Willard Alternative High school School - 24 high school students, (grades 10-12); general river ecology and family science curriculum and activities testing. Willard is a relaxed and open to students learning in wide array of activities and their own 'quiet time' - sketching, writing, blogging, and journaling. Field trip is along the Clark Fork river, west of Boone and Crockett. Class is split in two groups to do water monitoring similar to Stream Team and nature journaling/Citizen Science Activities.

You would be acting in an assistant or educator role, depending on your comfort level and experienced. We completely train you on what the activities are for the day/class. You would also mostly shadow for your first outing with us, to get a feel for what field trips are like. Field trips are pretty relaxed events, where one of your biggest jobs is actually making sure that the students are staying safe. Activities usually parallel the Stream Team protocols, where students rotate through stations. Bugs and velocity are usually the main events, tailored to the age of the students.

While prior experience is helpful, this is a great way to get experience working with kids of all ages and experience levels. We will train you as we go, and we will make sure you feel prepared for everything we are doing!

If you have questions, please feel free to email us at any point, and we would gladly talk you through things, and answer anything you are wondering about!
