Luckily, there are many summer employment opportunities for teachers if you’d like to continue working. Working during the summer break offers many benefits. Some educators view the summer break as a time to check out from their regular career and completely unwind and relax.
Other teachers like to continue their careers during the summer. Summer employment opportunities can help you with the following:
• Keeping teaching skills up-to-date,
• Learning new skills and techniques,
• Opportunity to have new experiences,
• Ability to stay busy and maintain a routine,
• And the chance to earn extra money.
Regardless of why you choose to work twelve months of the year, there are many options in front of you.
For instance, you may want to apply as a summer school instructor. Plenty of schools and districts offer summer programs for struggling and advanced learners. If you specialize in or are interested in a particular core subject, applying to be a summer school teacher may be the right choice for you.
If your own district does not offer this, look to another district or extend your search to a different city. Since summer school teachers can be hard to find, it should be fairly simple to land a position. Consider this the perfect time to update your resume and reflect on new skills you have developed since last fall.
If you are not eager to teach in a classroom setting during the break, you may want to look at being a private tutor. Parents want their children to continue learning throughout the summer, particularly if they are anxious about the upcoming school year. Working with an individual student can be a gratifying experience. You will form a meaningful bond with the student and be asked to assist throughout the school year or during the next summer break.
Reading programs offer a great opportunity to work one-on-one with students or in small groups. Whether as a private tutor or reading program assistant, you can take the time to get to know the students, identify their unique needs and challenges, and develop and adopt an effective program.
The summertime is the perfect chance to apply as a camp counselor or camp instructor. Not only will you continue teaching, but you will also have the opportunity to spend time outdoors, engage in physical activity, and work in a more informal and relaxed environment. Camp counselors have several duties, enabling you to reinforce and hone your supervision, disciplinary, and student engagement skills.
If you enjoy traveling during the summer but would like to earn some extra cash, teaching abroad may be the right job for you! North American summer breaks do not coincide with the rest of the world; therefore, you can find teaching jobs worldwide.
If you would like to try educating adults instead of children, look for positions as a foreign trainer or foreign language instructor. Many Asian countries are looking for ESL teachers to provide basic English language training to their employees.
If you aren’t working during the summer months, you may consider doing some professional development to enhance your current skills or learn new ones.
Regardless of the position you choose, make the most of your summer!
