I lead the school and outreach programs at the museum. I write grants to fund science programs with schools. I plan, market, and budget programs. I interview and hire 15-20 teachers a year. I work closely with other program managers and developers.
Teamwork is vital.
Meetings take up from six to fifteen hours per week. I feel fortunate to have a variety of responsibilities, challenges, plus autonomy. I used to teach half-time and now only occasionally teach. I miss this creative, high-energy outlet. The philosophy-based classes provided a good background.
