We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for experienced education professionals with strong expertise in educational materials, visual document interpretation, assessment design, and structured evaluation.

Key Responsibilities

• Education Task Design
  • Create complex, realistic tasks grounded in educational materials and professional education workflows.

• Visual Document Interpretation
  • Analyse educational documents containing text, graphics, tables, diagrams, and structured information.
  • Create questions requiring information to be synthesised across multiple visual or textual elements.

  • Ensure conclusions remain grounded in the supplied materials.
• Assessment & Instruction-Following
  • Create tasks involving multi-step instructions and clearly defined deliverables.
  • Evaluate whether responses fully satisfy stated requirements.
  • Identify missing information, instruction-following errors, and unsupported conclusions.
  • Develop assessment criteria that distinguish complete responses from partially correct ones.
  • Apply consistent standards across different task types.
• Reference Answer Development
  • Produce authoritative reference outputs for assigned tasks.
  • Establish clear ground truth based on provided educational materials.
  • Verify that reference answers are accurate, complete, and reproducible.
  • Document the reasoning and evidence supporting expected outcomes.
  • Resolve ambiguity before tasks progress to evaluation.
• Rubric & Quality Development
  • Write objective rubrics defining the requirements for successful responses.
  • Identify essential elements that must be present in a correct answer.
  • Distinguish substantive errors from minor presentation differences.
  • Refine tasks and rubrics for clarity, difficulty, and evaluation reliability.
  • Maintain consistent quality standards across the project.

Qualifications

• Professional or academic background in Education, Curriculum, Instructional Design, Educational Assessment, or a closely related field.
• Strong ability to interpret educational documents and visually structured information.
• Experience working with instructional materials, assessments, curricula, or educational content.
• Strong analytical judgement and attention to detail.
• Ability to create clearly defined tasks with objective expected outcomes.
• Excellent written English and ability to explain reasoning precisely.
• Comfortable working independently within structured project guidelines.
• Experience developing assessments, rubrics, instructional materials, or educational evaluation criteria is advantageous.
• Based in the United States or Canada.

Requirements

• Part-time independent contractor engagement.
• Fully remote.
• Expected commitment of approximately 15–20 hours per week.
• Flexible scheduling based on project requirements.
• Compensation: Up to $50/hour.
• Work focuses on education task authoring, reference-answer development, and evaluation criteria.
