Summary
The Division of Extension and Engagement is seeking a Climate Change Curriculum Coordinator. This is a full-time (1.00 FTE), 12-month, professional faculty position.
The Division of Extension and Engagement is seeking applications for a Climate Change Curriculum Coordinator for a USDA National Institute for Food and Agriculture’s (NIFA) Youth Innovators Empowering Agriculture Across America Coordination Network (YEA-CN TIYA grant) project. This position is housed within the Division’s Extension Outdoor School program. The Climate Change Curriculum Coordinator reports to the Director of the Outdoor School program.
The NIFA YEA program aims to enhance existing curricula or develop new curricula for youth and adults to explore USDA priorities (i.e., agricultural research, education, and extension) and develop opportunities for youth to participate in civic engagement programs, while incorporating access and participation among underrepresented youth/communities and culturally relevant experiential learning projects. The Climate Change Curriculum YEA project involves leading the development of youth climate change curriculum with an emphasis on smart agriculture and forestry.
The Climate Change Curriculum Coordinator will provide primary coordination for the project, including but not limited to: working with Division faculty and staff to develop and strengthen collaborations with partners (such as educators and professionals at land-grant universities, including tribal colleges and universities); convening a project planning team comprising stakeholders from partner organizations; managing contracted curriculum writers from diverse partner organizations; developing and implementing pilot program(s) for testing and revision of lesson plans; and managing the project budget. This person will help develop and execute a comprehensive curriculum plan for the project that is inclusive, equitable, and reflects the multi-dimensional diversity of youth. The Climate Change Curriculum YEA project is one of several projects, across institutions, funded under the NIFA YEA program. All YEA projects are part of a coordinated network that is managed by the OSU Division of Extension and Engagement through a YEA-CN (Coordinating Network) grant.
The position is based in Corvallis, OR. Other locations in Oregon will be considered.
