The Summer position will be full-time work with a variety of community-based programs to improve literacy and math skills of young children in the Madison Metropolitan School District's 4K Summer School Program, which is a 6-week program developed to address academic needs of struggling MMSD students entering Kindergarten each fall. This is a great opportunity to work directly with classroom teachers and students. Applicants should demonstrate knowledge or interest in working with diverse populations. Some previous experience working with children is preferred. Summer members are paid $2,154 and are eligible for a $1,175 education award upon successful completion of the summer term.
