[bioundgrd] Fwd: Looking for Junction Summer Teacher

[MacKenzie Outlund]

Dear Biology Undergrads,

MIT ESP is looking for a teacher for a biology-oriented six-week evening
class geared towards motivated high school students for our summer program,
Junction. Junction runs four evenings a week, two hours an evening, from
June 30 through August 12. This is an opportunity to teach something -
anything - that you find exciting in the field of biology. This is NOT your
standard summer teaching job! We encourage teachers to think outside the
usual classroom format and to plan projects and activities that require real
engagement with the material. Because there is a substantial time commitment
in teaching for Junction, we pay teachers a stipend of $1500, as well as
providing a budget for labs and other supplies.

Junction is a project of the Educational Studies Program or ESP (
http://esp.mit.edu), a group that connects MIT students and other Bostonians
who want to teach to high school students who want to learn. One of our
Junction teachers had planned a class titled "Infectious Disease and
Immunology," but a conflict has developed and she cannot be here this
summer. This leaves us without a biology class in our line-up, and we would
very much like to fill that gap.

If you are planning to be in the Boston area between June and August and
would like to teach a class on infectious diseases and immunology, or
another bio-related topic, you can learn more about teaching for Junction by
going to http://esp.mit.edu/teach/Junction/index.html and/or emailing
junction at mit.edu. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in
applying for this teaching position!

Thank you,
The Junction 2010 Team
