Math Catch-Up Club Consultant at Save the Children

REQUIREMENT:

Save the Children is looking for a consultant to develop a suite of training and guidance materials for the math component of its Catch-Up Clubs program. Catch-Up Clubs are mainly community-based extra-curricular learning opportunities that provide revision in foundational skills for children in the upper primary grades. They take place over a compressed time period and build on the learning methodologies of Pratham’s Teach at the Right Level (TaRL) approach and elements of Save the Children’s Literacy and Numeracy Boost programs.

• Under the guidance of the Catch-Up Club technical group, and the Safe Back to School Task Team, the consultant will undertake the following:
• Review existing materials for the reading component of Catch-Up Clubs, and information on the ASER / Pratham TaRL approach for Math, generally, as needed.
• Consult with Save the Children staff with experience designing, training and delivering reading Catch-Up Clubs, including experts in community case management and cash and voucher assistance.
• Consult with Save the Children staff and review design notes on incorporating Math apps into the math version of Catch-Up Clubs.
• Create a manual for math Catch-Up Clubs that provides guidance for designing two versions of the math Catch-Up Club program: a paper-based club; a math app-based club.
• Create a facilitator training manual with guidance on facilitating both versions of the Math Catch-Up Clubs.
• If needed, create a supplement to the facilitator coaching guidance regarding coaching math clubs that are using a math app.
• Design and lead a comment and review process to receive and integrate feedback from technical advisors into the final versions of the materials.
