SHARP LITERACY, INC

Part-Time/Flex STEAM Educator

SHARP's Educators play a critical role in keeping our mission running smoothly by stepping in to classrooms to lead one-hour, drop-in, hands-on STEAM workshops for students in grades K3 to 5th. This is a unique position for educators who want meaningful, purpose-driven part-time flexible work.

What makes this role different:

Our Educators are trained across our full K3–5^th grade STEAM curriculum. We'll invest the time to get you comfortable leading any session in our lineup, so you can step in to any classroom with confidence on a schedule that you've designed. Our programming serves students in the Milwaukee, Waukesha, and Racine areas.

Who we are:

SHARP is a nonprofit that has grown into a leading force for educational excellence throughout southeastern Wisconsin. We partner with educators to foster a love of learning through innovative, STEAM-based experiential programs. Grounded in community partnerships, our programming sparks curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking in K3 through 5th grade students by building the skills that set them up for success, no matter their circumstances.

What we're looking for:

• Availability Monday through Friday during school hours
• Comfort learning and delivering a range of hands-on, technology-based workshops across multiple grade levels
• Confidence engaging and managing a classroom independently, often with limited lead time
• Reliability, flexibility, and strong communication, since schools are counting on quick confirmation when a need arises

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in education, computer science, technology, the arts, or a related field preferred
• Experience working in school settings with diverse student populations
• Familiarity with teaching STEAM content to elementary students, or willingness to learn
• Strong technology skills and problem-solving ability; prior coding experience is a plus
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
• Positive attitude, flexibility, and dependability
• Must have reliable transportation
• Bilingual candidates will be given special consideration
