Design Classroom Materials and Curriculums
A main duty of an Academic Coordinator is to help in the development and implementation of instructional materials and curriculum programs that will meet educational standards. They work with curriculum developers, principals, school boards and teachers to create effective curriculums to enhance student learning and achievement. This responsibility also includes assessing and implementing educational technology in the classroom.
Oversee Teacher Training
Academic Coordinators generally fulfill coaching and staff development duties to help teachers build strong instructional skills and a deeper understanding of educational tools and technologies available to them. They will manage conferences and workshops, monitor teachers’ classrooms and review new curriculums and classroom materials with teachers individually or in group settings. An Academic Coordinator will also assess teacher performance and make suggestions for improvement.
Analyze Student Performance
In order to create effective curriculums and provide teacher support and training, Academic Coordinators assess student performance to determine in what ways instructional approaches need to be changed or modified. Completing student assessments help Academic Coordinators to identify what aspects of the educational experience need to be addressed to ensure student success.
