Robotics/STEM Coordinator Job Description

[Coach Norm]

I am in the process on writing a proposal for a Robotics/STEM coordinator position for my school district. If you have any information on job descriptions, goals, roles, expectations, please pass it along to me.

I am interested in contacting others who might be in this position or looking to do such a proposal as well.

My proposal will be a half a day teaching and half a day as coordinator.

I will compile and repost all resources that are share with me.

Thanks in advance,

Norman

Let me know when the job is posted ;-)

Seriously, though, you might want to contact Adrienne Emerson from 148...I could be mistaken, but I think that's her job title at Greenville ISD.

[RoboMom]

Let me know if you would like to be introduced to the person doing this in a school district in northern VA. Send me an email.

John Larock (Mr. MOE) has FIRST as part of his job description for DuPont. While not a teaching position, I'm sure some of the bullet points can be applied.

Norm,

I'm in the same boat writing my own job description right now :)
But in all seriousness I working on a similar project right now so feel free to PM me so we can work together. Luis from 118 and I were talking about working on some projects like this to put together for other teams on how to structure school programs. I'd love to have a few more people involved!

[2789_B_Garcia]

Would love to see what y'all come up with, I'm hoping to push our district to create a similar position in another year or so!

I will definitely share what resources I am provided by others as well as the final proposal.

I think we will be seeing more districts looking for these kinds of positions/individuals.

Please make this a white paper when you're done.

And tell us about what considerations you took into account when creating it.

I'm just an English teacher ;) but interested in expanding my certifications eventually to include technology. This kind of information is great for developing curriculum!

I have not posted anything yet.

I do have some documents that I am trying to put together as a white paper for posting here on CD.

I will share my submission this week for my position.

[pribusin]

I don't mean to be a pest but have you made any progress on the job description yet?

[Coach Norm]

You are not being a pest.

I have submitted my proposal to our district but have not heard any more concerning the description.

I will be posting a write up in a few weeks over my proposal as well as some others I got feedback from. I have a few emails out still waiting for people to send me documents. I am also awaiting approval from a few to post their documents as well.

My proposal is below. It was not very detailed as I figured it was a first pass at the administration and there would be some back and forth.
