Could you please forward the below teaching opportunity to Biology undergraduate and graduate students? Thank you, and have a great new year!

Best,
Leslie, Andrew, and Avery

tl;dr: Teach 7-12th graders anything at Spring HSSP every Saturday from February 23 - April 6. More info here<https://esp.mit.edu/teach/HSSP/index.html>! Sign up here<https://esp.mit.edu/teach/HSSP/2019_Spring/teacherreg> by January 18, 2019.

Do you yearn for the freedom to teach any class you can imagine? Do you want to develop your teaching skills with motivated middle and high school students? Did you teach for Splash and realize you wanted to teach students in even greater depth over the course of six weeks?  Do you like Heroically Statured Sun Parakeets?

If so, you (or you and a friend!) should teach for Spring HSSP! Spring HSSP is a six-week program that runs on Saturdays from February 23 to April 6, with a break on March 16 for Spark<https://esp.mit.edu/teach/Spark/index.html>. 500 students in grades 7-12 are coming to MIT to take classes from people like you! Sign up to teach a 1-2 hour class for six Saturdays on absolutely anything, from Thermodynamics to The Gods of Gielinor (Runescape!) to Grammar as Science. We especially encourage partnering with a friend to co-teach a class.

In addition to the rewards of teaching itself, you will also receive a free t-shirt, as well as lunch every week! If you have any questions about the program or a class you’d like to teach, feel free to reach us at spring-hssp at mit.edu<mailto:spring-hssp at mit.edu>.

Sign up to teach here<https://esp.mit.edu/teach/HSSP/2019_Spring/teacherreg>! We will contact all teachers after they register to schedule informal teacher interviews that will take place from January 18 to 27--we’d just like to get a sense of the topic(s) you’d like to teach, as well as your teaching style. If you won't be on campus over that time period, let us know and we can make alternative arrangements.

Best,
Leslie, Andrew, and Avery
