The CFL Educator will deliver informal science programming spanning a wide variety of physical and natural science topics and in a range of learning environments. Teaching in after-school, weekend, and other seasonal programs as needed, the CFL Educator must rely on adaptive teaching styles that respond to the needs of a diverse cross-section of program participants and integrate assets of the Museum (e.g., using Museum Halls and collections to support learning).

  • Collaborate successfully with parents and families to support learning goals for all programs.
  • Support and collaborate with colleagues and staff of the CFL division, the Education department, and across the Museum to create a robust community of practice.
  • Assist with classroom and learning environment upkeep and maintenance and participate in routine husbandry tasks for the CFL live animal collection, as needed.
  • Must be available for occasional weekend work.

  • One year of experience teaching children or youth, preferably in informal settings.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Master's degree in education, museum education, or another related field
  • Experience in physical or natural science fieldwork or a laboratory setting.
  • Ability to speak Spanish.
