Day in the Life (STEAM Pathways): Clock-in and join your team at Powell Elementary to welcome students for the day and chat with parents! It’s Wednesday, so students will be working with actors in an improv class that focuses on expanding creative confidence— you encourage staff to make connections to yesterday’s photography course. While
observing each classroom, you jump in to model how to ask higher-order questions for one of your more junior co-teaching teams. In the middle of class, you receive a call that a Teaching Artist at your other site is feeling sick—you immediately send them home and figure out how to best support your team while following protocols. Before clocking out, you check-in with the leadership team by Slack letting them know this week’s timesheets are approved and evaluation data has been uploaded. Head home with a smile!

How to Apply: Interested candidates, please send your résumé, two work references and a cover letter detailing your related experience and how you can advance the mission of Dramatic Results to humanresources AT dramaticresults DOT org.
