We are seeking a Science, Math, and Integrated STEM Education Specialist to join our Office of Teaching, Learning & Assessment team at the Oregon Department of Education (ODE). This is a permanent position represented by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).

This position follows a hybrid work model. Onsite presence will be required when business or operational needs are best supported in person, such as collaboration, training, or work that requires access to onsite resources. This position requires occasional statewide travel to schools, districts, Educational Service Districts (ESDs), conferences, and partner meetings to provide technical assistance, professional learning, and partner engagement. A driver’s license, an acceptable driving record, a personal vehicle, or an alternative means of transportation are required for this position.

This position typically works a standard Monday through Friday schedule. Occasional evening and/or weekend work may be required. Employees approved to work remotely must have a reliable and secure internet connection and maintain a professional work environment that supports productivity. While working remotely, employees are expected to maintain the same level of performance, responsiveness, communication, and availability as they would in the office.

You will lead research, development and implementation of statewide academic content standards and High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) in science. This position provides technical assistance and professional learning (this includes curriculum-based professional learning) to local education agencies and educators to support the consistent use of equitable and rigorous instructional practices aligned with HQIM. The position also provides collaboration between science, math, and integrated STEM education leaders within Education Service Districts (ESDs), districts, state, national organizations, and with community partners to identify and elevate best practices around culturally sustaining instruction that drive instructional improvement and equitable student outcomes within Oregon’s education system.

• Developing and maintaining science academic content standards and assessment practices for science, as well as High-Quality Instructional Materials for science, math, and integrated STEM education.

• Providing technical support and training to educators, administrators, and other Local Education Agency (LEA) staff on implementation requirements pertaining to the area of science academic content standards and best science instructional practices.

• Building partnerships to leverage available resources, including federal funding, for expanding school-wide and district-wide capacity to improve instruction in the area of science, mathematics, and STEM education.
• Supporting the implementation of ODE's strategic plan. This also includes tracking most recent research and best practice around HQIM implementation and incorporating and contributing to HQIM communication with internal and external partners.
