DP I&S Coordinator (Internal Applications Only)

We are inviting expressions of interest for a one-year temporary I&S Coordinator position. This leadership opportunity includes a stipend of $6,000/ year and a GRLB of $5,000, as well as a time release of 6 hours.  Interested candidates should submit their application by Friday, April 17, 2026. 

Position Summary: 

The Curriculum Coordinator is the pedagogical leader responsible for supporting and enhancing student learning and achievement in the following subject or IB core areas:

• SS Individuals & Societies (G10-12)
  
  

The Curriculum Coordinator leads and represents a team of colleagues in all matters related to learning and teaching, curriculum, and assessment in the relevant subject strand. They collaborate with other Curriculum Coordinators and the MYP/DP Coordinators to ensure vertical and horizontal continuity and progression and to participate in decision-making about the school’s educational programme. In addition to promoting the highest quality of teaching and learning in their subject strand, the Curriculum Coordinator also ensures that the subject strand contributes to the school’s strategic goals, including engaging student agency and technology to continue to support increased personalisation of learning; an increased focus on student wellbeing; and a continued focus on skills development.

A particular area of focus for these roles is differentiation and inclusion. We have increased the time allowance for most of these roles by 2 hours per cycle so that Coordinators have more time to work with the Learning Strategies team to develop their skills and support their teams to ensure that pedagogical best practice supports the full range of learners in all classrooms. The school will support Coordinators’ development in this area with a significant investment in their ongoing professional development. By the end of the three-year cycle, we hope to be able to measure the positive impact that enhanced differentiation techniques have on student outcomes. 

This is a key pedagogical leadership and management role, and the post-holder should be collegial, supportive and flexible, able to work independently and as part of a team to identify and achieve shared goals. The Curriculum Coordinator is supported by the Senior School or Middle School Principal, and works closely with the Divisional Vice Principals, MYP and DP Coordinators, and the Deputy Head of School. Curriculum Coordinators will be actively supported in their development as pedagogical leaders, and will be expected to participate in ongoing professional development activities.
