Design and develop appropriate digital and print ready curriculum materials such as subject syllabuses, teacher guides, and resources. This could include, for example, undertaking relevant international benchmarking exercises; developing a skills framework and strategies supporting schools to infuse 21st century values, skills and competencies into their local curriculum; developing progress maps or scope and sequence charts; and curating online resources.
Design and develop appropriate digital and print ready assessment materials such as formative and summative assessments. This could include, for example, highlighting effective assessment practices and resources consistent with best practice principles; supporting teachers to design inclusive assessments; engaging schools in adaptive assessment tools and processes; and supporting schools in their data collection and analysis processes.
Prepare and conduct small- and large-scale research studies and build an evidence base of effective practice for schools in relation to curriculum, standards, pedagogy, and so on. This could include for example, undertaking research and literature reviews of high performing systems and schools to establish benchmarks of performance; designing and conducting desktop document reviews, surveys and interviews; and collecting, analysing and reporting on quantitative and qualitative data.
Provide strategic and operational leadership in delivering key projects to a high quality, agreed timelines and within budget. This could include for example, preparing plans of action; mobilising available resources; managing budgets; recruiting, coordinating and supporting teams of experts; overseeing quality assurance and approval processes; consulting with key stakeholders; and preparing progress reports with recommendations for improvement.
Support leadership teams with their self-evaluation and improvement strategies. This could include for example, enhancing schools’ data identification, collection and analysis processes; supporting staff to interrogate available and potentially valid student and school performance data to better inform their decision-making; and contributing to the review and formulation of corporate plans, strategic initiatives and governance arrangements.
Support the development of individuals and groups as teachers, managers, leaders and facilitators in identified areas of need. This could include for example, coordinating mentorship programs; building capacity through individual and confidential support and coaching; designing and conducting relevant professional learning programs; and facilitating the sharing of successful practices between schools, leaders and teachers via networks as communities of practice.
