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 K7 / 17). 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 K7 / 17 (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 NEPs 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.
• Demonstrated ability to write child-friendly content for primary/middle school learners.
• 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 Blooms 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)

• 15 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).

What Success Looks Like (KPIs)

• Strong pedagogy and student engagement in activities and assessments
• On-time delivery with well-managed revisions
• Consistent NCF tagging quality across grades/chapters
