Primary Math Curriculum Lead

1 week ago

Cape Town, South Africa Rising Academies Full time

**The context**:
Across the developing world, more children than ever are in school - but they are not learning. A recent study estimated that less than 1% of school children in Sub-Saharan Africa attend a school where the teaching meets basic standards of quality. At Rising Academies, we’re changing that, and we want your help. Our mission is to create the best schools and the most powerful teaching and learning tools for the people that need it most. We’re one of the fastest-growing quality-focused education companies in Africa, and a Certified B Corp®.

**About us**:
We own and operate our own great value private schools, partner with governments to improve the quality of public school systems, and use our content and technology to help other education providers. Founded in Sierra Leone in 2014, we provided emergency education to children kept out of school by the Ebola Epidemic before opening our first school in April 2015. Today, we serve more than 250,000 students across more than 900 schools in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana and now Rwanda.

Through great curriculum, intensive teacher coaching and actionable data, we help teachers and school leaders bring quality to every classroom. And we get results: independent studies show Rising students make more than twice the progress of their peers in comparable schools.

**About the role**:
**The Primary Math Curriculum Lead will**:

- Execute Rising’s curriculum strategy in line with achieving our organisational mission.
- Develop the vision for our Math Curriculum at primary level for Rising Academy Network.
- Design a six year curriculum map for math at primary level that results in consistent, high quality, and relevant lessons for our school partners.
- Create effective assessments that track progress against suitable curriculum benchmarks.
- Ensure the curriculum map is aligned with relevant national standards.
- Manage a team of Math Curriculum writers to develop detailed lesson guides.
- Ensure the quality of math content developed across the curriculum is the applicable level for each grade.
- Ensure that Rising’s commitment to safeguarding is reflected in our curriculum.

**Location and reporting**:
This is a full-time position. There is a preference for the role to be based in one of our operating countries, however it could also be a remote position. This role will report to Rising's Head of Curriculum.

**Application deadline**:
**Requirements**:
**Qualifications and Experience**:

- Bachelor's degree in a relevant field.
- 5+ years of professional experience in teaching or curriculum / content creation.
- Experience developing Math Curriculum at primary level, preferably in multicultural settings.
- Expertise in developing and implementing assessment tools to measure student performance and curriculum effectiveness in math.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to convey complex mathematical concepts to diverse audiences.
- Experience managing a team to deliver results.

**About You**:

- You are a forward-thinking education professional with the ability to envision and design a primary Math Curriculum.
- You have a strong understanding of current curriculum standards, teaching strategies, and assessment tools across Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and/or Rwanda.
- Your exceptional communication skills enable you to articulate complex mathematical concepts clearly and concisely, fostering understanding among diverse audiences.
- You enjoy being part of a team working together to ensure outstanding outcomes for students across multiple countries in Africa.
- You take initiative and problem-solve when challenges arise.
- You are willing to take risks, fail, learn, give and receive feedback, and try new approaches.
- You take an interest in Math Curriculum at a global as well as local level, staying up to date with the latest educational research and methodologies, enriching the curriculum with up-to-date and country specific insights.
- You are passionate about improving the quality of education across Africa.

**Benefits**

**Compensation and Benefits**:
We offer a competitive salary and benefits package. We regularly benchmark our compensation against comparable businesses, social ventures and non-profits.

Rising’s goal is to be transparent about salaries at all levels of the organisation and have a standard, global pay scale for all positions that is non-negotiable.

The benefits we offer are built to have a strong added value on our staff’s well-being and we are excited to discuss this further with you in the process.
