DISCOVER LEARNING PROGRAMME MANAGER

Child Safeguarding:

Level 3 - the responsibilities of the post may require the post holder to have regular contact with or access to children or young people



ROLE PURPOSE:

The Discover Learning Programme Manager is accountable for providing management and oversight of the implementation of the Discover Learning intervention; to lead the collaboration between Save the Children with the UC Berkeley Center on the Developing Adolescent and Health for a Prosperous Nation; to serve as a lead facilitator of the Discover Learning intervention; and to represent and advocate for Save the Children’s work and organizational priorities, with a specific focus on early adolescence, with a wide range of external parties including government representatives, communities, donors, UN and other humanitarian agencies operating in the area. Provide leadership and guidance to the programme team including the Discover Learning facilitators.

We employ nearly 100 staff and have an annual operating budget of approximately $10 million.



Reports to: Director Programme Implementation



Dimensions: Maintains strong linkages with the Technical Specialists for Education, Health/Nutrition and Meal Specialist



Staff directly reporting to this post: Up to 10 Learning Facilitators



KEY AREAS OF ACCOUNTABILITY:

1.     Programme management responsibilities
The overall objective of the Discover project is the development and testing of the Discover Learning intervention with a goal of promoting positive, gender norm transformative, social-emotional learning during early adolescence. The Discover Learning intervention builds on research from transdisciplinary developmental science that indicates that early adolescence (ages 10-14), is a period of dynamic maturational changes. These include the onset of pubertal development, which begins a period of rapid physical growth (including extensive brain development) and sexual maturation, as well as changes in cognitive, social, emotional, psychological, and behavioral processes. This highly innovative intervention leverages the developmental changes that occur with the onset of puberty that appear to create natural affinities for discovery learning, particularly in the social domain. In contrast to didactic learning models, discovery learning is a process through which learners engage in self-motivated inquiry, supported by teachers/facilitators, information, and materials, in order to “discover” the intended content. Key elements to creating sustainable discovery learning include: a) engaging motivation and natural curiosity, and b) providing social support that includes a balance of monitoring/support while also promoting youth-driven discoveries (individually and in small groups).  To achieve this, Discover Learning uses an adult supported approach to promote youth-driven discovery learning and leverages digital technology to engage youth.



The Discover Learning intervention has been designed as a 14-session, public, primary-school-based intervention for 10-14 year olds. Students will work in small, same-age, mixed gender groups that will be led by young adult (20 to 30-year-old) trained facilitators who will serve as mentors/coaches. Using a case-based learning model, the youth will learn a group process for problem solving including evaluating what is known about a particular topic, identifying new questions and areas of inquiry, making hypotheses, and creating a strategy about how to gather information to answer their questions and/or solve problems. A core element of the learning and problem solving exercise will involve using internet enabled tablets to gain access to information and/or to engage in interactive learning exercises relevant to the problem at hand. The use of the technology will be supported by adults with learners gaining increased privileges and expanded access over time as they demonstrate successful, effective use. Students will use the technology to build effective communication skills, learn to content, and build critical thinking skills.
