Eskwelabs is looking for data science and data analytics practitioners who are passionate about education!
We are a group of passionate educators at a data education startup that focuses on learning through project work and mentorship, not traditional lectures and exams! We are looking for people who are passionate not just about data science but also about innovating to produce a different educational experience that is fun, social, learner-driven, and exciting for all to participate in.
We are looking for full-time or part-time team members who can use their knowledge and experience in data to develop curriculum, prepare learner journeys, identify learner projects, lead learning sessions, and oversee a successful bootcamp.
Role
The Education team develops, carries out, and monitors the preparation of young people for careers in data science. This includes the following actions:
- Work closely with the Eskwelabs executive team, particularly the COO, and with instructors, teaching assistants, bootcamp community operators, agency associates, and any other Eskwelabs staff in the planning and execution of Eskwelabs Data Science bootcamps, courses, and other activities
- Plan bootcamps and courses, including course curriculum, activities, user experiences, processes, and technology recommendations
- Develop, produce, review, and update learning materials including instructional presentations, interactive exercises, templates, activity prompts, reference materials, and answer keys
- Teach and facilitate classes and coach students as needed throughout the bootcamps and courses, and prepare other teachers, facilitators, or assistants to do so with teaching, facilitation, or community guides and SOPs
- Monitor and analyze learner outcomes and class progress, review lesson effectiveness, and identify issues and address them
Expectations
Beyond core roles, Education team members are expected to continually develop their own skills along three axes – Knowledge of Data Science, Pedagogy and Coaching, and Project Management & Communication. In return, Eskwelabs will support team members to create their own personal development plans and provide opportunities, coaching, and/or materials to support you in your own lifelong learning journey.
Education team members should expect to be challenged and to be pushed to take on responsibilities that will help them to grow along all three axes.
The Data Science Education Team Lead should expect to take on roles of greater seniority and responsibility across all three axes, including managing complex projects and supporting the rest of the team to develop their own skills.
