About the Role
We are looking for an Experiential Learning Coordinator who will be responsible for ensuring the effective implementation of the school's innovative, activity-based curriculum.
The school will have a structured Experiential Learning Handbook, developed by the Educational Psychologist/Curriculum Team. The handbook will contain chapter-wise activities designed to help children learn concepts through experience, exploration, movement, observation, games, real-life situations and alternative methodologies.
The Experiential Learning Coordinator will be the custodian of this methodology within the school.
The key responsibility is to ensure that activities prescribed in the handbook are not merely completed as a formality, but are implemented correctly, meaningfully and consistently, with the intended learning outcomes being achieved.
The Coordinator will work closely with teachers, observe classroom/activity implementation, provide guidance, document outcomes and communicate feedback to the Academic Head and Curriculum Team.
Key Responsibilities1. Implementation of the Experiential Curriculum
- Study and understand the Experiential Learning Handbook thoroughly.
- Understand the purpose, methodology and expected learning outcomes of every activity.
- Prepare an implementation calendar aligned with the academic calendar and chapter-wise teaching plan.
- Coordinate with teachers to ensure that activities are conducted at the appropriate point in the chapter.
- Ensure that activities are conducted as prescribed while allowing teachers appropriate flexibility based on classroom circumstances.
- Track implementation across classes and subjects.
- Ensure that no prescribed activity is missed or casually substituted without appropriate approval.
1. Ensure Quality of Activity Implementation
The Coordinator will be responsible for checking whether the activity has been implemented in the intended manner.
This includes observing
- Whether the teacher understood the objective of the activity.
- Whether the required materials were prepared.
- Whether the activity setup was appropriate.
- Whether instructions were communicated correctly to children.
- Whether children were actively participating.
- Whether the teacher facilitated rather than simply demonstrated the activity.
- Whether the activity was conducted for the appropriate duration.
- Whether the intended concept was connected to the activity.
- Whether the prescribed learning outcome was assessed.
- Whether the activity was adapted appropriately for children who needed additional support.
The Coordinator should distinguish between: “The activity was conducted.”
and
“The activity was conducted effectively and the intended learning took place.”
1. Teacher Support and Training
- Conduct orientation sessions for teachers on the innovative curriculum.
- Demonstrate activities whenever required.
- Explain the “why” behind each activity, not just the steps.
- Help teachers understand the psychological and pedagogical rationale provided in the handbook.
- Address practical difficulties faced by teachers during implementation.
- Help teachers modify activities appropriately without compromising the core learning objective.
- Identify teachers who require additional support and provide mentoring/coaching.
- Conduct periodic refresher sessions.
1. Classroom and Activity Observation
The Coordinator will regularly observe classrooms and activity sessions.
Observations should focus on
- Teacher preparedness
- Child participation
- Quality of facilitation
- Correct execution of activity steps
- Classroom management
- Use of materials
- Child engagement
- Learning behaviours
- Achievement of expected outcomes
- Quality of alternative assessment
The Coordinator should maintain a structured observation checklist rather than relying only on informal feedback.
1. Monitoring Learning Outcomes
The Coordinator will ensure that every activity has a clear connection between: Concept → Activity → Child Experience → Observable Behaviour → Learning Outcome → Assessment For each activity, the Coordinator should verify:
- What was the child expected to learn?
- What did the child actually do?
- What evidence shows that learning occurred?
- Did the child demonstrate understanding independently?
- Can the child apply the concept in a different situation?
The Coordinator should work with teachers to collect appropriate evidence of learning through demonstrations, observations, practical tasks, games, verbal responses, creations, problem-solving and other prescribed alternative assessments.
1. Documentation and Evidence
The Coordinator will maintain systematic documentation of curriculum implementation.
This may include
- Activity completion records
- Class-wise implementation trackers
- Teacher observation reports
- Photographs/videos of activities where appropriate
- Samples of children's work
- Assessment records
- Learning outcome reports
- Teacher feedback
- Challenges encountered
- Corrective actions taken
- Suggestions for improving activities
The Coordinator should ensure that documentation demonstrates what was done and what the children learned, rather than becoming a collection of photographs alone.
1. Feedback to Curriculum / Educational Psychology Team
The Coordinator will act as the feedback bridge between the school and the curriculum development team.
They will regularly communicate
- Which activities worked particularly well.
- Which activities children found difficult.
- Which activities teachers found difficult to implement.
- Whether materials were practical and accessible.
- Whether the time required was realistic.
- Whether the instructions in the handbook were sufficiently explicit.
- Whether children demonstrated the intended learning outcome.
- Common misconceptions observed among students.
- Suggestions for improving or redesigning activities.
This feedback will help the Educational Psychologist/Curriculum Team continuously improve the handbook.
1. Identify Gaps and Ensure Corrective Action
The Coordinator should proactively identify:
- Activities being skipped.
- Activities being conducted incorrectly.
- Teachers treating experiential activities as routine worksheets.
- Low student participation.
- Activities that are too difficult or too easy.
- Lack of appropriate materials.
- Inadequate assessment of learning.
- Gaps between the prescribed methodology and actual classroom practice.
The Coordinator should work with teachers to rectify these issues and subsequently verify that corrective action has been implemented. How to Apply Send your CV, a short portfolio of student or personal work, and a note on one art-integrated activity you have run to
