The Rogers Historical Museum, a department of the City of Rogers, is seeking a part-time Seasonal Educator to teach the “A Day at the Rocky Branch One-Room Schoolhouse” field trip program, according to the museum’s curriculum standards, to students in grades K-8 at the historic Rocky Branch One-Room Schoolhouse (about 12 miles east of Rogers, Arkansas) from April 1-May 15, 2026.

The Seasonal Educator must be able to work independently, under the supervision of the museum’s Education Manager, dressed in period costume provided by the museum and while being on their feet most of the day. Salary is $20 per hour for five‑and‑a‑half (5.5) hours per day, up to 5 (five) days per week Monday through Friday. Hours of work begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 2:00 p.m. Previous teaching experience is preferred.

Mileage and contract wage will be paid by the Rogers Historical Museum.

The ideal candidate should have a passion for history and education. In addition to a sharp attention to detail and organization, the ideal candidate will demonstrate an ability to work independently in following instructions to complete assigned tasks. Excellent communication skills, both oral and written, are a must. Preference will be given to applicants who have experience volunteering and/or working for a historical organization or museum.

“A Day at the Rocky Branch One-Room Schoolhouse” curriculum is focused around early childhood education in one-room school houses in the Arkansas Ozarks from around 1905, the year of Rocky Branch School’s founding, and provides students with opportunities to compare and contrast education now and then. A combination of period inspired lessons, games, and activities enhance students’ immersion to experience first‑hand elements of the past.

Due to the location of this program being in a historic building without A/C or heat, it is only able to be offered in April, May, September, and October when outside temperatures and weather conditions are most favorable.

• Ability to teach twenty (20) to fifty (50) students of various ages in grades K-8
• Responsible for instruction of the program’s curriculum standards relating to the historical significance of the school house and early 20th century rural education in the Arkansas Ozarks
• Manage the cleaning and organization of the school building for each day’s fieldtrip

• Possession of a bachelor’s and/or graduate degree in history or education, or minimum 2 years equivalent teaching experience, preferably in a museum or educational institution

• Good physical condition (able to climb stairs, walk on uneven surfaces, stoop and bend, lift and/or move moderately heavy objects, walk moderate distances, and stand for extended periods of time)
• Ability to establish and maintain good working relationships with museum employees, volunteers, and the public
