WE ARE LOOKING FOR AN EDUCATOR TO HELP US WITH OUR FREE TEACHER WORKSHOP PROGRAM!
We are seeking a SCRAP-loving teacher to assist in teaching our workshops for SF educators. We seek applicants with experience teaching in K-12 classrooms (preferably public school) as well as some background providing professional development to adult learners. Curriculum is focused on hands-on projects and creative reuse to enliven the classroom and deepen student engagement. Applicants should come with ideas for projects as well as an open-mind towards collaborating with other instructors.
Workshops take place after school, evenings and sometimes weekends with a small group of educators in our SCRAP classroom. Materials are sourced from the SCRAP depot; the instructor will select materials to be used in the workshop and to inspire participants towards greater use of SCRAP as a classroom resource. All grade-levels (K-12) and subject areas are welcome. We prefer applicants with a range of creative ideas and demonstrated enthusiasm for hands-on joyful learning experiences.
TO APPLY, EMAIL DANIELLE GRANT/danielle@scrap-sf.org with your CV and brief letter of interest.
