Curriculum and Instruction Clinical Assistant Professor Sheila Dean would like to hire 3-4 education students to work about 25-35 hours each on the project described below at the rate of $10/hour, preferably during spring semester, but the project completion date is August, so summer work is also possible.  If interested, contact Sheila Dean at srdean@illinois.edu.

Students will work on a project to develop a K-12 sustainability resource (online) for Illinois teachers and pre-service teachers.  One part of this resource will be an annotated bibliography of the better-quality materials.  Another part of the resource will be example problem-based units addressing both local and global sustainability issues.  Another part will be a good, complete brief overview of all of the facets of sustainability and example interdisciplinary introductory lessons.  Finally, it will include general guidelines for teachers to use to develop their own PBL sustainability units focused around their own very specific local issues. Students working on the project will primarily be searching for appropriate materials online and in published form, compiling information, and possibly modifying or writing lesson plans and units. No specific experience is required but website development experience would be useful.

City Year is hiring 3,000 recent college graduates (or students that want to take a year off) to work full time at our 24 US locations. We hire City Year corps members to work for one academic school year to keep students in school and on track to graduation. Teams of highly-trained corps members serve full-time in schools as tutors, mentors and role models. By focusing on attendance, behavior and course performance, which identify students who are at risk of dropping out, corps members are uniquely able to help students and schools succeed.

We are the most diverse youth service corps in the country so we accept all majors, our members are not teachers which is why we don’t limit our recruitment to schools of education. Corps members pursue a variety of careers after City Year.

City Year’s Benefits Include:

• Generous Monthly Living Stipend
• $5550 Segal Education Award
• Federal student loan forbearance
• Health Insurance
• Uniform provided by Timberland and ARAMARK
• Eligibility for graduate school scholarships to over 60 accredited colleges and universities providing 25-100% of tuition! http://www.cityyear.org/giveayear.aspx
