What are academic summer programs?

Academic Summer programs are specialized educational courses or camps that take place during the summer months, offering students opportunities to enhance their academic skills, explore new subjects, and prepare for future studies. These programs can range from enrichment courses in sciences, arts, and languages to preparatory classes for exams or university admissions. They are often designed for students of various ages and backgrounds, providing both academic instruction and extracurricular activities. Participating in an Academic Summer program can help students stay engaged during the summer break, boost their confidence, and develop new interests. Many programs are held at schools, colleges, or universities, and can be either residential or day camps.

Both roles require relevant credentials and are common in educational settings, but they differ mainly in scope and environment.

What are some common challenges faced by instructors in academic summer programs, and how can they be addressed?

Instructors in Academic Summer programs often face the challenge of engaging students from diverse backgrounds and varying academic levels within a condensed timeframe. Adapting lesson plans to meet different learning needs while maintaining a fun, interactive environment is key. Effective communication, flexibility, and incorporating hands-on activities can help address these challenges. Collaborating closely with fellow instructors and support staff also ensures a well-rounded and supportive experience for both students and educators.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an academic summer program coordinator, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Academic Summer Program Coordinator, you need strong organizational skills, experience in educational program planning, and typically a bachelor's degree in education or a related field. Familiarity with learning management systems, scheduling software, and basic budgeting tools is often required. Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving abilities help you engage students, collaborate with staff, and handle unexpected challenges. These skills are essential to ensure seamless program operations, a positive learning environment, and successful outcomes for participants.

OPEN POSITIONS: 

Online Instructor - Online instructors will lead classes via zoom and google classroom with cohorts of approximately 8-12 students.  All curriculum materials will be provided, but instructors will need to have a reliable computer and internet connection and a quiet and professional place from which to host class.  

Camp Dates: 

July 27 to July 31 - Middle School 

Aug 3 to Aug 7 - High School

Class meets 8am to 2pm pacific with a 1 hour lunch 

Course Description: 

Mock Trial participants will work with a lead instructor (typically a practicing attorney or an instructor with personal experience and expertise in competitive mock trial) to learn the structure of the court systems, differences between the process of law involved in civil and criminal trials, and most importantly proper methods of the formation and presentation of convincing legal arguments. As part of this learning process, students will be directly exposed to the basics of certain substantive areas of law, including constitutional, criminal and tort law, as well as rules of evidence.

Past activities for the high school mock trial have included a visit to a courthouse for a first-hand look at the American justice system at work, participation in simulated client interviews, and/or professionally critiqued oral arguments. The weeklong session includes at least two mock trials, including opening statements, the examination of witnesses and introduction of evidence and closing arguments. Guest speakers such as area attorneys or judges have been regular features of recent mock trial sessions. Students will build toward a full-length mock trial exhibition at week's end. Instructors are chosen for their ability to connect with and enthuse this age group. This program is campus-based for an immersive learning experience.

Job Description: 

This is a temporary summer camp position. The Mock Trial Instructor is responsible for guiding high school and/or middle school students through Education Unlimited’s mock trial curriculum. Instructors teach daily seminars and workshops, and should be natural leaders and enthusiastic about working with young people. Instructors should be prepared to give small lectures throughout the week, and also manage and prep students for trial. Instructors will also be responsible for tracking student work and handing in any deliverables to the camp director and EU home office.

In the past, instructors have been working or former attorneys with mock trial experience. This is a unique program that focuses on creating future lawyers, and the best candidates are passionate about the law, teaching, leadership, and communication. 

Qualifications:

  • 2+ years experience teaching, leading, coaching, or participating in mock trial.
  • A practicing attorney, former practicing attorney, or legal expert
  • Proven ability to lead small or large groups.
  • A calm and professional demeanor.
  • The willingness and ability to work long hours.
  • Self-motivation and follow-through.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
  • Strong people skills.
  • Strong public speaking skills.
  • A passion for education.

Additional Requirements for On campus Instructors: 

In addition to teaching responsibilities, instructors should be available and willing to assist the camp director with active supervision, recreational activities, and some administrative tasks. Instructors should be mature, reliable, and able to work well with fellow staffers. Instructors are also expected to act as mentors, and will help lead field trips and guide students on excursions. With the support of the entire staff, instructors are responsible for the health and safety of students, in addition to fulfilling instructional objectives.

This is a residential position — room, board, and parking on campus is provided for the duration of the program. We will also consider instructors who wish to commute daily but preference is given for those candidates who are willing to live on campus and assist with dorm supervision. Instructors may be hired for one session or for multiple sessions of this program. Please indicate your availability on your application. 

Additional Requirements for Online Instructors: 

Online instructors need to have access to a reliable computer and reliable internet connection.  They should have a strong working knowledge of how to use Zoom and Google Classroom.  Refresher training will be provided.
