Company Description

At San Diego Youth Science (SDYS), we design and teach custom, hands-on curricula that enrich in-school science instruction across partnering campuses. Our inquiry-based lab sessions spark natural curiosity and transform students into active investigators through authentic, student-driven experimentation. By directly collaborating with local scientists and integrating their ongoing research into our labs, we bring cutting-edge, place-based phenomena to life, connecting students and classroom teachers to real-world discoveries happening locally.

Role Description

We’re looking for a passionate, part-time Science Educator to join our fun and dynamic team! You’ll inspire UTK–8th grade students with engaging, hands-on science lessons and work alongside fellow educators to foster a creative, inclusive learning environment. With flexible hours, competitive pay, and plenty of room for growth, this role is perfect for anyone who loves both science and education.

What You’ll Do

Deliver Dynamic Science Labs: Facilitate high-energy, hands-on science lessons in elementary classrooms, outdoor field sites, and coastal environments (including tidepools and dirt trails).
Master & Personalize Curriculum: Thoroughly review lab materials, scientific equipment, and curricula prior to instruction to lead lessons with accuracy, creativity, and enthusiasm.
Collaborative Instruction: Teach independently or co-teach alongside team members, adapting instruction to foster curiosity and active inquiry for diverse K–12 learners.
Manage Materials & Logistics: Oversee the setup, breakdown, and transport of lab equipment, including soil, water-testing units, preserved artifacts, and live specimens.
Maintain Safety & Engagement: Employ positive group management strategies to ensure a safe, inclusive, and structured environment during complex hands-on investigations.
Serve as a Community Ambassador: Represent the organization with warmth and clarity when interacting with students, classroom teachers, school administrators, and families.

What We’re Looking For

An adaptable, high-energy educator who genuinely loves working with youth and inspiring scientific curiosity.
A clear, enthusiastic communicator confident in public speaking and small-group engagement.
A collaborative team player who takes initiative, problem-solves on the fly, and maintains high standards of reliability and punctuality.

Experience: 1-2 years direct experience teaching hands-on K–12 science learning in classroom or informal settings (e.g., museums, nature centers, aquariums, or field sites).
Pedagogical Alignment: Demonstrated commitment to a positive classroom environment; equity, diversity, and inclusive instructional practices.
Credentials: Valid California Teaching Credential or Emergency Substitute Credential preferred (must be obtained before or upon employment).

Physical Requirements & Logistics

Background Check: LiveScan fingerprint check and professional reference contacts.
Physical Stamina: Ability to stand, move, and actively instruct for up to 5–6 hours per day on varied terrain (sand, dirt trails, tidepools, uneven rocks).
Lifting Capacity: Ability to lift, carry, and maneuver equipment bins weighing up to 50 lbs.
Animal & Specimen Handling: Comfortable handling live local marine/terrestrial organisms (eg.- crabs, sea urchins, snails, mice, snakes, insects, etc.) and scientific artifacts.
Transportation: Reliable transportation to school sites throughout San Diego County.
Punctual and Professional: Science lab set up can be as early as 7:00 am at schools.

Position Details
