Tinkering Teacher, After School Enrichment
Make a difference to elementary aged girls!
This spring, several of our teachers are graduating and leaving for new jobs and new university programs. We will have 1-2 positions open, starting after Labor Day, teaching 13-15 hours/week within the hours of 2-5pm on weekdays.
Job Description:
Do you love to teach or tutor science, math, or engineering? Do you like to work with elementary aged children? Do you enjoy crafting? We are looking for energetic teachers in our summer camp teaching girls how to tinker. Curriculum and on the job training are provided. You need to show up on time (or early!) with great energy and a positive attitude, and help kids realize that they can solve engineering problems. Our curriculum involves hands-on projects, tailored to the way that girls learn. We believe that mistakes are good because they grow your brain, and we encourage girls to figure out the process for themselves, with us supporting them along the way, without taking over their projects. We are not a cookie-cutter program.
This is a great job for teachers, college/grad students, gardening teachers and tutors looking for extra work. We will have openings for one lead teacher and one assistant teacher who can work at least twice a week during after school hours, starting after Labor Day.
