English Teacher (summer employment)
Wolfeboro Camp School, Wolfeboro, NH
We are hiring an experienced English teacher to teach Literature and/or Written Expression classes for our academic summer program. Anticipated sections would include students in eighth, ninth, and tenth grade.
Wolfeboro Camp School is a setting in which each teacher has a rewarding and exceptional professional development experience. The School provides an exceedingly worthwhile experience for students and a rewarding summer for our faculty. Teachers function predominately through the 1:00 pm meal, teaching and providing extra help. Teachers do not reside on student residential campuses, and with the exception of meals in the Jousson Dining Hall and one evening of study hall supervision per week, do not have formal residential responsibilities.
Course Load and Teaching Philosophy
Teachers will generally teach four sections with four to five students per section. Every effort is made to schedule a teacher with a maximum of twenty students and with no more than two preparations. Teachers are expected to remain flexible with regard to specific courses and preparations.
By mission, Wolfeboro ensures academic progress for each student, and our teachers embrace this obligation. Year after year, our teachers verify that Wolfeboro provides a stimulating professional environment in which teaching skills always rise to the next level. Wolfeboro teachers exude an obvious enthusiasm for organization, detail, responsibility, confidence and progress. Our collective passion for celebrating accountability and daily success is a primary feature in each student’s Wolfeboro Experience. Professional growth is enhanced by the inevitable sharing of ideas with more than 30 educators from as many independent and public schools.
Teacher Reports
Each teacher prepares a brief internal written report on each student once per week. In addition, more comprehensive written reports are prepared at the conclusion of the program. Your reports reflect Wolfeboro’s reputation for teacher expertise, clarity and an emphasis on the positive.
Other Areas of Responsibility
Teachers supervise one evening study hall per week. With a partner faculty member, teachers also provide coverage at a dining room table for all sit-down meals. Additionally, teachers are expected to chaperone students to or from the airports on either Arrival or Departure Days.
Qualifications
- At least five (5) years of full-time classroom teaching experience
- Experience teaching in independent boarding or day school preferred
