Curiosity Hacked is starting the search in the Bay Area for some new hires on a project we will be announcing very soon. Initially, the positions will be part time (starting in January 2016) at the Oakland Lab with the possibility of full time next fall. Interested educators should be willing and open to use making and hacking as a catalyst to child centered learning and familiar (or willing to become so) with Unschooling, Agile Learning, Free Schools, and the Alternative Education movement. We are looking for candidates who are deeply interested in developmental and constructivist pedagogy, and who genuinely enjoy working with middle and high school age youth. Also, all kinds of creative educators should apply, as we have a strong mentoring program for our staff. We are less interested in whether or not they have a credential and more interested in finding mentors who are invested in supporting self directed learning! If you know someone who might be interested, please send them to info at curiosityhacked dot org. Thanks!
