DocuSign Envelope ID: 1BB65AEA-3E6A-45BE-8A7F-19FFOF9A712A <br /> EXHIBIT A: PROVIDER'S OUTSIDE AGENCY APPLICATION <br /> In September 2017, Kidzu hired a new STEM lead educator and Makery Manager; Jarrett <br /> Grimm. Jarrett joins Kidzu after completing a master's degree in Educational Innovation, <br /> Technology, and Entrepreneurship from UNC-Chapel Hill. She worked as a research and <br /> teaching assistant at Kenan Science Library's Makerspace while completing her degree, <br /> and previously worked at Morehead Planetarium and Science Center for six years as a <br /> Community Education Specialist. <br /> Over the last year Jarrett has strengthened the "museum in a box" programs and developed <br /> new content, aligned all aspects of the activities with the NC common core standards and <br /> partnered with CHCCSI OCS to align the program with classroom goals for the district's <br /> elementary grades. She is a dedicated educator who believes learning is best through doing <br /> and playing and can inspire children, specifically girls, to gain an interest in STEM. She <br /> brings this enthusiasm to the out of school time programs she visits. <br /> Alongside the mobile aspects of Kidzu's STEM work, Jarrett has also strengthened the <br /> STEM curriculum implemented in the museum. This curriculum is geared towards our <br /> community's early learners and forms the building blocks to an interest in STEM and literacy <br /> for our younger visitors. She has also developed the content for the in-house and mobile <br /> STEM Nights. These family engagement evenings focus on fun and learning whilst <br /> scaffolding classroom activities. <br /> e) Schedule of Positions (For Entire Agency) <br /> • Full Time Equivalent (FTE) staff will be noted as 1.00; half time as .50; quarter time as .25, etc. <br /> • Calculate a Full Time Equivalent For all recorded volunteer hours using the following: <br /> Total Volunteer Hours= Volunteer FTE <br /> 2,080 <br /> #of FTE - Full-Time Paid Positions: 13 <br /> #of FTE - Paid Part-Time Positions: 14 <br /> #of Volunteers: 118 # of FTE - Volunteers:2.5 <br /> f) Living Wage <br /> Does this agency pay permanent employees a minimum living wage?
