Teach Reading Classes to Students of All Ages

 

Now Accepting Applications for Summer 2024

 

The Institute of Reading Development is now hiring summer teachers for our reading programs for students of all ages.

 

Our mission is to inspire a lifelong love of reading. In these programs we combine skills instruction with the experience of reading and discussing really good books. We help our students develop strong fluency and comprehension skills.

 

This is a great opportunity to do challenging and meaningful work in a supportive environment. Teaching experience is valuable but not necessary, and we do not require teaching certification. We welcome your application, whether you are an upcoming or recent college grad, a graduate student, a current teacher, or looking to make a career switch into education.

 

Our Teachers:

  • Work with students in both online and in-person classrooms. 
  • Earn between $600-$700 per week.
  • Receive comprehensive paid training and ongoing support.
  • Gain over 200 hours of experience teaching their own classes to students from 4-year-olds to adults.

 

Teaching Schedule Details and Commitment:

  • 10 weeks of teaching.
  • 37-40 hours per week.
  • Schedules consist of five days of teaching per week, including both weekend days.
  • Entry-level position, with opportunities for continued employment with the Institute after the summer.

 

Training:

  • We have two training programs:
    • A 3 week full-time program, Monday-Friday in the weeks immediately preceding teaching.
    • A part-time independent study program designed for professional teachers or other qualified applicants with training schedule conflicts.

 

Successful Institute Teachers:

  • Have strong reading skills and read fiction for pleasure.
  • Are responsible and hard-working, with strong communication and organizational skills.
  • Are comfortable and confident with technology.
  • Have a bachelor's degree or higher.
  • Are active, patient, and supportive with students and parents.

 

We look forward to reading your application soon.
