    A typical day for a STEM Instructor might include the following:

    • Design, develop, and lead engaging learning experiences; in-person instruction, virtual instruction, panel discussions, workshops, host STEM demonstrations with and without technical professionals, and mentor other instructors in best practices for creating safe learning environments.

    • Collaborate with subject matter experts to identify learning objectives for both theoretical and practical understanding of fundamental STEM concepts.

    • Create transferable learning materials for other instructors to use.

    • Grow a network of technical professionals that support employees interested in STEM education at SEL.

    • Adapt and repurpose existing training materials and resources; ensure scalability, update relevance for employees, and re-align with evolving program needs.

    • Review and recommend external training content such as e-learning modules, documentation resources, interactive modules, videos, and more that can be used to enhance STEM learning.

    • Utilize feedback from our stakeholders, learners, and leaders to improve program.

    • Incorporate instructional design best practices to produce high quality graphics, educational resources, and interactive components to enhance learning experiences.

    This job might be for you if:

    • You are energized by making complex concepts approachable to a broad audience of non-technical learners.

    • You are passionate about STEM learning, and you have experience teaching math and/or science.

    • You are interested in or have experience with how electricity and electrical components work.

    • You understand that many people self-identify as "not a STEM person", but you know that everyone has the capacity to learn and grow.

    • You are seeking a collaborative work environment that values creativity and innovation.

    • You know that people learn in different ways and learning by doing is an essential part of the learning process.

    • You are interested in a career that involves sharing your expertise with others and utilizing technology to enhance your own technical skills.

    • You enjoy creating connections between people and understand that learning experiences are just as valuable for learners as they are for instructors.

    If you're excited about igniting a passion for STEM education and are eager to collaborate with experts to craft immersive learning experiences, we invite you to join our team and be part of something truly extraordinary.
