**ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT**
The Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Learning Center is a platform for culturally responsive experiences that bring young people and the adults around them into dynamic and inspiring encounters with art and creativity. The Ryan Learning Center team:
- champions the role of art and culture in people’s lives,
- promotes access and equitable participation in art and the museum,
- fosters critical and creative thinking.
As a result, youth, teens, families, students, and educators from various backgrounds and abilities engage with each other and with works of art from across time, cultures, geographies, and identities, activating the museum as a place for learning, insight, inspiration, and community. These museum experiences enable young people and the adults around them to feel more connected and confident in their capacity to imagine, create, and make sense of art and their world.
**ABOUT THE POSITION**
As part of the area of K-12 Student Experiences, the Part-Time Educator provides instruction, contributes to curriculum development, and administrative support for in-museum, K-12 student learning experiences; contributes to training for a teaching corps that facilitates student experiences; and supports teacher inquiries and outreach related to student tours. These activities reflect a pedagogical vision and impact framework for the museum’s K-12 offerings that prioritizes access for all teachers and students to high-quality arts experiences across learning contexts, through an accessible, inclusive, multi-sensory, and multimodal approach, with a priority for Chicago Public Schools.
The Part-Time Educator collaborates with colleagues in the K-12 Student Experiences division, the Ryan Learning Center, and throughout the museum to carry out their responsibilities. A member of Chicago’s education and arts ecosystems, the Part-Time Educator facilitates culturally responsive museum engagement on a weekly basis, collaborating with teachers, schools, and communities to deepen audience connections and position the museum as a valuable space for connection, learning, and meaning-making.
This position is expected to work 9:00-5:00 three weekdays (Thursdays required, ranked preference for Fridays, Mondays, and Wednesdays) on-site with occasional weekend and evening hours required. Performs other duties as assigned. Due to tour scheduling, the Part-Time Educator should not plan extended time off in March, April, or May.
Required attendance for training held from September 5-28 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, 9:00 am - 1:00 pm. Training will include a combination of lesson observations, workshops, and at-home readings or resource review. Additional time for collaborative practice will be flexibly scheduled and communicated in advance.
