Outlook

The No Child Left Behind Act, which was signed into law in 2002, is affecting schools. These standards are changing how reading, math, and science are taught. Instructional coordinators are needed to develop curricula and train teachers on the changes and new technologies. This means that workers with experience in those areas should have the best chances of finding a job.

Some job growth will also be because of the increasing emphasis on lifelong learning, and programs for students with special needs. In addition, many educators are expected to retire in the next few years and this will create additional openings for instructional coordinators.
