Instructors sought for Sandburg Kids on Campus program in Carthage

 

CARTHAGE — Sandburg is seeking enthusiastic and creative instructors to teach classes for its Kids on Campus summer program June 23-27 in Carthage. This event attracts students from throughout the college’s district each year and offers classes in a variety of subjects to children in grades K-6 from 9 a.m.–3 p.m. each day.

 

Instructors are needed in many subject areas and are encouraged to submit proposals for classes they’re interested in teaching. Teaching credentials are not required, but expertise and enthusiasm in a subject are essential.

 

Instructor compensation is $20 per student per class, with $3 per student per class budgeted for supplies. Instructors are asked to consider supply costs in advance and submit their supply list one week before classes start. The target class size is five to 12 students (unless otherwise noted), with three classes taught in the morning and two in the afternoon.

 

Proposals may be submitted until 4 p.m. Feb. 28 and will be considered on a first-come basis. Anyone submitting proposals will receive a response on or before March 7. Background checks are required for first-time Kids on Campus instructors if their course is selected. Forms are available at Sandburg’s Carthage campus, 305 Sandburg Dr.
