Georgetown Day School’s Office of Auxiliary Programs seeks instructors for its GDS Summer Programs.
About GDS’ Auxiliary Programs
While participating in GDS Auxiliary Programs, children will explore, learn, and create through hands-on and interpersonal inquiry, gaining an appreciation for themselves, others, and the world. GDS Auxiliary Programs Team Members teach new skills and provide tools that enable children to develop into individuals who strive to learn and understand, try new things, and care for others.
About the Summer Lead Instructor Position
GDS Summer Programs seeks to hire instructors to teach and lead enrichment classes that will challenge our students academically, physically, and artistically. We seek individuals with experience teaching children ages 4-18, as well as professional expertise in such areas as science, math, visual or performing arts, language arts, computer programming, technology and engineering, and more.
Lead Instructors must be enthusiastic and knowledgeable about ways to support learning through guided activities. The ability to provide rich, mission-aligned content and creative pedagogy, to establish authentic relationships, to work collaboratively with colleagues, and to place children’s interests and experiences at the heart of the classroom are essential components of the job. Instructors must also submit a program-long syllabus and regular lesson plans. As a diverse, inclusive school devoted to preparing our students to live and work in an increasingly globalized and multicultural society, GDS is particularly interested in professionals with demonstrated interest and experience in working in such a school setting.
This position reports to the GDS Summer Programs Director.
