FEATURED

We are a
small company launching an innovative, AI-driven, online high school student
success program focusing on “Purpose”. 
(See more at DreamRoads.com).  We
have a preliminary Scope & Sequence. 
We need a High School ID specialist to create a highly engaging,
structured online curriculum that aligns with high school students’
development, meets Perkins V career exploration funding criteria, as well as
state/national standards for SEL.

FIRST PROJECT

There will
be other members of the team:  A MS
Instructional Designer, an Adult ID, a Media Producer, and an AI Engineer.  The first task will be to work with these
team  members to lay out a Project
Plan.  Identify the number of Phases
required over time (to create a “Chevrolet” MVP by November 30, 2026 and move
over time to a full-scale “Rolls Royce”). 
What will be the Phases to go through (how many)?  What will be done (and by whom) in the first
Phase, deliverables, timing, cost.  Then
the second Phase, then following Phases.

Hopefully,
after approval of the Project Plan by the Founder, the person hired for this
role will continue, and produce the high school materials as described in the
Plan.  However, the DreamRoads Founder
has the right to choose someone else to proceed with the Execution if she feels
that is necessary.
