At World Book, we invest in extraordinary, diverse, talented, and passionate individuals to help us in our mission to spark imagination, cultivate curiosity, and empower education in young learners across the globe.
We are seeking a Curriculum Designer to join our team.
Who We Are
An industry leader in both print and digital educational publishing, World Book delivers engaging content to equip students, parents, and teachers with the tools they need to reach academic success. We first launched the World Book Encyclopedia in 1917 and, since then, have expanded to produce nonfiction and mixed-genre children’s books, reference materials, digital learning platforms, teaching guides, and more—all upholding the same standard of innovation, trustworthiness, and readability upon which we were founded.
We recognize that equal opportunities for education can make all the difference in a child’s path. With our market-leading and award-winning digital and print products, you will be an integral part of our 100+-year mission to develop a passion for lifelong learning in every person we reach. In this role, you will interact with educators in schools and libraries as well as business leaders and organizations that share our vision.
We are looking for a highly motivated Curriculum Designer to support the Editorial team as World Book continues its strategic expansion from the reference space into the classroom. This hands-on position will involve creating detailed and engaging content and resources, such as lesson plans and other instructional materials, to support students and educators. Key duties will include coordinating the development of new materials, adapting existing reference materials to meet classroom needs, and supporting the development of classroom-focused digital products.
This role offers a unique opportunity, with the challenge of helping to shape the future of World Book’s instructional content. The curriculum designer will be tasked with creating materials that help educators better leverage World Book products and reduce time spent developing materials so they can get back to what they do best: engaging and teaching their students. A passion for education and understanding how digital technology has reshaped learning is vital in this role.
Does this sound like you?
A Successful Candidate Will Have the Following:
- Bachelor’s degree in education or related field or the equivalent in work experience
- Expert knowledge of K-12 curriculum and educational theory
- Teaching experience, preferably in grades 5-9
- One to three years of instructional design, lesson plan, or curriculum writing experience
- A passion for lifelong learning
- Understanding of K-12 national and state standards, as well as familiarity with international standards
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, interpersonal skills, and presentation skills
- Ability to project management while maintaining a creative vision
Here’s a look at the essential duties of this role:
- Assist in developing and executing publishing plans for multiple products in print and digital forms, giving curriculum guidance in the creation of materials.
- Translate existing print and digital content into digital learning materials and integrate technology and multimedia for use by teachers for in-person, blended learning, and virtual program models.
- Coordinate deliverables from contractors, vendors, and internal sources and help with scheduling and project management.
- Align and adapt existing content in World Book’s database and other digital products to state, national, and international curriculum standards.
- Support the marketing and sales teams; provide product training and presentations to internal and external clients.
- Build meaningful relationships with decision-makers, collaborating with educators and other professionals to identify their needs and develop solutions.
Join a team of those who want to make a difference in education, are intellectually curious and have integrity We can offer a means for you to achieve the goals you want to accomplish in your career. We can’t wait to meet you
