Follow your passion

Are you looking to make a BIG impact? At Zeta, we pursue an unprecedented combination of high academic achievement and social-emotional development for our students. We insist that every student receives a world-class education while fostering a love for learning. We are passionate about changing the landscape of public education in New York City and beyond, and we are uncompromising in our mission.

Currently, we operate elementary, middle, and high schools in the Bronx, Upper Manhattan, and Queens. We plan to grow and open 1-2 schools each year because children in every community deserve excellent, equitable education. 

Our Network office is located at 401 W. 218th St., New York, NY 10034. Consultants will collaborate remotely or in-person as agreed upon based on project needs.

Deliver powerful results

To achieve our vision, we are searching for a Middle School Science Curriculum Writer Consultant with a Bachelor's degree, Master's degree preferred, and at least three years of experience designing and/or teaching high-quality secondary science instruction, with a proven record of developing rigorous, engaging, and culturally responsive curriculum.

Project Scope & Responsibilities:

  • Design full-course curricula for middle school science subjects (e.g., Life, Earth and Physical Sciences, Biology) including scope and sequence, unit plans, and daily lesson plans.
  • Develop high-quality instructional materials, including:
    • Student-facing lessons and problem sets
    • Labs, projects, and real-world applications
    • High-quality homework aligned with the course 
    • Formative and summative assessments with clear success criteria

  • Design assessments that measure both content mastery and application of skills
  • Collaborate closely with academic leaders, instructional coaches, and other curriculum writers to ensure coherence across courses and grade levels
  • Use feedback from educators and student performance data to iterate and improve curriculum materials

  • Compensation: Between $15,000 and $25,000 per project unit (depending on experience and project scope)
  • Consultants are responsible for their own taxes; consultants are not eligible for Zeta benefit plans.
  • Work schedule is flexible; deliverables and deadlines will be agreed upon with the designated project lead.
