This position is responsible for teaching Public Speaking at Education Unlimited’s Tools of Modern Communication Camp. As a Public Speaking Instructor you will guide students through different speaking activities in order to help them become more clear, confident and effective speakers as well as teach them how to deliver well crafted presentations. It is the instructor’s responsibility to show students that public speaking can be fun. This position also requires that you will assist the Camp Director and other staff in the execution of a successful, safe, and fun series of camps. Responsibilities include teaching the Public Speaking Curriculum, maintaining a safe working environment for campers grades 4 -12, supervising campers both in and out of the classroom, and assisting the camp director with a small number of administrative tasks.

NATURE OF POSITION
< P >
The Public Speaking instructor should have general knowledge of these basic elements of the curriculum: Model Congress/UN, Oratory, Debate, Improvisational Speaking, Readers Theater, and Negotiations. Expertise in at least one of these areas is preferred. The Instructor should also have some experience teaching adolescents whether it be in a standard classroom or camp setting.
< P >
The primary responsibility for the contractor will be to teach the public speaking curriculum at the Camp. However, this position includes some responsibilities prior to the beginning of the camp, some general supervision while at the camp, and assistance in improving and updating the existing curriculum.
< P >
Before camp actually begins, the contractor should review the existing curriculum and then plan their daily lessons incorporating their own ideas as approved by the Curriculum Director and the Camp Director. This Instructor must arrive on campus at least one day early for some basic training and an all-hands staff meeting. Contractor will work with other public speaking instructors in organizing and standardizing curriculum for the camp including handouts, projects and assignments. Contractor should also expect to assist in the set up of camp including, but not limited to, check-in duties and supervising/leading icebreaker activities.
< P >
Most teaching will be done solo in a small group setting of 10 - 12 students per session. However, some co-teaching to the entire group of campers may happen periodically. Instruction will occur for about two and one half-hours in the morning, two to three hours in the afternoon and two hours in the evening. It is expected that the majority of class time will be spent on speaking activities with very little lecture.
< P >
There will also be a few hours of recreation or an excursion each day. Some general supervision typical of a camp environment is required and will be coordinated by the camp director, with rotations of duties used to insure reasonable breaks are given to all faculty and staff.
< P >
Finally, the contractor is required to provide written evaluations for each student by the last day of camp. These evaluations will be sent home along with a Certificate of Completion.
