Curriculum Writing
Secondary Teachers,
We are pleased to share that we are now accepting applications for Summer 2020 Curriculum Writing. We strongly believe that the best curriculum writers are the teachers who teach our students, and ask that you consider applying to be a part of our extended collaborative teams.
Details:
- Each content area selects teams of teachers to work on specific projects, revisions, and new documents as indicated by district-level student data, teacher feedback, and new state-level requirements (TEKS revisions, new courses, streamlined standards).
- Curriculum writing is compensated at $25 per hour, and the number of hours per content area or course will be communicated prior to the work beginning in the summer.
- All previously selected curriculum writers will need to apply using this application if you would like to be reconsidered for inclusion on a team.
- Teams will be selected by April 15, 2020.
- Deadline for application submission is March 3, 2020.
If you have specific questions about the application process or specific content area work, please reach out to your content area coordinator.
- Secondary Core Content (Math, ELAR, Social Studies, Science, LOTE)
- Fine Arts
- PACE/GT
- CTE
