Craigslist Job Opportunity: Common Core Test Writer
Given the fact that a Common Core test recently presented a completely unsolvable equation, it is no wonder that administrators are looking for “strong math writers”.
The Daily Caller Education Editor Eric Owens has the details on Common Core job opportunities published on Craigslist.
As EAGnews.org explains, a company that generates all manner of education-related content has taken to the worldwide classified ad website looking for writers to create math test questions and math class instructions aligned with the Common Core Standards Initiative.
The company, A Pass Education, works with several Common Core providers including textbook behemoth Pearson Education and employs over 500 freelance contractors.
A Pass is currently running the ad in at least two cities on Craigslist:
Our educational development company has an immediate need for strong math writers and content editors for K-12 assessment items and lesson plans. The ideal candidate will
-have a degree in an area of mathematics
-have K-12 math classroom experience
-have education/curriculum development expertise
-be able to work virtually using content management systems
-understand Common Core, DOK, and Bloom’s Taxonomy
-be able to write content aligned to benchmarks and standards
The ad goes on to explain that the job is “a part-time job” and “a contract job.” “Telecommuting is ok.”
Hired writers will get paid “approximately $20-$25 hour” and deliver their work “in Google Drive.”
