn Mawr College
Description
The Alliance for Decision Education ("the Alliance") is a non-profit education organization leading the growing call to have decision-making skills taught in schools across the country by 2030. Increasingly, teachers, parents, and business leaders all are advocating for students to be trained on how to make sound choices; improving their lives and those of others around them. We are dedicated to the belief that better decisions lead to better lives and a better society. Our mission is to improve lives by empowering students with essential decision skills. For more information, please visit .
The Alliance for Decision Education is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of age, citizenship, color, disability, gender (expression or identity), marital status, military or veteran status, parental status, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other non-merit factor. Moreover, we celebrate diversity, promote equity, and encourage inclusivity for our team.
The Role:
Reporting to the Director of Education and working closely with other members of the Education Department, the Educational Content Developer (ECD) will create a broad range of instructional materials related to Decision Education. Decision Education is focused on teaching students the skills, concepts, and dispositions that will help them become effective decision-makers. The ECD will focus on STEM-related Decision Education concepts (e.g. probabilistic thinking, forecasting, and expected value) and will work to integrate Decision Education content and skills into STEM curricula, standards, and assessments. The ECD will have the opportunity to dive into an emerging field and use their existing expertise and creativity to make a lasting social impact.
The position will be remote initially, but we would strongly prefer that the ECD mainly work from the Alliance office in Bala Cynwyd, PA, once the organization deems it safe to return to the office. That said, we will consider long-term remote work for exceptional candidates. Occasional travel may be expected once it is deemed safe.
Core Responsibilities:
Qualifications:
We seek an experienced and innovative educator and/or educational content developer with a desire to learn about a new field and the ability to produce top-notch instructional materials. Qualifications of ideal candidates include:
Experience
General Attributes
Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. Alliance employees receive a comprehensive benefits package (including health and dental insurance completely covered for you and your family, a 401k with up to 5% match, and long term disability insurance), generous paid time off and sick-time policies, a laptop, and other tools and resources to help employees do their best work.
Please email your resume, cover letter (stating minimum salary requirements and where you learned about the job opportunity), and at least three examples of instructional materials you have developed to by May 31, 2021.
