M-Lesson is
a mobile subscription platform that helps parents make better education
decisions and improve their children’s learning outcomes.
Many
parents lack real, performance-based information about their child’s
educational growth and the quality of their primary schools.
For a small
daily fee, parents may therefore truly understand how well their child is
learning and growing, and make informed choices to give their child the best
possible future.
M-Lesson is
looking for Master Teacher
Content Developers to help us
create and grow content for our pilot!
Master
Teachers should be current or former primary school teachers and/or education
specialists with a deep knowledge of the Kenyan 8-4-4 curriculum.
They should
have experience creating class and subject exam papers (such as mid-terms and
end terms) and be well-versed in the daily lessons taught to primary students.
For our
pilot, we are especially focusing on Class levels 5-8 and the KCPE subjects:
Maths, English, Science, IRE/CRE and Social Studies, and Kiswahili.
We are looking for candidates that are:
- Passionate
about education, information access, and finding new ways to make people’s
lives easier
- Experienced
in mapping lesson plans and writing exams for primary students in line
with the 8-4-4 curriculum
- Confident
independent workers that aspire to leadership, impact, and efficacy
- Detail-oriented
and consistently able to meet or beat timelines
- Self-motivated
to learn, grow, go the extra mile to achieve success, and take on new
responsibilities
Master Teachers will be requested to:
- For
a class level and subject, develop a series of multiple choice questions
and answers that are in line with the 8-4-4 national curriculum’s daily
lesson plans. The Master Teacher should be able to map which topics should
be taught each day or week in each class, and create a daily question to
test if a child has learned and understood that topic.
1. Each
subject will require 1 question per day, 6 days a week, for 14 weeks (2nd May -
5th August). This will amount to about 84 questions per subject & class.
- Follow
the indicated question submission format to send in their questions,
possible answers, and indicated correct answer.
- Meet
weekly deadlines in submitting questions and answers. All content must be
submitted before 31st March.
Compensation:
- Master
Teachers will be paid Ksh 1260 for the content for each class subject,
which amounts to Ksh 15 per multiple choice question.
- If
Master Teachers are competent in multiple subjects and classes, they are
welcome to take on more than one subject and class as long as content is
unique to each class and they are able to meet deadlines for submission.
- If
Master Teachers perform well, we will have additional opportunities to
share knowledge now, future opportunities for additional content
generation (rate based on performance), and a full-time salaried Content
Manager position opening in Term 3.
How to Apply:
Candidates should submit their CV, cover letter, and a work sample to learn@m-lesson.com.
The subject
of the email should read “[Name of Candidate] – Master Teacher Content
Developer Application”.
The cover
letter should include answers to these questions:
- Why
are you motivated to increase educational opportunities for children in
Kenya?
- What
makes you unique and therefore the ideal candidate for this position?
The work sample should demonstrate how you would write multiple
choice questions for M-Lesson.
Please
product 3 multiple choice questions, as if for an exam in one subject and for
one class level.
For each
one, include the question, 4 possible answers, and the correct answer
highlighted
