Faculty Application

HSI is a 3 week pre-college summer camp for Wyoming rising high school juniors. During camp, scholars take a STEM and Humanities course led by wonderful faculty from across UW. Faculty will teach for half the camp for a total of six days with sessions in the morning and afternoon. Scholars do not have homework or tests during class. Instead classes focus on learning through class work, field trips, and interactive learning opportunities.

Application Process

Faculty selection is based on personality and attitude as well as on course proposals. Individuals applying must also have enthusiasm, an interest in high school age students and the ability to relate to this age group, flexibility, and readiness to share in responsibilities outside of the classroom.


Those wishing to apply to teach for HSI should send the following to the HSI office (hsi@uwyo.edu) or drop it off no later than the due date established by the program (typically mid-January):
·       A course description (3-5 pages) which includes a general description of the instructional format and a suggested list of reading materials.
·       A cover letter - explaining your reasons for wanting to teach and learn in this environment.
·       A CV - of academic career, including references to course development and teaching achievements.

 

You will be notified of the courses selected for the Summer High School Institute by early February.
