Educational Consultant – Per Diem – Central Valley, CA
Are you a retired educator or educator transitioning out of the classroom? This is an excellent opportunity to join a mission-driven company focused on creating equitable classrooms for students and still be part of a school community! Curriculum Associates is seeking a temporary, part-time Professional Learning Educational Consultant with a background in teaching, coaching teachers, delivering professional development and support, analyzing data, and working with school leaders. The Educational Consultant will be responsible for facilitating high-quality professional development, training, support, data analysis, and communicating consultatively with schoolteachers and leaders.
Requirements
Location: This position is based in Central Valley, CA. Candidates must either currently live in or be open to relocating to Central Valley, California. Must have own transportation as this role requires considerable travel beyond the posted location. Additionally, a valid driver’s license is required for this role.
Hours: Per Diem consultants are scheduled on an as-needed basis, paid hourly. Schedule is highly dependent on customer demand – professional development is usually scheduled with partners during normal school hours. Our peak times of the year include August through October and then again January and February, although we deliver professional development throughout the school year.
Given the as needed and heavily seasonal nature of this role, we do not recommend that you maintain a full-time role that operates during school hours, simultaneous with the Per Diem Educational Consultant role at Curriculum Associates.
Travel: Travel up to 70%-80% is required and considered an essential function of the job for all educator-facing positions. Travel includes overnight stays at hotels and transportation via car, plane, and/or public transportation.
Benefits
Benefits – Temporary and per-diem employees who average at least 30 hours of work per week within the Company’s look-back period are eligible to enroll in medical coverage after 90 days of employment. Temporary and per-diem employees working more than 20 hours per week are eligible for twelve paid holidays. All temporary and per-diem employees are eligible for accrued sick time.
Compensation: $30/hour-$65/hour, depending on the type of work you will be assigned to complete (e.g. “at-home” work versus “away from home” work, such as working directly with educators).
The impact you’ll have:
•
Become an expert on the company’s online diagnostic and instruction program and Common Core product, focusing on grades K–8
•
Serve teachers in the classroom by coordinating on-site product training and professional development courses for teachers and school administrators. Adjust professional development workshops within specified parameters to fit the needs of the participants
•
Help to ensure equity in the classroom by delivering professional development courses to teachers, coaches, and leaders on how to effectively implement Ready and i-Ready to impact classroom learning
•
Meet teachers where they are and provide tailored on-site support to teachers, coaches, and leaders. This may range from providing lesson planning and pacing support, to helping educators analyze data and apply it to instruction, to working with leaders to identify evidence of implementation successes and challenges
•
Engage in internal cycle of professional improvement and development (including being observed, receiving feedback, and being coached)
•
Track and submit detailed training notes, as well as complete all assignments in a timely manner
•
Present a professional image at all times to customers and prospects

•
Exceptional time management skills: ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritize appropriately. Proven organizational skills and high attention to detail
•
Excellent computer and internet skills including knowledge of Office programs (Outlook, Word, PPT, etc.); knowledge of online meeting programs (e.g. Zoom/WebEx) a plus
