posted: Apr 09, 2010 and closes: May 09, 2011 Description and DetailsThe John Dorr Nature Laboratory is one of the four campuses of the Horace Mann School, and is the school's outdoor education center. The school is an independent, coeducational day school located in New York City and is comprised of 1780 students in nursery years through high school. The Dorr Lab is located in Washington, Connecticut, a small community in the western part of the state. The rural setting of the campus provides ideal sites for adventure and environmental education programs.
Programs are conducted for students in nursery years through twelfth grade, and last from one to eight days. All programs are designed to enhance the curriculum at each grade level; however, the one thread common to all the programs is that they emphasize the cooperative aspects of learning and living as opposed to competition and individualization.
The position requires a person who enjoys working with students of all ages, who has a minimum of a bachelor's degree, and who has experience and training in the following areas: teaching environmental and adventure education; facilitating group problem-solving; rock climbing and rope courses; winter backpacking and camping; ability to work interdependently as well as alone on projects; and Wilderness First Responder certification. This is a full-time faculty position. The person filling it must be available from August 9, 2010 through June 18, 2011.
