(Optional 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM Cultural Workshops, Tuesday or Thursday)

Job Location

Pepperdine Campus, Malibu, CA

Please note this position requires in-person teaching at our campus in Los Angeles, CA and not remote teaching.

Responsibilities

The teacher’s primary objective is to:

• Use the CISL teaching and supplemental materials to provide a communication-based, small-group English program to international adolescent students (14-17) participating in the Junior Program.
• Make use of the methodology covered in training in order to maintain a level of uniformity within the program.
• Prepare their daily lessons and to make sure that any materials or lessons they plan to use that are not included in the program materials are approved by the Head Teacher prior to using them in class.
• Provide the Head Teacher with a copy of any material they intend to use in class for evaluation and approval at least 2 days before they plan to use it in class.

Hours

The daily class schedule is roughly from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM (exact times TBD).

Teachers are paid 4 hours per day for teaching 3.33 teaching hours per day, which allows for prep time and weekly staff meetings. Teachers are expected to arrive at least 15 minutes before class, in the event that the Program Coordinator or the Head Teacher has any important matters to go over with the teachers at the beginning of the day and to ensure that classes are started on time every day.

Staff meetings may be conducted at the end of the day. Teachers should plan to be occupied from 8:45 AM until 12:45 PM daily. If additional prep time is needed, it will be paid at minimum wage and needs to be approved by the lead teacher.

Cultural Workshops

In addition to our regularly scheduled classes teachers may have an opportunity to work additional hours by running our on campus Cultural Workshops, which are offered on either Tuesday or Thursdays from 1:30-3:10 PM. Workshops emphasize mainly speaking and and interaction with peers in a more casual setting, with “cultural content” used as the springboard for conversation. Topics are scheduled around afternoon activities and may range from iconic American culture such as attending a baseball game, to the more traditional such as visiting an art gallery.

Activities Assistant Option - In addition to teaching, there may be days when the specific activity for the day may require additional student supervision and teachers will be given the opportunity to sign up for additional hours on those days to participate in the activity and provide assistance to the Activities Coordinator as needed. Teachers will be paid at the activities pay rate for their time ($20/hour). A sign-up sheet will be provided for teachers interested in assisting with activities.
