POSITION OVERVIEW

Associate Instructors will join SEO’s community of passionate educators to implement a rigorous college prep curriculum for motivated and driven high school students. Using our original curriculum and a student-centered approach to teaching and learning, Associate Instructors play an integral part in supporting our Scholars’ journeys to a competitive college and beyond. Associate Instructors promote depth of understanding and skill acquisition by serving as a coach and facilitator of learning. Associates co-teach alongside Instructors to facilitate classroom instruction, teach mini lessons, organize small group and one-on-one instruction, and provide additional Scholar support. Associate Instructors do not have grading responsibilities.

Weekly Hours: Associate Instructors are allotted 8 maximum hours per week during their seasonal employment, made up of Standard and Flex Hours.

Standard Hours are when the associate instructor must be working on site with staff or students instructing a class or engaging with an instructional prep or support period:
Saturdays, 9:00am-4:00pm (with a 50 minute lunch) = ~6 Hours/weekly
Flex Hours make up the additional “teacher work” educators know go into the job. This is time spent preparing for the lesson, grading, entering gradebook data, writing Scholar feedback, communicating with staff and Scholars, etc. These are hours put in outside of the required schedule and can be completed asynchronously throughout the week = up to 2 Flex Hours/weekly

There will also be future opportunities for Summer or Fall semesters
