GAI
Lead teachers
are responsible for developing the curriculum for the week, including all
related craft and outdoor activities, as well as additional prep-work related
to the camp.
Note:
The GAI will post positions for camp teaching assistants later in the spring.
Qualifications:
§ Fluency in German § At least 1 year professional
experience/training teaching German or equivalent
§ Successful experience working with
elementary-aged children
§ Strong ability to design
highly-interactive, kid friendly learning activities
Compensation:
$400-$600/week. Lead
teachers are contracted on a weekly basis. Accommodation is not provided.
To Apply: Send the following information by January
20 to the GAI Language Services Coordinator, Anne Grossardt, at agrossardt@gai-mn.org. Most instructors will only be selected for one camp,
though more are possible.
1)
A short summary of your teaching credentials and experience, a resume if
possible.
2)
The weeks during June 16th-August 18th for which you would be available to teach, as well as
your preferred week(s) to be assigned.
3) If possible, your idea(s)
for a camp theme including a brief description, although this can be decided
later. See example below:
Roman Gladiators and
Germanic Tribes
We will travel back to the
ancient time of Roman gladiators and Germanic tribes. Children will experience
firsthand how the Romans impacted Germania and world culture. Activities will
include games and crafts such as archery, jewelry and map-making, spear
throwing, wagon races, food preparation, clothing design, and more. The week
will culminate with a celebratory festival.
Other popular themes from past
years have included: Dinosaurs & Volcanoes, German Fairy Tales, Fun with
Sports and Games, and A Journey through Europe. Themes do not need to
directly relate to German culture, and we encourage thinking outside the box!
