What is an academic coordinator?

An academic coordinator oversees the development of educational curriculums, the procurement of teaching materials, and the training of instructional staff at a public and private educational facility. As an academic coordinator, your job duties include evaluating current curriculum materials and resources, coaching teachers, developing strategies to improve student performance, and collaborating with school administrators and personnel. The qualifications for your career as an academic coordinator are a master’s degree in education, instructional design, or curriculum development, along with teaching experience, leadership and teambuilding skills. You must understand content and performance standards for multiple subject areas.
