• Creating lesson plans and finding teaching resources to support individual student needs and interests.
• Working with staff to lead, support, and supervise indoor and outdoor activities (e.g. gaming tournaments or ultimate Frisbee!)
• Meet with parents at the end of the weekly session to share out student progress and achievements!
• Support location team in running Check-in and Check-out each day.
• Overnight instructors also supervise overnight students for breakfast, dinner, and structured evening activities.
Locations:
We have locations with overnight programs in at the University of Washington in Seattle, as well as Lewis & Clark College in Portland. iD Tech is a national company, so there are additional opportunities to work at other prestigious university locations!
Info-Sessions:
John and I are happy to visit schools and give info-sessions on what it’s like to work with iD Tech. These are typically 30 minutes long. In the past, we have both gone into classrooms for a certain professor and hosted sessions through the Career Center or CS Departments. We have a lot of fun meeting students and talking to them about the benefits of working with iD Tech for their summer!
Pay
iD Tech positions are paid. As I mentioned on the phone, the pay for commuting instructors starts at $525/week. Director pay starts at $900/week.
In addition, we are often able to work with schools to provide internship qualifications or co-ops for students. These are done through the school, and are signed off by our People Services Department.
