Virtual Lead Instructor 

Picture
Overview
The lead instructor is responsible for running an eight week long online class. This includes leading the two weekly synchronous classes , evaluating student homework and managing teacher's assistants. It will be your responsibility to ensure that the class runs smoothly and take care of any issues, whether related to student behavior or errors in code. A lead instructor must possess strong leadership skills and a high level of independence.
Our current curricula for online classes include the Code.org (K-1st), Lego Explorers (K-1st), Scratch (2-3rd), Snap Circuits (2-5th), Scratch (4-6th), Python (6-8th), and TinkerCAD (5-8th). Lead instructors are expected to have mastered the curriculum they teach.

Starting Time
We start class sessions every few months. At the start of each session, accepted teachers will be given the option to volunteer in the class session. Although we do our best to give classes to all interested teachers, they are given based on teacher availability, position, and class interest. For that reason, it can take a some time to get a class.
