Who We Are

MOOSE Instructional Designers

MOOSE Instructional Designers are the heart of the work we do with MOOSE and are found through open calls for applications two or more times a year. All Maine educators are eligible to apply (e.g., classroom teachers, curriculum leaders, and representatives from Maine educational organizations such as museums, libraries, educational centers, etc.). Instructional Designers are tasked with creating modules that center on interdisciplinary, project-based learning experiences that are accessible and inclusive. These stipend-based positions involve an average of 8-10 hours a week over the span of roughly 5 months and include substantial professional development and community building.

MOOSE Specialists

MOOSE Specialists facilitate a team of Instructional Designers in the design and creation of engaging and accessible modules that focus on identified topic areas.
