What is a science curriculum specialist?

Science curriculum jobs focus on the design and development of science courses at an elementary, junior high, or high school. A curriculum consultant or curriculum writer takes steps to develop lessons and classes that train students in science-related subjects while meeting the educational goals and testing requirements of the school, district, and state. The duties of an instructional specialist include designing new curricula, assessing current courses, and helping science teachers implement new educational materials, practices, and standards. Some specialists assess science instruction at a school and offer ideas for improvements.
