Learning Enrichment and Diversity Specialist 80%
Location: Zurich
About the job
School of Tomorrow is looking for an expert to design and lead a school-wide support model for all students, with particular expertise in supporting dually gifted (2e) learners. You will integrate curiosity, higher-order thinking, and authentic problem solving into daily instruction and ensure that every learner - both those who need more challenge and those whose strengths are currently hidden - have meaningful opportunities to thrive.
What you should bring with you:
University degree in gifted education, curriculum and instructional development, educational psychology or a related field (SEM background essential).
Extensive experience in leading support programs that are integrated into the regular curriculum (ideally school or network-wide).
Proven expertise in working with 2e learners and strengths-based planning that addresses cognitive and social-emotional needs.
Demonstrated ability to create quality curriculum/program materials and collaborate effectively with teachers, students, and families.
Core competencies: Inclusive enrichment thinking for all learners; relationship-based approach; precise instructional design; ability to pilot, evaluate and scale innovations.
Your tasks:
Develop and implement enrichment activities in the curriculum: Build a practical integration framework (not a stand-alone program) and collaborative planning/common instruction to implement it in classrooms, e.g., enrichment clusters, curriculum compacting, SEM-R, and cross-curricular opportunities.
Student advocacy and tailored educational pathways: uncover hidden strengths; support 2e learners through balanced challenges and adaptations; mentor small groups and guide independent investigations (Type I/II/III).
Teacher training and coaching: Lead PD, provide model lessons (planned and reactive), offer one-on-one coaching, and put together practical tools that teachers can gradually adopt; spend a lot of time in the classroom observing and supporting practice in real time.
Parents and community: host parent evenings/workshops, answer individual questions and communicate our philosophy and approach to support and 2e. Bring in external experts/mentors (researchers, artists, entrepreneurs, technologists) and build partnerships to extend authentic learning experiences.
Documentation and impact: Create clear guidelines, lesson plans and reports; track teacher engagement, acceptance and student progress to enable continuous improvement.
Application procedure
Cover letter detailing (a) the design/implementation of school-wide support interventions, (b) a 2e case illustrating "below the surface" relationship building, and (c) an example of staff coaching you have led.
CV and contact details of two referees (one from 2e practice, one from curriculum/PD).
A portfolio with examples of remedial teaching, cluster designs or guidelines for independent projects.

Educators.
Our educators are teachers who are recognized in Switzerland and have completed teacher training in their respective fieldKindergarten, primary or secondary school). They are responsible for ensuring that every child can acquire the necessary requirements of the Lehrplan21 as well as the core competencies and goals of School of Tomorrow . Educators teach where necessary and desired, support and challenge the children, and develop individual and personalized curricula for each child. Each child follows his or her own path, supported by our team and the other children.
Mentors.
Our mentors are people with pedagogical flair, specific experience and a great interest in supporting, helping and encouraging children. Mentors have a similar role to the Educators. They also promote the development of the 12 core skills, but are not responsible for delivering the curriculum to the same extent. Instead, mentors look after the individual well-being and personal development of the child and provide support primarily with specific projects, tasks and work. They can be active in general or in specific areas.
Experts.
Our experts are individuals with specific experience, know-how or expertise in a specific subject area. Experts can make a regular or sporadic contribution to everyday school life. The idea is that students for specific disciplines get the experience directly from an expert in the respective field and thus also get a realistic insight, not just the theory. School of Tomorrow strives to engage experts from as many different fields as possible and, wherever possible, to take into account the specific interests of the children.
