Adventurers – 15 hours a week The Role At Academic Summer Camp you have plenty of freedom in what you teach; our academic team will give you guidance and help your planning but feel free to get creative! No homework or tests - our priority is providing dynamic and engaging lessons which combine theory and practical to excite our eager learners. If you’re teaching Adventurers, you’ll typically have a class who you’ll be with for the week, covering the full primary curriculum (and if you’re at our Westminster camp you’ll have afternoon supervision and leisure trips each afternoon). If you’re with seniors, you’ll usually have a mix of Pathfinders, Explorers and Engagers (at our Westminster camp this could mean you have a group of Explorers one week, Engagers the next, or Pathfinders and Explorers in the morning and Engagers in the afternoon). If you’re at our Sidcot School camp you can expect to teach either Adventurers or a mix of Pathfinders/Explorers/Engagers blocks for a mix of subjects. How many classes/streams you teach each week depends on your subject flexibility and the subjects timetabled each week. The teaching role includes but isn’t limited to: • Planning lessons, completing a SoW on Academic Summer Camp’s CRM for each block you’re scheduled to teach • Teaching lessons as scheduled • Tailoring lessons for mixed academic and language abilities • Fostering English language development following the CLIL philosophy • Develop critical thinking and study skills including use of AI and technology • Use Teams and electronic resources as we have a no paper policy with Explores and Engagers • Produce risk assessments as required and submit to the DoS/Course Director • Attending weekly teacher meetings • Attending assemblies as required • Writing weekly reports for each student in each subject/stream you teach, following guidance set out by the academic team • Ensuring you know the Be a Leader theme for the day and incorporating this into lessons, promoting the course and its values • Upholding high standards of behaviour
