Instructor for Hands-on Enrichment Classes in Pasadena

IEA is seeking experienced, qualified educators for elementary and middle school enrichment courses!

The Institute for Educational Advancement is seeking educators to add to its team of summer enrichment teachers. IEA Academy instructors teach hands-on lessons that engage a diverse student population in high-level course material. Course offerings span all disciplines, including the sciences, arts, and humanities. Instructors typically teach 1-3 courses in a session, depending on their availability and Academy's scheduling needs.

We are looking for instructors with weekday availability across at least one of its two-week sessions (June 12-26, July 6-17, July 27-August 7). Classes meet daily for 90 minutes for the ten days of each session. We are also looking for instructors to add to our substitute list for the summer, with potential to teach a full class for a future session.
