While searching on Monster.com, the position of Education Curriculum Specialist caught my eye. This job is for a person to help create classroom, after-school, lab, and web based curriculum for The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, CA. While the majority of the job revolves around the creation and design of curriculum, there are also opportunities to observe and deliver educational content. Requirements for the job include a BS in Education, experience creating lesson plans, experience working in science education, a talent for teaching, the ability to make complex science concepts accessible to k-12 students, high energy, and enthusiasm.
I feel that a job along these lines is exactly the kind of thing I can see myself doing in the future. I have a deep respect for science and actually considered pursuing my Master's in Science Education before I decided on Instructional Technology. In a technology based science museum, I could follow both of those passions as well as be given the opportunity to create and design curriculum. The one downside to the job is that the teaching is limited and I would love to work with k-12 students on a fairly regular basis. While this job caters two of my interests, I feel that the lack of teaching might be enough to pass on the position.

Job itself sounds interesting--but CA doesn't thrill me. Why did you not go the science route?
I enjoy Science also. The job sounds very interesting.
This sounds like a great position. And imagine the resources you could potentially have at your disposal with Silicon Valley so near.
That job sounds like fun and a challenge. I wish it were closer to NC.
