The Opportunity: The Bridge to Brilliance

In Ferguson-Florissant, we believe that college readiness is more than just a test score—it’s a mindset. We are looking for three equity-minded, high-impact Seminar Instructors to lead our summer Early College/Dual Enrollment intensive. You aren't just teaching a class; you are the Architect of Collegiate Mastery, equipping our scholars with the habits, inquiry skills, and professional confidence they need to dominate at the university level.

As a Seminar Instructor, you will design and facilitate an immersive experience that moves students toward post-secondary flourishing. You will harness Individual Career Academic Plans (ICAPs) to help students visualize their futures, lead rigorous workshops in WICOR skills (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading), and manage the enrollment pipeline for the upcoming school year at STLCC.
