Intel’s Adjunct Teacher Initiative
Intel firmly believes that today’s students are tomorrow’s innovators. As part of our education initiative, we want today’s students to have the math and science skills required to be successful in the global economy. This program brings specially trained Intel employees into high school classrooms during the day to extend the teachers’ reach and bring real world relevance to the students’ studies. Volunteers participate in a 30 hour teacher-training program provided by the State Board of Education which equips them with basic classroom skills and teaching methodologies for the curriculum they will be presenting. Volunteers then visit throughout the semester to present lessons tied to their math/science topics.
Due to the success of the program, we are recruiting more Intel volunteers to go into classrooms for the 2009-2010 school year and plan to start training in October. We are expanding our recruiting to the Intel retiree community in Arizona.
Commitment is for one school semester, and includes approximately 30 hours of training, and an ongoing commitment to be in the classroom 4-5 times/week for about an hour, plus prep time and drive time. If you are able to meet this commitment, please contact Cathleen Barton for more information.
