3. Call for teaching artist for City Studies 4-session project
We're seeking a teaching artist to design and implement a 4-session project for high school students at the New York City College of Technology. CUP's project-based curricula enable students to explore fundamental questions about how the city works, through collaborative research and design.
This project will investigate the process of applying for financial aid and will be part of a Research Methods class for high school students. The class will be producing a visualization that breaks down this complex system so that others will be able to better navigate the financial aid process. The project will be developed in close collaboration with CUP staff. The class meets 9:30 am - 12:30 pm on the following Saturdays: May 12, May 19, June 2, and June 9.
CUP teaching artists and designers work with CUP staff to develop course ideas, schedules, lesson plans, and to document the project. The teaching artist will be paid $1600, and there is a separate budget for materials and other project costs. CUP is an equal opportunity employer and strongly encourages people of color, women, LGBTQ and disabled candidates to apply.
Instructions for applicants:
