Important information about this class: Due to the discussion style of this class and the ability for questions and sharing of knowledge the class will be limited to only 8 students. Please respect the focused age group of the class. This class does highlight live animals, but the main focus is teaching about zoos and zoo keeping and answering questions about the career. Due to extremely high demand for this class, transfers or refunds will only be processed 72 hours before class. Have you ever wondered if zookeeping is the right career for you? This class will give you an idea of the good and the bad parts of zoo-keeping as well as provide you with information on specialized zoo-keeping schools and give you some ideas for similar career options. Zookeepers care for animals in zoos and aquariums or sometimes outreach and educational facilities. Common work duties include cleaning enclosures, feeding animals, researching diets, observing and recording behavior, constructing enrichment items, building or improving habitats, training animals, administering or assisting in veterinary care, and educating zoo visitors. Some zookeepers specialize in a certain type of animals, such as primates or ungulates, while others work with a wide variety of species. Zookeepers spend a lot of time working with the animals and often work nights, weekends and holidays. The job is challenging and rewarding at the same time. If you think zoo-keeping is the career for you then this is your class!

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Hello,
My name is Cindi Cavallini and I have been a zookeeper for more than 35 years and have been doing wildlife presentations for almost 25 years. I have my own wildlife outreach organization called All About Animals in Dallas, TX and my own animals that come with me to in person presentations. I am a graduate of the Exotic Animal Training and Wildlife Management (EATM) Program at Moorpark College. I am also a professional member of ZAA-Zoological Association of America and AAZK-American Association of Zoo Keepers. I was a zoo manager for 16 years while doing wildlife education and then decided to start my own organization. I have a variety of animals that help to get children excited and wanting to learn more about science and nature and the world around them. My classes vary in topics from the rain forest to reptiles, animal body coverings, Animals of Africa, and even silly classes like The Real Scoop on Animal Poop and Animal Superheroes! I believe that meeting and understanding more about animals helps children to learn to appreciate and respect them as well as teaching them empathy towards other living creatures and the natural world. Most of my business has become virtual so instead of traveling with me, like in the past, my animals mostly just come to my educational studio now where I teach online classes. When I am not teaching for Outschool I can be found teaching in person with my animals around the Dallas/Fort Worth area with my company All About Animals and caring for and playing with the more than 60 animals that join me in my classes.
Fun fact about me......my favorite animal is the pangolin, yet I have never seen one in real life.
