Learn more about what curriculum coordinators do in their day-to-day jobs by conducting an informational interview with them. Ask your school's career services office for help with setting up interviews. Prepare beforehand a list of questions covering topics such as how they got started in their career, what they like most about the work, and what advice they have for people interested in this field.
Participating in professional associations will give you access to publications, industry events, and education programs. For example, the ASCD offers webinars and online learning, conferences, and other resources for curriculum coordinators and other education professionals.
