NCVPS is looking for highly qualified NC-certified teachers to serve as subject-matter experts on course development teams. 

Course development needs vary each year for many reasons, including in response to standards updates.  This means a given content area may see a high need for contractors when that area’s standards are revised.  Generally speaking, our courses are written by a team of 2-4 teachers.  Team roles include content writers, content reviewers, and course outliners.

Course Outliners and Content Reviewers are responsible for ensuring the course covers all standards and is fully aligned with the applicable standards.  They also ensure content is accurate, engaging, and accessible.  These roles are great for educators who love structure and organization and who enjoy digging into the details as well as seeing the “big picture.”  

Content Writers are responsible for the development of engaging, accessible content that aligns with the outline and provides multiple means for expression and engagement.  The content writing role is great for educators who thrive on being creative and engaging, scaffolding for students, and constructing and delivering content.  

In all roles, the following applies:

The qualified applicant should be knowledgeable of course design frameworks such as the Universal Design for Learning principles, Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy, and backwards design. The applicant should have a strong understanding of curriculum standards and experience creating engaging lessons and activities that promote active learning through problem-based learning, real-world examples, authentic assessments, and more. The applicant should have high organization and self-management skills and own a personal computer, phone/other communication device, and Internet access.
