Application deadline: April 20, 2022.    

Aspire Core Teachers (CTS) must work the entire session, Monday-Friday, 8:15-4:30 p.m., June 13-July 26, 2022.  There will be no Aspire on June 20th and July 4, 2022.  

Aspire Core Teachers (CTs) are responsible for implementing creative, engaging classes that support the academic needs of middle school girls. CTs design, plan, and teach three sections, with approximately 12 students in each, of English Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, or Math.

While mentored by an experienced teacher, CTs are the lead teachers in the classroom. They fulfill all responsibilities associated with teaching classes, including:
• selecting activities
• class planning and preparation  
• student assessments

CTs also work on collaborative grade-level teams to design and execute leadership seminars. Eighth-grade CTs collaborate to design and implement weekly half-day leadership seminars and participate in an overnight trip to Dearborn, Michigan.

CTs share their expertise and personal interests in afternoon workshops of their own design. Offerings such as Dance, Drama, World Language, Visual Arts, Entrepreneurship, and Robotics broaden students’ exposure by covering a wide range of topics not often covered in most middle schools.  
 
CTs offer/supervise daily student choice period, help with the Aspire Olympics and Talent Show, and mentor up to nine girls.

CTs are required to attend faculty orientation and program evaluation days. Attendance at a few special events outside of the school day (Family Night and Closing Ceremony, for example) is also expected. Additionally,  CTs attend daily staff meetings regarding teaching, program details, and student progress throughout the summer. Other responsibilities as necessary.

Commitment:  
CTs must work the entire session, Monday-Friday, 8:15-4:30 p.m., June 13-July 26, 2022.   Attendance at two or three evening events during the summer is also required. Significant time outside of the school day is typically required for designing lessons, planning classes, and assessing student work.

Eligibility:  
The CT position is open to current college sophomores, juniors, and seniors, with consideration of freshman who have significant teaching and/or youth mentoring experience.

Compensation:  
$2,350 stipend for the summer.  

Housing and Transportation:  
CTs must secure their own housing for the summer, but Aspire will support you with the search. We encourage applicants from all geographic locations to apply.  Hathaway Brown School is accessible by public transportation; however, a car is preferable given the work schedule.
