Role Summary

We are hiring a full-time SST Curriculum Developer to create CBSE & National Council of Educational Research and Training-aligned Social Studies content for book development (Classes K–7 / 1–7). The role requires strong expertise in school pedagogy, age-appropriate writing, and curriculum mapping, including NCF tagging (mapping content to NCF-aligned learning outcomes/competencies/curricular goals). This work is grounded in the NCF for School Education and NEP 2020 emphasis on competency-based and experiential learning.

Key Responsibilities

1) Curriculum & Content Development

- Develop SST book content for Classes K–7 / 1–7 (History, Geography, Civics, and integrated Social Science as applicable).
- Write student-friendly, grade-appropriate lessons with clear concept-building and storytelling where needed.
- Build chapter structures: introductions, key concepts, examples, activities, summaries, glossary, and end-of-chapter practice.

2) NCF Tagging & Curriculum Alignment

- Map each chapter/section to NCF-aligned curricular goals, competencies, and learning outcomes (NCF tagging).
- Ensure alignment with CBSE/NCERT expectations, including a learning-outcome driven approach.
- Maintain tagging documentation/taxonomy to ensure consistency across grades.

3) Pedagogy & Learning Methodologies

- Apply strong learning design practices: concept scaffolding, spiral progression, inquiry-based learning, activity-based learning, and formative assessment.
- Design competency-based checks (application/analysis tasks, not just recall), aligned with learning outcomes.
- Create inclusive, engaging learning experiences consistent with NEP’s focus on holistic and experiential learning.

4) Assessments, Activities & Teacher Support

- Create question banks across difficulty levels (MCQs, short/long answers, source-based, map-based, caselets).
- Develop classroom activities, projects, and worksheets with clear instructions and expected outputs.
- Draft teacher-facing support where required (teaching notes, answers, rubrics).

5) Collaboration & Quality

- Work with editors, designers, illustrators, and SMEs to finalize manuscripts.
- Ensure content accuracy, clarity, age appropriateness, and consistency in tone/style across the series.
- Incorporate review feedback and manage iterations efficiently.

Key Deliverables

- Detailed book manuscript per grade/term (as per project plan)
- NCF tagging sheet (chapter/lesson/outcome/competency mapping)
- Activity bank + assessment bank + answer keys
- Optional: teacher notes, rubrics, project guidelines

Required

Skills & Qualifications

- Strong understanding of CBSE/NCERT SST curriculum expectations and school textbook creation.

- Knowledge of NCF (latest framework orientation) and ability to implement NCF tagging/mapping.
- Clear grasp of learning outcomes and competency-based learning design.
- Excellent English writing + content structuring; strong research and fact-checking ability.
- Comfort with tools like MS Word/Google Docs and structured templates (tagging sheets, trackers).

Preferred (Good to Have)

- Prior experience creating NCERT-style school content, workbooks, or assessments.
- Familiarity with Bloom’s taxonomy, rubrics, and classroom activity design.
- Experience working with editorial workflows, version control via trackers, and multi-round reviews.
- Ability to develop content in Hindi/other Indian languages (if your project needs it).

Experience Level (Suggested)

- 1–5 years in school curriculum/textbook/content development (flexible for exceptional candidates).
- Subject background:
Social Science/SST, Education, Child Development, History/Geography/Political Science (or equivalent demonstrated work).
