Position Title: ConnectEd Senior Teacher Trainer

Job Description

Program Summary
World Education, Inc. and Alcatel-Lucent, through its Alcatel-Lucent
Foundation, have forged a partnership to implement ConnectEd, a US$6
million global initiative to provide educational and digital skills
training opportunities for children and adolescents in disadvantaged
areas across six countries.  This initiative will serve approximately
9,000 young people from disadvantaged communities over three years.
Some 70 percent of these young people will be girls and young women.
The program started in April 2011. From Year Two (starting April 1
2012) implementing countries will be Australia, Brazil, China, Egypt,
India and Indonesia.

Indonesia is a new country for the ConnectED program and partner
selection is in its final stages, with programming to begin by May 1,
2012.  The partner selected will be a Jakarta based organization
providing education and workplace preparation skills to disadvantaged
youth.  These services will include non-formal education, formal
education, vocational training, information technology training, and
counseling.  As the partner organization works largely with volunteer
teachers with a limited background in instruction, ConnectED is
seeking to recruit a Senior Teacher Trainer to work with the partner
organization to upgrade the quality of the education programs offered.
Primary responsibilities for this role will include needs assessment,
training design, training implementation and coordination,
instructional coaching, and curriculum support.

This position will report directly to the ConnectED Program Director
in Jakarta and will work closely with both the ConnectED Program
Coordinator and Senior Management of the partner organization.


Position Summary
The ConnectEd Senior Teacher Trainer will be responsible for providing
high quality and responsive technical inputs to the partner
organization's education programming.  She/he is expected to develop a
close working relationship with the management and staff of the
partner organization, being responsive to their hopes and wishes while

program.  It is expected that the Senior Teacher Trainer will conduct
a participatory needs assessment to identify strengths and weaknesses
in current instructional practices, leading to the creation of a plan
of technical inputs that is agreed upon by the ConnectED Director and
Senior Management of the partner organization. Inputs could include
designing and implementing training on topics as diverse as student
centered learning, classroom management, documentation, subject-based
learning, curriculum support, and educational administration.  It is
