    Description

    Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is the third largest school district in the United States, serving over 370,000 students in 600+ schools and employing nearly 36,000 people, most of whom are teachers. CPS has set ambitious goals to ensure that every student, in every school and every neighborhood, has access to a world-class learning experience that prepares each for success in college, career, and civic life. In order to fulfill this mission, we make three commitments to our students, their families, and all Chicagoans: academic progress, financial stability, and integrity. Five core principles are embedded within these commitments – high quality, rigorous instruction, talented and empowered educators, safety and support, financial stability, and collective impact.

    The Department of Curriculum, Instruction, and Digital Learning is implementing the Curriculum Equity Initiative: a comprehensive support system for teachers with a modern, digital curriculum at its core. Once implemented, this digital curriculum will provide CPS students and teachers with access to high-quality, engaging, and culturally-responsive learning materials.

    Under the direction of the Manager of Digital Curriculum, the Curriculum Designer will work collaboratively with stakeholders, including subject matter experts (SMEs) and contracted partners, to inform the initial development of the curriculum and continuous improvement of the curriculum thereafter. This position will utilize a strong background in Spanish Language Arts (SLA) and a deep knowledge of academic standards in their focus on the development of SLA Curriculum.

    The Curriculum Designer will be held accountable for the following responsibilities:

  • Collaborate effectively and extensively with internal and external partners, including content and specialty teams across CPS' Academic Offices, to ensure Chicago's curriculum is developed in accordance with all articulated quality standards.

  • Coordinate the development and distribution of formal curriculum development and evaluation guidance, including the SLA Rubric.
  • Demonstrate flexibility and creativity in the design and continuous improvement of the curriculum.
  • Train stakeholders on the curriculum evaluation processes and utilization of rubrics and other guidance/evaluative tools.
  • Effectively engage with stakeholders to prioritize and communicate feedback to external partners for curriculum updates/revisions.
  • Advise the teams supporting systems integration and UX to ensure a seamless, useful experience for teachers, students, and parents.
  • Ensure contractual partners accurately customize the SLA curriculum and effectively integrate SLA themes, inquiry skills, and an interdisciplinary approach to instruction.
  • Model the routine, intentional and effective use of technology in daily work, including communications, organization and management tasks.
  • Keep abreast of the current trends and best practices in pedagogy with digital curriculum and represent the district as an expert on these and other (related) topics.
  • Manage multiple projects/sub-projects concurrently; monitor activity, progress, and time-related to project development requirements.
  • Other duties as assigned
