School in the Park is an innovative program that shifts the location of “school” from a traditional classroom setting in an inner-city school, to the resources and educational opportunities available at museums in Balboa Park. A relevant instructional environment is created as hands-on learning challenges students to become active participants in their own education. The School in the Park program gives space for students to participate in a program that is designed to fully utilize the unique opportunities of San Diego's cultural institutions in Balboa Park. Rosa Parks Elementary School and Central Elementary School bring third, fourth, and fifth grade students to spend up to eight weeks in Balboa Park, where they participate in weeklong education programs at ten institutions. Wilson Middle School and Clark Middle School sixth graders spend two weeks in Balboa Park, where they participate in weeklong education programs and get to visit 4 different institutions during their two weeks. School in the Park allows students to experience learning in new and highly engaging ways, as academic subjects come to life and hands-on projects create new avenues for success.


Under supervision and direction of the SITP Director, the School in the Park Instructional Support Assistant II (SITP Facilitator) is part of a collaborative effort that blends museum-based experiential education with school-based formal curriculum. The primary responsibility of the Instructional Support Assistant II (SITP Facilitator) is to support student learning at School in the Park, while ensuring the safety of students throughout the day. Instructional Support Assistant II (SITP Facilitator) also needs to work as part of a team in formal and informal learning environments that includes SITP staff (including SDSU college workers), museum educators, and classroom teachers.


Hours typically are Monday -Friday 10:50-4:50, with the exception of 4 weeks in the year when we work with middle school. Middle School hours are 9-3:30.
