Durham, United States Student U Full time
Student U is a community organization that uses the power of education to build a just and equitable Durham.

We empower and equip first-generation college students in Durham Public Schools, their families, and educators to become the leaders that will transform our city. Together, we're creating a Durham where all students succeed.

As a result of structural racism, poverty, and other systemic injustices, we acknowledge that first-generation college-bound students face significant personal and institutional obstacles to educational success. We want to change the odds for children in our community.

The Work

We are hiring Middle School Teachers to provide academic enrichment and structured new experiences for middle school students at our five-week Summer Academy. At Summer Academy, we are committed to helping our students feel success and growth by providing thoughtful, intentional academic experiences, and sharing our own excitement around academic content. Summer teachers continue their work supporting students by committing to at least three hours of weekly support at Student U's daily after-school program during the school year. Teaching at Student U is a year-long commitment.

Summer commitment (full-time):

Student U middle school teachers work full-time in the summer, creating lesson plans, teaching their own classes, and working collaboratively with other teachers to engage and inspire students. Student U teachers teach a core academic class, co-lead a small reading group, and build community within their team of 20 students and 4 teachers. Student U teachers are expected to be fully present at the Summer Academy which operates Monday - Friday approximately 8 hours daily, +1.5 hour weekly staff meeting outside of normal work hours. At times, teachers may need to work outside of Student U's hours to update lesson plans, prepare for daily classwork and talk with parents and students.

School year commitment (part-time):

All Student U middle school teachers play a role in supporting students at Student U's daily after-school program during the school year. There are several options for the Student U commitment during the school year, ranging from 3-20 hours/week, depending on schedule, experience, and desired commitment. Summer teachers can be Advocates leading our after-school program (20 hours/week), Academic Coaches for a small group of students (6 hours/week), tutors at our after-school program (at least 3 hours/week), administrative support during non-after-school hours (at least 3 hours/week), or lead a club for a small group of students(1 hour/week).

Teachers are compensated for their prep work in the spring, all Summer Academy hours, and the role they play at our after-school program during the school year.

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Student U Middle School Staff Member

AVAILABLE TEACHING POSITIONS IN THE SUMMER ACADEMY:

Core Subjects (ELA, Global Connect, Math, and Science): All core subject classes implement a curriculum designed specifically for Student U's Summer Academy by a team of experienced educators within the Durham Community. Core subject teachers will be responsible for creating the teaching tools that will accompany each lesson (powerpoints and handouts for each day), teaching the curriculum developed for their course, and evaluating student growth using the pre and post assessments created for each course. Attached is an overview of the curriculum implemented in each content area at Summer Academy.

  • In addition to teaching a core subject, each teacher will be asked to teach an afternoon elective

Electives: Each teacher will teach a self-developed 2 week elective course to our rising 6th-8th grade students. Teachers will be responsible for developing their elective lesson plans in the spring, creating the teaching tools/resources that will accompany each lesson, teaching, and evaluating the students.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Attend all pre-summer training events
  • Attend Teacher & Student Orientation
  • Teach one core academic class implementing Student U's Core Curriculum to students in your grade
  • Create and uphold Student U culture with a "Family" of 20 students and 4 teachers
