Hi Jenn,
The first position you shared sounds amazing. To be able to work on implementing dynamic programs and provide staff training to ensure the implementation and fidelity hold true. That’s right up my alley. Science used to be exciting and then that went away, at least in my world :). I think it is making a comeback and I couldn’t be happier! My son participates in an after school STEAM program that he very much enjoys! I wish his whole school day was STEAM centered but I’ll take what he can get 🙂
