About the Role
As the State Subject Curriculum Lead, you will own the educational source of truth for your specific subject area across NSW. You will strategically direct everything built from it, mapping NESA syllabuses, recurring exam questions, and common student pitfalls. You will translate curriculum insights into live topic sequencing, question-type maps, and school-specific workshops kept 1-2 weeks ahead of local classrooms. You will also design targeted materials and support systems for students, plan educational resources upstream from the source of truth, and steer Resource Developers to oversee the production of roughly 100 workbooks annually. Finally, you will act as the final quality gate to sign off on all subject materials and continuously push curriculum innovation.
