Job Description
Director of Education Exploration Place is searching for a Director of Education to lead the next chapter of science discovery in Wichita. This is a role for someone who lights up at the chance to spark curiosity - a leader who believes science has the power to change how kids see the world, and who can rally a team around that mission every single day. You'll set the vision and quality standard for everything we do in education: school programs, live science shows, summer camps, public programming, and community outreach. You'll mentor a passionate team, build deep partnerships with school districts and community organizations, and steward the KDHE-licensed camp programs that are a hallmark of summer at Exploration Place. The right candidate is structured, resilient, and steady in the chaos - equally comfortable shaping long-term strategy and stepping into a classroom when the moment calls for it. If you believe that wonder is contagious and that great science education changes lives, we want to hear from you. Candidates must have a bachelor's degree in education, museum studies or a related field, master's degree preferred. Experience supervising and coaching staff, building community partnerships, managing educational programming and overseeing budgets preferred. Candidate must have a minimum of 3 - 5 years experience in informal education, museum education or a related field. Exploration Place offers a comprehensive benefit package, including a 401(k) program, health benefits, paid vacation and sick leave. This salaried position generally works 40 hours per week, primarily Monday - Friday with occasional evenings, weekends and holidays for special events or high-traffic periods. Apply online.
