I am writing to share some exciting openings at iDiscoveri. 3 T440-ers (from a class I took at Harvard) are part of our senior team, and we've had a few others do short projects with us. We've also had TFA-alum doing longer-term assignments.
Do go through the write-up below, and write in if you would be interested. Would also be grateful if you could spread the word amongst your other educator networks as well.
Thanks a lot!

Opportunities at India’s most exciting social enterprise
If you are a school education specialist who is excited about the prospect of moving to India to work alongside a passionate team on a scalable educational innovation that can impact the learning of 1 million children then you should read on..
A social enterprise with a mission to renew the quality of school education in India and beyond, iDiscoveri today reaches over quarter of a million children in more than 800 schools through its path-breaking innovation, XSEED. While there is a lot of talk around school reform in the developing world, XSEED is among the very few models that have gone to scale, demonstrated impact in the last-mile inside the classroom and used an entrepreneurial business model.
XSEED integrates structured curriculum, professional development and ongoing assessment into a practical toolkit for teachers, which when implemented, enables children to learn every concept through experimentation, questioning and application. Implemented in a diverse set of schools from elite metro schools, to schools for first-generation learners in small towns, the program has shown visible impact on teaching quality and learning outcomes.
We are looking for top-class international talent to staff the following positions. 1, 2 and 3 are based out of our headquarters in Gurgaon (a suburb of New Delhi). 4 will be placed in XSEED schools across the country.
The roles on offer are:
