**Updated 5/7/2025**
TEEN DAY Ithaca is in the process of hiring teaching staff for 2025-2026, and we’d love to connect with YOU!
There is typically no demand for specific credentialing. Classes are/have been taught by professors, graduate students, undergraduate students, professionals, and enthusiasts of all stripes. We strive to find people who are, yes, comfortable in a room full of teens and confident in offering instruction on a subject. However, what we look for most of all are people who are passionate about what they’re doing. Whether it’s Algebra or Art, we’re after people who ware willing to share their excitement about a topic with our participants. Most of our courses are offered 1 day/week on Tuesdays or Thursdays. Contact admin@teendayithaca.org for more info or to apply.
LOWER-LEVEL SCIENCE INSTRUCTOR:
Most of our educational areas at TEEN DAY operate in a three-year rotation, allowing most participants to take most classes, regardless of when they enter the program. Our lower-level science rotation consists currently of Life Science and Physical Science, with Earth Science being an overlapping year between our upper-level science courses. (Though from a teaching perspective, Earth Science is included in our lower-level course rotation.)
The ideal candidate will move through this rotation each year, teaching the relevant coursework. There is ample support for lesson planning and some existing infrastructure for labs and course planning. There is a lot of room for creative interpretation and outside-the-box instruction in all areas. Instructor applications will also be accepted for next year’s Earth Science course without the intention of teaching for TEEN DAY for the full rotation.
