Contact Information: Craig Ducey | Columbia River Region | crr.asprs@gmail.com Dave Brown | Puget Sound Region | Dave.Brown@terraremote.com Job Announcement: Elementary school seeks a mapmaker for geographic literacy program
Schmitz Park Elementary School, located in West Seattle, is seeking a cartographer/GIS specialist to create maps for its Global Passport Program. Global Passport is a geographic literacy program for students in grades K to 5. Each month, students receive a study map with a list of highlighted places; at month’s end, volunteers check students’ newly-acquired knowledge. Historically, we have used materials from Passport Club, a non-profit organization. However, Passport Club’s monthly lists of places literally span the globe, with no coherent organizational themes. This year, we have redesigned the program around regional concepts so that it makes more instructional sense. To suit the new structure, we have been creating our own maps, using a National Geographic tool. The quality of these maps is somewhat low, however. Thus, we are hoping to hire a mapmaker to generate maps for the remainder of the academic year. Compensation would be in the range of $15-$18 per hour. For details about the Global Passport Program (and to view maps created thus far), go to: http://www.schmitzparkes.seattleschools.org/ Click on the Academics tab along the left-side bar, then select Global Passport Program. If you are interested in this job, or for further information, please contact: Nancy Fisher-Allison, Librarian Schmitz Park Elementary School 5000 SW Spokane Street Seattle, WA 98116 nafisheralliso@seattleschools.org 206-252-9706 Geoloqi, a portland-based start-up, has been bought by ESRI who plans to turn the Portland office into a new research & development hub.
