Delhi / Remote, Fluency in English
Build and scale Labhya's wellbeing curriculum to drive measurable improvements in student mental health and social-emotional outcomes across diverse, low-resource school systems. This role translates research, data, and field realities into a developmentally appropriate, culturally grounded curriculum that works at scale. It blends curriculum strategy, experimentation, and on-ground feasibility to ensure wellbeing outcomes are not just designed but delivered.
Role Expectations
*All the below-mentioned tasks would be key to your role. The following requirements are not mentioned in order of priority.
- Curriculum Strategy & Lifecycle Ownership: Own the end-to-end wellbeing curriculum lifecycle across states, from design and piloting to iteration and scale, ensuring clear and measurable wellbeing outcomes such as reduced anxiety, increased emotional safety, grit, agency, and emotional regulation. Ensure all content is developmentally appropriate and grounded in evidence-based SEL and wellbeing frameworks.
- Curriculum Innovation Across Delivery Models: Lead innovation across teacher-led, student-led, and blended delivery models. Continuously refine curriculum structure, pedagogy, and sequencing to improve engagement, ease of delivery, and impact in real classrooms.
- Data-Driven Curriculum Design: Partner closely with the Data and RMEL teams to embed measurable indicators, feedback loops, and learning questions into every curriculum unit. Use data to identify patterns such as lessons that are hard to deliver, concepts where students disengage, and content linked to stronger wellbeing outcomes, translating insights into testable curriculum improvements.
- Experimentation & A/B Testing Support: Design curriculum variants including content, pedagogy, nudges, and sequencing to support A/B testing and experimentation agendas across programs. Enable rapid learning while maintaining ethical, child-safe, and pedagogically sound designs.
- Curriculum at Scale, Translation & Localisation: Lead translation and localisation of curriculum across multiple languages and cultural contexts while maintaining consistency, emotional nuance, and pedagogical integrity. Build systems, workflows, and quality checks so translated content retains intent and effectiveness at scale.
- Digital & Chatbot Content Design: Design curriculum-aligned content for digital tools and chatbots, including micro-nudges, reinforcement activities, rewards and recognition mechanisms, and teacher habit-building prompts that reinforce classroom learning.
- Cross-functional Enablement: Support donor visits and fundraising efforts by designing curriculum elements that enable meaningful engagement with parents, caregivers, and the wider community. Ensure curriculum narratives clearly communicate impact, intent, and learning journeys.
- Training & Capacity Building: Design and iterate training curricula for teachers, student leaders, and field and implementation teams. Work closely with Implementation teams to ensure curriculum and training are practical, trainable, and realistic for on-ground delivery at scale.
- Field Feedback & Continuous Improvement: Analyse district-level teacher WhatsApp groups and other informal feedback channels to extract delivery pain points, informal adaptations, and unmet support needs. Use insights to refine curriculum, training materials, and support systems.
