 How To Get Involved In Teaching in the After School Program:
Any district teacher is eligible to participate in any of the seven after-school programs, however, hiring teachers/staff is site based (site coordinators working with the building principal). There are three distinct sessions for the 2008-2009 school year:
Session 1: August 30, 2010 -November 23, 2010
Session 2: November 29, 2010 - February 10, 2011
Session 3: February 14, 2011 - April 21, 201
After-school staff are hired for a session at a time, usually no more than two days a week. Hiring for each distinct session allows a site coordinator to assign different roles, allows new staff to participate, and allows for the release of staff that may be approaching “burn out”.
Applications are available during the beginning of the school year and a few weeks before each session begins. Please contact Cynthia Marks (marksC@district148.net) if you are in need of an application.
There are a wide range of employment opportunities in the after-school program at District 148 as outlined here:
