Community STEAM Coaches Make Science Happen
Community STEAM Coaches Make Science Happen
The community STEAM coaches are a group of community members who volunteer to help support STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) education in Tillamook School District #9. They work as little or as much as they like in whatever capacity in which they feel comfortable. Some help out just once in the year at an event , while others help out at several events. We would not be able to make all these activities and programs happen without them.
STEAM coaches can be stay at home parents, grandparents, retired professionals, or working people who can get away from their jobs for a day or as part of their jobs.
Roles of Volunteers
Roles of Volunteers
Field Trips as an activity leader (labs and activities created by teachers, you facilitate student involvement)
Field Trips as an assistant (provide assistance setting and cleaning up and keeping activities running)
There are usually 60 - 200 students on each trip. We break them into groups of 8-15 and with six or more stations they rotate through. There are two replicates of each station for the large groups. We need 12 coaches for those field trips, smaller ones only require 6 coaches. We also have around 4-8 high school or community college students to help the community science coaches do their job, as well as chaperones.
A STEAM Coach can be as involved as they desire, working with one grade level or at many grade levels.
