We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Associate, Instructional Design (Hausa Language)

Location: Lagos

Description
Instructional Design:

• The Instructional Design department produces the learning materials that are used in our schools across our communities.
• This department has team members based in multiple NewGlobe 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. Consistent, rigorous opportunities to refine his or her skills are crucial to a child’s learning progression.
• The Instructional Design department structures all lessons, textbooks, and other materials to ensure this.

About the Role

• As an Instructional Design Associate, you join a team working to make a difference in the world. In the markets we serve, the number of pupils attending school is soaring, but the quality of most schools, according to international experts, is low.
• Writers join our Instructional Design department to invest time in producing quality learning materials to improve thousands of children’s daily academic experience.
• One core tenet of our approach to instruction at NewGlobe is providing extensive opportunities for pupil practice.
• That is, we’re trying to make the pupil experience less “rote.” We create “teacher guides” (daily lesson plans delivered by e-reader), textbooks, and other materials as a means to improving learning gains among pupils.
• We also create innovative resources for learning outside the classroom, in the form of radio programs, digital storybooks, activity packs, and downloadable learning guides.

What You Will Do:

• Translate and edit English courses into Hausa language courses for primary school pupils
