Rachelle Schauben
@rachelleschauben
Experienced curriculum quality assurance specialist and educational therapist focused on evidence-based learning.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced educator and curriculum quality assurance specialist with deep expertise in instructional design, assessment alignment, and academic editing. I bring a systems-level approach to reviewing online courses for accuracy, compliance, and learner engagement.
I have a strong background across K–12 and higher education and maintain advanced skills in structured literacy, APA 7th edition, and evidence-based pedagogy. I design and implement individualized instruction for diverse learners, including students with learning disabilities.
In my curriculum review work I produce detailed feedback, contribute to QA rubrics and checklists, and collaborate with instructional designers and faculty to close alignment gaps and improve outcomes. I integrate educational technology and AI-supported tools responsibly, emphasizing human-in-the-loop review and ethical use.
I am remote-ready and experienced in scalable, detail-intensive roles that demand regulatory compliance, accessibility, and measurable learner impact. I seek opportunities to apply my curriculum QA, instructional design, and editing strengths to improve online learning experiences.
