The ARRL Is Looking for a Few Good Instructors

Teachers who have participated in ARRL's popular summer professional 
development workshops, the ARRL Teachers Institute on Wireless 
Technology, continue to spread the word about this exceptional 
experience and the unique value that Amateur Radio and the wireless 
technology curricula bring to their classrooms. The Teachers 
Institute is one outreach component of ARRL's Education & Technology 
Program, which has received strong donor support to bring Amateur 
Radio and the exploration of radio science to schools and classrooms. 
Building on our success, the League is making plans to expand the 
Teachers Institute next year, and needs instructors to lead the 
Institute sessions.

Contingent on funding, the ARRL plans to offer six four-day sessions 
in 2008 to provide opportunities for 72 teachers, and is looking for 
additional qualified instructors to support this expansion of the 
program. The Teachers Institute Instructor position is a part-time 
contract position that will require lead instruction at a Teachers 
Institute workshop during the Spring/Summer of 2008 as a paid 
associate instructor, under the direction of the Teachers Institute 
Program Manager. Successful performance may lead to a follow-on 
contract to provide continuing teacher support throughout the year, 
as well as instruction at future Teachers Institutes.

Qualifications for Teachers Institute Instructor

If you have an Amateur Extra class license as well as a current 
teaching credential or equivalent college/university teaching 
experience, the ARRL would like to hear from you. Applicants should 
also have experience using ham radio in a school curriculum and an 
extensive familiarity with electronics and wireless technology. 
Qualified applicants should also be able to connect with teachers 
working in a variety of classroom environments and with a variety of 
age groups.

If you are interested in applying for this exciting opportunity, 
please visit the information page to learn more about the positions 
and application instructions.
