With South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve, you will live, work and explore the towering coniferous forests and rugged coastline iconic to the southern Oregon coast. The Estuary Explorers Educator designs and implements after school activities that immerse elementary students in engaging science, technology, engineering, art & math (STEAM) activities. Teaching topics are focused on estuaries, watersheds, local culture, and spectacular landscapes. The Educator will work with guidance from the experienced Reserve education team, following a framework developed by previous members. The Educator recruits and trains high school student interns to assist with delivery of extracurricular activities based on science and exploration. The Educator will maintain and build relationships with schools and other partners in the community to continue to bring these valuable programs to the students who need them most. The Educator will also support and learn from other Reserve education programs and research projects, incorporating that knowledge into the Estuary Explorers lessons.
