Tech Career Question 2

I chose the job title of Education Consultant II (9-12 Social Studies Consultant)

The qualifications are: masters degree in any social studies content area and 4 years classroom teaching experience, preference will be given to someone who incorporates digital literacy into their instruction.

The position includes:
using technology tools, clarifying curriculum goals, developing training materials, identifying and locating resources related to curriculum, delivering quality training etc.

I would apply for th job. I have a love of technology and Social Studies. It would be like combining two of my loves together so I guess it would be the perfect job for me. I teach 2 classes daily of 5th grade social studies and it's my most favorite time of the day.

You seem to have found a job that you feel is a good fit. That's always a nice thing. Is this position a designer/teacher position?

It does sound ideal for you. Hopefully there will be one similar to it closer to our grad time!

Kim,

Sounds like you would get the best of both worlds! It would also give you a chance to get expertise at the 9-12 level, which can be quite different from the 5th grade level. I would say go for it...you can do it!
