Who We AreNewGlobe supports visionary governments in transforming public education systems. These systems are the cornerstone of a prosperous, equitable, and peaceful society. In doing so, NewGlobe ensures that all children have access to an education that will develop their full potential and create a foundation for growth and prosperity.
NewGlobe leverages more than a decade of educational experience and proven impact in integrated school management, teacher professional development, instructional design innovation, technological system support, child-centered classroom practice, and parent engagement -- all grounded in learning science -- to ensure each teacher is empowered to engage children in transformational learning, and all children have the opportunity to develop to their full potential. NewGlobe works within state and national curricula and syllabi, ensuring all children can learn their own history, master local content, and become globally competitive in mathematics and languages.
NewGlobe's work is all-encompassing and will challenge you to use your full mind and heart each day. We need bright minds who want to be part of building a new globe – a more equitable globe – to join us. NewGlobe is honored to serve and to help rebuild trust in public systems.
AcademicsThe objective of the Academics group is to drive student achievement. To do so, we must know what is happening – minute-by-minute – for the typical child. The student's daily experience, and thus the path to achievement, emerges from their relationship with the teachers and the content that is delivered in the classroom.
Our Regional Academics department collaborates with local education ministries to understand each program's syllabus and educational context. Our Instructional Design department then develops rigorous content, pitched at the right level and tailored to program needs. Field officers visit classrooms and provide detailed feedback on lesson effectiveness, which triggers lesson revisions and improvements.
Underpinning all of this is the work of the independent Research, Measurement, and Evaluation group, which provides Academics with an empirical orientation toward improving that daily experience and, in turn, driving achievement.
Instructional DesignThe Instructional Design department produces the learning materials that are used in schools across the communities where we work. This department has team members based in multiple NewGlobe support offices, organized into teams that each work on a portfolio of projects. Driving student achievement through the development of rigorous content is the number one priority. One core tenet of the approach is less lecture (traditional among many schools in our markets) and more student practice and teacher feedback. Consistent, rigorous opportunities to refine knowledge and skills are crucial to a child's learning progression. The Instructional Design department structures all lessons, textbooks, and other materials to ensure this.
About the RoleThe Course Creation team's purpose is to create excellent units, lesson scripts, and related materials for commonly taught subjects like geography, history, politics, religion, science, health, physical education, and art. Our team works closely with others in Instructional Design to adapt these materials to different programs across the world.
We also remain ready to take on other essential tasks as needed. These include developing training materials, instruction posters, and more.
To do this work, members of our team need to:
- Analyze national standards, curriculum documents, and high-stakes exams. We must understand these documents to faithfully teach students what they need to know.
- Design units and script lesson plans that teach content in effective, age-appropriate, and culturally relevant ways. We
