assistant curriculum developer


Explanation:
Hi,

In the field of education and pedagogy, I don't see the usage of editor or sub editor which is more relevant to Journalism. I guess redacteur here is more of developer and so syllabus or curriculum developer is relevant in this field. And secondaire could be an assistant or deputy. Assistant seems more appropriate

neutral  Sophie Roger: I see your point. Hence my suggestion of "co-author / additional collaborator"
1 hr
disagree  Speakering (X): well, are they developing the curriculum or just editing it? and if developing, wouldn't we use a word different from redacteur? they just read what lets say the teachers have wrote and check for grammar and overall clarity of the text.

Assistant writer


Explanation:
Depending on further context, this may fit. I believe the collocation is syllabus writer for someone actually developing the curriculum (or developer).

Of course, the context here requires use of the term "assistant syllabus writer"

agree  Helen Shiner: This sounds most likely to me, as long as it is assistant syllabus writer, which I am sure is what you intend.

co-author / additional collaborator


Explanation:
Only a suggestion if it is after all copy writing, and not editing you are looking for. If it is editing, "sub-editor" as proposed by Priyanka Nabar is the one.

En réponse à Speakering:
Je crois que "copy writer" est proche de "rédacteur de copie" (plein de références, particulièrement dans le domaine de la publicité). Ici, la différence est: est-ce que c'est une personne qui édite (sub editor as per Priyanka Nabar) ou une personne qui écrit, qui crée le texte, d'où my suggestion d'auteur. A johaina
de décider, selon le contexte.
