[Hidden-tech] Fwd: Job Posting - Mini-course instructors for the CHOICES After-school Program

[Jeff Mackler]

This is a great program, and I thought it might be a good fit for a
work-at-home type who is looking to get out a few hours a day and teach
kids.

*Hello everyone,*

*Please help me to spread the word about the posting below.*

*Thanks,*

*Melany*

*--------------------------------------------*

*JOB POSTING - CHOICES*

Instructors for program's second session (February 3rd to June
5th, Monday/Wednesdays or Tuesday/Thursdays)
*Position posting: *Mini-course instructor for after-school enrichment
program (CHOICES).
Examples of mini-courses that we would like to have:

     - Robotics
     - Outdoor adventure
     - Media, poetry writing...

     - other creative ideas will be considered

Projected program duration:
*First session:* Second session starts on the first week of February until
the first week of June 2014

*Salary: * $15 to $25 per hour
*Hours:* 2 days a week from (M/W or Tu/Th) 3:50 to 5:50

*Program Structure:*

CHOICES is an after-school program supported by Holyoke Community College
and implemented at The Peck Full Service Community School in Holyoke. The
program targets at-risk middle school youth who are highly committed to
self-development by engaging in enriching activities.

· Instructors will need to be available either M/W or Tu/Th from 4:00 - 6:00

  your program proposals should be based on a two-day per week model.
· We project between 10 and 15 students in each mini-course .
· One high school or one college age tutor will be available to assist you
during mini-course time.

*Program Priorities: * We are interested in hiring instructors who
provide mini-courses that address one or more of the following
priorities:

· The mini-courses includes highly engaging and enriching activities for
middle school age students that provide experiential learning activities
and promote the use of technology when possible.

· The mini-course focuses on an area of high interest for urban middle
school students.

· The mini-course is culturally relevant to Holyoke middle school students
(that is, students are able to explore and affirm their own cultural
identities through participating in this program).

· The mini-course includes an artistic component (visual arts, theater,
etc.).

· The mini-course supports student fitness and wellness.

· The mini-course attracts and retains students in need of support in their
academic and/or personal lives (including, ideally, a mix of boys and
girls).

· All mini-courses conclude with final, culminating product or activity (it
is up to the instructor to determine the nature of this final product).

 ***Note*:  we do not expect that any single program could address all of *the
above priorities*; rather, we are looking for a mix of programs that, in
combination, address these priorities.


*Program Requirements:*

- Participation in the *CORI background check is mandatory*.
- A brief, written description of instructor's course to be included in any
recruitment brochures and registration applications.
- CPR and First Aid training preferred. Provided by employer if needed.
- Complete any student and self-performance evaluation that is necessary.
- Attendance to monthly meetings


*Included in your Proposal:*

·      Describe the mini-course you propose to offer to Peck students as
part of the CHOICES After-School program.

·      Do you have specific scheduling needs for your mini-course (i.e.,
would you need to do either Monday-Wednesday or Tuesday-Thursday, or are
you available for either)?

·      Describe any needed resources (i.e. specific rooms or space,
materials, field trips, etc.).

·      Which of the program priorities will your mini-course address, and
how will it address each of the priorities you identify?

·      What do you envision for your course's final, culminating product
and/or activity?


If you have questions about this program and/or need help in putting
together your proposal, please contact the following:
