Position Description: Enrichment Teachers are responsible for designing, planning, and teaching their enrichment class(es) for 1st-8th graders. Most classes run one hour long and meet every day during a two-week session. Class sizes are small and for a specified grade range so that campers can get the most out of their experience. Last summer we offered over 70 distinct classes covering topics in math, science, engineering, visual and performing arts, and more! We are always looking for new ideas that campers will love! Teachers must commit to working at least one entire two-week session, however, within that session there is flexibility with teaching hours between 9am and 12pm. Generally speaking, teachers are expected to arrive by 8:45am and may leave after campers are dismissed and the classroom is cleaned.
Desired Characteristics:
To Apply: Send resume, cover letter with class idea(s) and availability, and three references to Zach Elkin, Director of Auxiliary Programs. Application deadline: December 16th, 2019. SAA is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of age, gender, race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin or sexual identity in its hiring processes.
