Next Gen is hiring
Seeking dynamic, thoughtful educators to join our highly professional team!
You are a good candidate if:
You have classroom teaching experience in middle or high school in Southern California in the last five years. We need you to be familiar with the local school culture in order to help our students navigate their school experience.
You are reliably available for the afternoon & evening hours and some Saturdays during the school year. (During summer there is some flexibility, and there are some morning hours.) This is high-volume program run by a small staff; we cannot accommodate frequent schedule changes. You will know your schedule far in advance, your hours will be consistent and we will be counting on you to come to work as scheduled.
You exude strong positive "coach" or "camp counselor" energy.
You possess classroom management strategies for small groups (3 to 10). This is a group program with individual conferencing for instruction. You will be in a position every day to help teens manage their motivation, behavior, device usage and engagement.
You will mostly be teaching in your domain of strength/main subject expertise, but we all pitch in with other subject from time to time. If you're a math and science specialist, you need to be willing to read an essay once in a while if you're the only one available to give feedback. If you're an English teacher, you need to be willing to dig into a biology textbook with a student occasionally, to help them navigate the reading.
You are a mature professional person who knows how to communicate in a nuanced way with multiple stakeholders (colleagues, parents, event guests.
We all teach executive functioning skills like time and task management. We provide ongoing training for our tutors in this area.
