Education Assistant
The Education Assistant will join NPS staff in providing curriculum-based environmental education programming through virtual distance learning, visits to classrooms, going to community events, and in-park programming. The Shenandoah National Park Education Team relishes the opportunity to provide engaging educational programs and memorable experiences to learners from nearby large urban centers and local communities. These experiences enable visitors and students to better understand our natural resources and connect with the values of public lands stewardship.
Using established outlines and curriculum, this SIP participant will assist current education staff by conducting independently-delivered distance learning programs on a variety of natural science topics including ecosystems, habitats, geology, and history in our state-of-the-art distance learning studio. There will also be opportunities for creating new programming throughout the season. In collaboration with their team, the Education Assistant will also facilitate late spring and early summer experiential hands-on environmental education experiences to students during on-site fieldtrips to the park.
