The Wagner Free Institute of Science seeks a part-time Children’s Educator, available to work 25-30 hours/week. This position works as part of the Education Department to develop and implement school-based outreach programs serving neighborhood K-8 students, including the award-winning GeoKids program, an intensive hands-on science program for local elementary schools. GeoKids is a yearlong school day program, now in its 33rd year, which relies on collaborative relationships with teachers, university partners and organizations across the city to create and deliver a hands-on science curriculum. The program takes place primarily within school classrooms and includes out-of-school field experiences, designed and facilitated by Wagner educators. The Wagner’s outreach programs require a skilled educator with an understanding of science and teaching. We encourage individuals from racially marginalized communities to apply because we believe having a staff that reflects the community we serve is critical to our ability to be culturally responsive. 

As a member of the Children’s Education department, this educator will be part of a team of educators that facilitate museum programming for children and families. In addition to GeoKids, these programs include school field trips, museum engagement activities, Family Science Saturdays and Wagner to Go. The Children’s Educator supports the promotion of Wagner programming to the community and represents the museum in community based and citywide outreach events. All Wagner staff are trained to engage museum visitors, work in a historic site and are key to keeping the collection accessible.
