Science, technology & crafts program for kids & adults needs TEACHERS & Assistant Teachers

Description
Enjoy working with elementary school age kids? Love building with cardboard, empty water bottles and other scrap materials? Like crafts and tinkering with simple electronics? Available in the afternoons? Part time (possibly full time) teachers and assistant teachers needed weekday afternoons and some evenings and weekends for a creative science and engineering after school program in Manhattan. Teaching degree NOT necessary. We need enthusiastic craft people who have experience working with groups of children. Our classes are held at school locations as well as at our own new facility. Lesson plans and projects will be provided and teachers are welcome to develop activities within our guidelines. Most important - You must be comfortable working with groups of elementary school age kids. It helps if you also love working with cardboard and recycled materials. Must be able to pass a background check. Classes are all in Manhattan. See our website Dazzlingdiscoveries.com for an overview of our programs.

We are looking for people who will commit to a regular schedule but we will also consider proposals for short term workshops that can be held at our location.

Additional work available if you are interested/able to help with social media, marketing & PR. Our prime need is for teachers but the job can be expanded if you are looking for more than a part time job. We recently expanded Dazzling Discoveries after school science program to include 3D printing and other technologies and opened our own facility (opened Feb 1 2014). Please mention if you are interested in this expanded role as well when responding to the ad.
