Code School Teaching Assistant
We’re looking for one or more teaching assistants to help us grow DeltaV in Cedar Rapids, Mount Pleasant, Davenport, and Mason City. You’ll be responsible for:
· Assisting in teaching the curriculum, including:
· Helping students every day during classwork hours
· Leading instructional sessions ranging from the entry-level 101 by yourself, through advanced 401-level courses with our instructors
· Improving the curriculum over time and providing feedback on the program itself
· Assisting in the administration of the program (grading, admissions, etc.)
This role is ideal for a recent or current college graduate or early career developer with a strong computer science background, and ideally with some formal or informal teaching experience. This is a hands-on role: you’ll get down and dirty with the code, working with the students on a daily basis to help them work through challenges and push them to get a strong understanding of modern software development practices.
Additional Responsibilities
· Ensure the best possible, highest quality learning environment for students
· Assist with instruction according to the guidelines and rules set forth in the Instructor Handbook
· Proactively assist student learning in-person and online
· Be available to students outside of class, in person, as needed
· Grading homework and other student work
· Support the instructors and other teaching assistants with the curriculum, as appropriate
· Instruct 101 courses on a limited number of Saturdays throughout the year
· Attend community tech events on occasion
· Contribute content for our blog on occasion
Skills & Qualifications
· 2+ years professional software development experience and/or 2+ years of Computer Science classroom experience with several years of non-professional code experience. In either case, you’d better have a solid demonstration of your work in a Github repo. You need to be sufficiently nerdy to grow the curriculum at DeltaV!
· Strong interpersonal skills and communication skills. You need to balance your nerdiness with an approachable, patient, focused demeanor.
· Highly organized individual able to keep multiple projects and tasks on track at once.
· Consistently interested in the consumption of new technologies and incorporating these into existing curriculum.
Some details you should know:
· This is a part-time hourly role.
· You’ll be required to pass a background check as a part of the onboarding process.
· Classes are "in person" in Cedar Rapids and live-streamed to students in Mason City, Mount Pleasant, and Davenport where we are looking for local TAs to help those students in person.
If you are interested, apply with:
· a resume
· some cool projects you’ve worked on (ideally, URLs of public applications if possible. Tell us your role in those projects)
· examples of instructional materials you’ve created/used
· a link to your GitHub page (if applicable)
