Job description

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
  • Ensure alignment to New York State standards and Zeta's academic vision and outcomes
  • Embed inquiry-based learning, conceptual understanding, and opportunities for analytical thinking and problem-solving
  • 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

Engagement & Compensation

We are hiring for a 12 month project-based consulting role with an immediate start date. If selected, this role would be offered as a 1099 independent contractor engagement and would not constitute an offer of employment.

  • 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.

Join our purpose-driven community

Zeta collaborators are lifelong learners who live with child-like joy and a deep sense of purpose. We disrupt the status quo and tackle problems together. Our network of consultants stands united by a commitment to a limitless future for every child. At Zeta:

  • We are passionate about our mission of providing world-class education to all students
  • We bring a mindset of growth and flexibility
  • We are hungry and determined to not only meet our goals, but surpass them
  • We are humble, willing to put the team's needs ahead of our own, and committed to contributing to a collaborative work environment
  • We have a high bar for excellence and sweat over the details
  • We are caring and put team over individual at all times
