Part-Time History Instructor Grades 6-12, Asynchronous

Kolbe’s Self-Paced Plus Program offers students the benefit of one-on-one interaction with an experienced Kolbe teacher, coupled with the flexibility of asynchronous lessons and assignments that can be utilized at the convenience of the student. With no live class time, the student and parent are free to implement their own plan for the completion of any given course. The student has access to pre-recorded lessons, and a mixture of auto-graded and instructor-graded assignments that contribute to semester grades, which are then reported to a Kolbe Advisor. The Asynchronous Instructor is expected to not only evaluate students’ work, but to interact with students and facilitate successful completion of the course. Applicants should enjoy creating and augmenting the asynchronous classroom. Self-Paced Students are enrolled on a rolling basis and have one year to complete courses. As a result, the following duties are year-round. Duties include:

• Evaluate student submissions within one week
• Give meaningful feedback with comments on points taken off and areas for improvement
• Review auto-graded assignments for accuracy
• Moderate and respond to course discussion boards
• Course content edits to both SP+ and the corresponding SP course
• Check and respond to email and Schoology notifications daily, Monday-Friday, not including holidays or breaks
• Hold up to one office hour per week by appointment either for individual students or groups
• Complete Self-Paced Plus Instructor training, along with training in technology, Kolbe philosophy and policy, and online teaching pedagogy
• Attend Self-Paced Plus and grade level and subject specific meetings as scheduled
