Term: 2 Years
The Centre for Education in Mathematics & Computing (CEMC) is Canada’s largest and most recognized outreach organization for promoting and creating activities and materials in mathematics and computer science and is housed within the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo. The CEMC is the first point of contact at Waterloo for a significant percentage of our future undergraduate and graduate students and their parents. Through Outreach activities, the CEMC has perhaps the largest set of external points of contact among any unit on campus. Since its launch in 2015, the CEMC’s free online courseware has had tens of millions of pageviews. The CEMC’s Problem of the Week reaches roughly 1.5 million students. In Spring 2020 as schools closed due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the CEMC rapidly produced and launched CEMC at Home which generated 6000 subscribers with over 200 000 pageviews and files downloaded more than 134 000 times in its first month. Electronic resources are now more than ever critical to learning success and program delivery worldwide.
The incumbent(s) brings their experience as an outstanding classroom teacher to the CEMC, providing high calibre expertise of theoretical and experiential knowledge of the teaching profession to the CEMC. The incumbent takes the principal role in the evaluation, design, development, and rollout of all CEMC electronic educational resources, understanding departmental priorities and providing appropriate input and best practice recommendations to CEMC senior management. The incumbent(s) assesses the needs of external stakeholders (teachers, students and parents, and administrators in elementary and secondary schools) in many countries worldwide and develops resources based on emerging technologies and curriculum, as well as a firm understanding of the specific challenges in various jurisdictions. The incumbent manages the development cycle, leading continuous improvement and the evolution of CEMC electronic resource development practices, and trains and provides leadership to faculty and functional direction to staff.
