About the Next Gen InstituteThe Next Gen Institute (NGI) is a Canadian nonprofit initiative focused on equipping young Canadians with the knowledge they need to understand personal finance, government finance, and civic responsibility.
NGI develops modular, curriculum-aligned educational resources that teachers can integrate directly into existing courses such as CALM, Social Studies, Civics, and Economics. Each module includes a professionally produced 5-minute educational video, a student workbook, a teacher's guide, curriculum mapping aligned to provincial standards, and assessment materials. All resources are provided free of charge to educators across Canada, beginning with a 2026 pilot launch in Alberta.
Position OverviewNGI is seeking a practicing or recently practicing high school Social Studies teacher to join our content team in a part-time capacity. You understand how Alberta classrooms work, what teachers need to feel confident delivering new material, and what students respond to. That expertise is exactly what NGI needs to build resources that get used rather than filed away.
This role sits at the intersection of curriculum design and content creation. You will help shape the educational quality of NGI's modules, ensuring everything we produce is accurate, classroom-ready, and genuinely useful to teachers across Canada. You will work with our instructional development team to provide domain knowledge and expertise in teaching these classes. As a contributor to NGI's content library, you will also have full access to use any completed NGI modules in your own classroom at no cost.
