2 weeks ago
The Director of Education is responsible for the design and execution of programming at the Henry B. Tippie National Aviation Education Center. These educational programs incorporate elements of STEM, history, geography and workforce development topics to inspire students’ interest in aviation. The development of distance learning and e-learning programs is a critical goal over the next 2 years. Current programming includes Camp SOAR for elementary and middle school students, A is for Aerospace at the Pre-Kindergarten to 2nd grade level, and the Home Front Experience—a WWII simulation aimed at grades 4-12. Additional programs focus on workforce development such as Project Cub, a restoration of a 1946 J-3 Cub aircraft directed by a contracted Aircraft Restoration Project Manager. The Director of Education will focus on the growth of current programming with an eye toward future planning.
The Henry B. Tippie National Aviation Education Center is the flagship educational project of the Commemorative Air Force. The NAEC located at the Dallas Executive Airport provides hands-on learning opportunities and experiences for all ages. The 47,000 square foot facility is dedicated to education with the mission to Honor the Past, Empower the Future. The museum wing includes the world’s largest collection of authentic World War II nose art, a theater, and exhibits with artifacts to honor the contributions of diverse populations. Visitors are inspired by aviation and history while learning impactful stories of heroes in World War II. The James C. Ray Education Wing houses workshops, leadership simulations, and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) programs in a more formal setting.
