Teach for America--1998 Summer Institute, Operations Coordinator Program

Teach for America is national teacher corps of outstanding recent
college graduates of all academic majors who commit two years to
teach in under-resourced urban and rural public schools. Each year,
about 1,000 corps members reach more than 100,000 students. Corps
members were leaders on their college campuses, are leaders in
their classrooms, schools and communities, and will be lifelong
leaders in the pursuit of educational excellence for all children.

Operations Coordinator Program: coordinators are responsible for
   supporting the organization's efforts to manage and maintain a
   successful summer institute that serves over 500 teachers, called
   corps members, 150 faculty and staff members, and the summer 
   schools program that serves over 3,000 students at nine different
   public school sites in Houston, Texas. The summer institute is the
   primary component of Teach for America's pre-service program.

   All operations coordinators will be expected to assist with general
   institute support, including clerical, administrative, and logistical
   tasks. While operations coordinators may not be working directly with
   children, they will play an integral role in the daily operations of 
   a fully staffed office that supports the training of new teachers.   

Eligibility: Open to all interested persons. Teach for America is 
   particularly interested in recruiting individuals from a diversity
   of backgrounds. 

Period: From Sunday, June 14, 1998 to Thursday, July 30, 1998 in 
   Houston, Texas. 

Salary: Room and board at the institute, travel to and from the
   institute, and a $1,500 (gross) stipend.

Deadline: February 27, 1998
