Liberty LEADS seeks two instructors to facilitate our weekly College/Career Exploration II and/or III courses on Saturdays for high school juniors and seniors. The College/Career Exploration courses are designed to assist high school students in becoming oriented, prepared and ready to transition into higher education or alternative post-secondary plans. These introductory courses will expose students to topics that will assist them in developing college and career readiness skills including but not limited to college level writing and resume building. In addition, instructors will be tasked with helping students demystify the admissions and financial aid processes.
Using the foundation established by College Exploration I, College Exploration II and III will expand on key components and units discussed to better understand and apply students interests and academic profiles to the postsecondary process. Students will utilize this class to develop components of their college applications in conjunction with the work they will be doing with the College and Career Success Advisor. Instructors must have experience engaging students in person or using Zoom if circumstances dictate changing from in person to online classes. Curriculums and daily lesson plans are required for review and approval. Weekly lesson plans must be submitted for review one week prior to class. Instructors are expected to deliver a final project to showcase during our end of year celebration.
