[sudo-discuss] Fwd: After school CS instructor - paid, 3 hours a week

Hi - A group of us went to present at Castlemont recently and when I mentioned this to the folks at a meeting of the CSTA that I attended, their president introduced me to someone who's looking for help in recruiting a CS teacher for an after school program. Here are more details - pls email me if you have questions - the program is at Dewey Academy, and the schedule is: 1. Monday: 2-3p 2. Wednesday: 1230p-110p 3. Friday: 2-3p They are open to a group from Open Oakland attending to check the class out, even if we aren't going to apply for the job. Let me know and I'd love to co-ordinate a visit. Students receive grades that are decided based 65% on attendance and 35% at the instructor's discretion, once every 6 weeks. Dewey is a continuation high school <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation_high_school>, so your students don't necessarily stay through the entire 6 weeks, though they have to in order to get a grade. You can decide your curriculum and pace entirely on your own. The current instructor, Seema Sharma, is a math high school teacher, and taught herself Alice <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_%28programming_language%29>, an instructional programming language to teach the kids. She has also used material from CodeHS.com. The program is run by EBAYC <http://www.ebayc.org/>, where the program manager of the after school program is Brooklyn Williams. She'll probably be responsible for hiring. I can also get you in touch with Seema. Regards, Sameer.
