K-12 Education Expert

AI Training & Evaluation • Independent Contractor • Remote • Weekly Payouts

Role Overview

• Mercor is seeking senior K-12 education professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in large school district and public education contexts.

• The workflows are calibrated to the instructional complexity, stakeholder diversity, and student-outcome stakes of large public school districts and state education systems.

• Contributors design K-12 education scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior educators and district leaders think.

Key Responsibilities

• Construct K-12 scenarios spanning curriculum design and adoption, multi-stakeholder IEP/504 planning, and complex district budget or policy review cycles.

• Build education tasks across instructional design, classroom differentiation and special education, assessment and standards alignment, student support services, and family/community engagement.

• Develop education operations scenarios involving tools such as PowerSchool, Canvas/Google Classroom, state assessment platforms, and district-level MTSS/RTI systems.

• Apply K-12 pedagogical frameworks (Universal Design for Learning, standards-based grading, data-driven instruction, restorative practices) and produce reference lesson plans, IEP documentation, and administrator-level communications.

• Author rubrics that distinguish authentic K-12 educator judgment from generic pedagogical or textbook recall.

Ideal Qualifications

• 5+ years teaching, administering, or leading instruction at a public or private K-12 school, district office, or state education agency.

• Direct ownership of classroom instruction, IEP/special education caseloads, curriculum programs, or school/district-level initiatives.

• Fluency in K-12 education tooling and frameworks, plus understanding of how school budgets, state standards compliance, and family/community engagement actually work.

• Prior rubric, curriculum-writing, or teacher-training content authorship is a plus.
