Academic Educator(s) at UTEC (Lowell, MA)

Posted on by

UTEC has a job opportunity for Tufts students and alumni. See details in the message below:

My name is Rachel Shapiro. I’m a 2016 graduate of the Tufts MAT program. Last year, after teaching high school for several years, I started working at UTEC, a nonprofit organization in Lowell, MA that supports young adults to overcome systemic barriers to their success. Within the organization’s workforce development program, I help participants prepare for their High School Equivalency Tests and support their social-emotional learning. As a passionate educator who was feeling burnt out in a traditional school setting, this has been an amazing professional transition for me. This role has all the parts of teaching I love (building relationships, supporting student growth, passionate colleagues, etc.) and none of the parts I found stressful (grading, extensive prep, etc.). We are currently hiring two Academic Educators to join our team. If this sounds like an appealing opportunity, I encourage you to apply! Or pass this information along to others in your educator networks.


Detailed job description (including salary info) and application information can be found here: https://utecinc.applytojob.com/apply/7gc4Z8bq7m/Academic-Educator

Dog Sitting Opportunity for a week (Medford, MA)

Posted on by

Seeking dog sitting services for our sweet pup, Ava, while we are away from April 13th-21st.

She’s very food driven, fully house trained, and loves playing with her toys. Her dislikes include the rain and skateboards. 
Ava’s day usually consists of breakfast around 7am, a 30ish min walk, then she generally hangs out until the afternoon where she has a quick bathroom break outside. She has “snack” at 4pm followed by another 30ish min walk. She’ll eat dinner around 6pm, and do one more trip outside before bed around 9pm. 
We are offering $80/day. You can either stay with her at our place in Medford, or have her at your place if easier/permitted (provided there aren’t other animals or small children around).  We can provide drop off and pick up in that case. Please email Caitlin Kennedy if you are interested at Kennedy.caitlin62@gmail.com
