Volunteer
for Society for Skills, Training and Development Schools
Since 2006, lots of citizens just like you have been sharing what
they know and love with middle school students by teaching apprenticeships
with Society for Skills, Training and Development Schools. These
are Citizen Teachers.
Why be a Society for Skills, Training and Development Teacher?
Society for Skills, Training and Development Teachers expose students
to worlds of learning they've never encountered.
As a Society for Skills, Training and Development
Teacher, you will...
• Develop and lead a hands-on learning project in your field of
expertise
• Lead a small team of middle school students once a week for
11 weeks
• Help students create a real product, performance, or presentation
— what we call a WOW!
All with the close support of a Society for Skills, Training and
Development Schools trained educator!
Be a Team Leader
Team Leaders, teacher-mentors who work directly with the students,
are critical to our success. Dynamic, creative, and committed,
they direct group activities, as well as provide focused individual
attention.
These interactions form strong bonds that can
positively influence children's lives.
The position is part time—about 20 to 25 hours a week—and completely
immersive. Team Leaders are role models, advisers, and cheerleaders.
It's challenging, fun, and infinitely rewarding.
As a Team Leader you will:
• Craft engaging academic curricula
• Design and implement team activities
• Serve as an academic coach
• Lead students on off-site adventures
• Facilitate hands-on apprenticeship projects and support Society
for Skills, Training and Development Teachers
• Collaborate with teachers and parents Being a Society for Skills,
Training and Development Schools Team Leader is the best kind
of adventure. It's a chance to explore a career in teaching or
working with young people. You'll become part of a new, vibrant
community, one that not only includes your fellow Team Leaders
and Society for Skills, Training and Development Schools volunteers,
but also teachers, parents, and, of course, the students themselves.
