About the role
The WSE Evaluator plays a pivotal role in conducting comprehensive, participatory evaluations across TCF’s 2,000+-school network. You will blend rigorous qualitative and quantitative methods—classroom observations, interviews, surveys, assessments, and document reviews—to co-generate insights with principals, teachers, and learners. Your analyses and recommendations will fuel continuous improvement, safeguard integrity and neutrality in the field, and elevate educational outcomes in under-resourced contexts. This role is equal parts researcher, storyteller, and change-maker—ideal for someone who thrives on intellectual challenge, endless variety, and real impact.
Responsibilities

- Pattern Recognition & Analysis: Identify trends, correlations, and systemic gaps within qualitative and quantitative datasets to draw well-founded conclusions about teaching, learning, and operations.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Facilitate trust-based constructive meetings and discussions with principals, teachers, and learners to gather insights, validate findings, and foster co-ownership of evaluation outcomes with the Principal and the AEM.
- Report Preparation: Produce high-quality, concise evaluation reports in Urdu (and English, if needed), clearly outlining key strengths, areas for growth, and actionable, data-driven recommendations.
- Feedback & Presentation: Share findings with school leadership in a clear, solution-oriented manner—ensuring mutual understanding, buy-in, and commitment to next steps.
- Sensitive Conversation Management: Handle divergent viewpoints with professionalism, impartiality, and empathy—managing sensitive discussions to maintain trust and respect.
- Ethical Integrity: Uphold principles of neutrality, fairness, transparency, and confidentiality at all times, vigilantly avoiding conflicts of interest.
- Resilience & Adaptability: Thrive under pressure—juggle multiple priorities, meet tight deadlines, and remain flexible in dynamic, rapidly changing field environments without compromising objectivity.
- Prioritisation & Flexibility: Assess and reprioritise tasks in real time to respond effectively to emergent needs on-site, ensuring evaluation momentum is sustained.
- Research & Capacity-Building: Contribute to process improvement, support the design and refinement of evaluation tools, and assist in developing training materials to strengthen TCF’s evaluation practices and programme quality.
