Summer Learning Teacher - LearnRI Extended Learning Grant; Closed

Position: Summer Learning Teacher - Learn365RI Extended Learning Grant (Closed)
The East Providence Recreation department is seeking a certified teacher to implement and oversee a summer learning curriculum during the department's summer camp program. The program will incorporate hands-on learning experiences, such as science experiments, arts and crafts, sports, and outdoor adventures. These activities not only keep children intellectually stimulated but also promote active learning and practical application of knowledge.

This consistent exposure to educational activities and lessons during the summer can help prevent learning regression. It keeps children engaged in learning and reinforces previously learned concepts, reducing the likelihood of forgetting or losing academic skills over the break. The Summer Learning Teacher will oversee and direct dedicated Enrichment Leaders and complete all program evaluations and participant data forms as required by the RI Department of Education.

The SLT reports directly to the Director of Recreation and Recreation Program Coordinator. The position hours are 25 hours per week during the East Providence Recreation's summer camp, June 24 - August 2, 2024, with pre and post program hours as needed.
