Job Summary/Basic Functions

Summer Core Instructor Positions:
The EKU Upward Bound program is seeking summer instructors for the 2025 Summer Chautauqua to teach Mathematics, English, Science, or Foreign Language.

The Upward Bound Summer Chautauqua is a six-week, college-preparatory program housed on EKU’s campus which will take place from June 7th- July 17th. Students will live on campus and take classes through this simulated college experience. Classes will run for 5 weeks, Monday through Thursday, beginning on June 10th and ending on July 10th.

Approximately 15-20 students will attend each class meeting. An instructor can expect to teach four sections and have a 9a-3p workday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Instructors will have a 50-minute planning period and a one-hour duty-free lunch each day on campus. Depending on position, these courses should introduce content that would allow students to excel in the Fall during their next academic year.

Instructors are expected to design and implement a curriculum for the courses that will allow students to expand their mind, gain independence, and participate in this simulated college experience. In addition, are expected to attend a brief orientation in late May, an awards banquet for students, and an end of summer debrief meeting.
