CAREER SUMMARY
CURRICULUM DESIGNER
i2 Education | Apr 2020 - Nov 2020 Guangzhou, China
As a curriculum designer, I am responsible for analysing and determining efficient and effective means of presenting educational instructions from the company headquarters to the rest of the campuses around china. The products I worked on involved offline and online content. ‘I2 Online’, involved developing ESL activities using Gestalt Psychology and reverse engineering language speech
errors and other linguistic psychological phenomenon to create CCQs. The online interface the team and I worked on required a focus on creating relate-able content for students, this allowed me to use my knowledge in developmental psychology to understand the perspective of students and create suitable story-arches and characters. Offline content involved designing the STEM club, summer and winter courses, by analysing problem solving strategies and catering activities to align with various learning styles. Further projects involved the expansion of new campuses and class sizes which required an entirely new curriculum. Finally the ‘Little Diplomat’ project which involved training teachers to teach students how to act as presenters for their cities.
