General Assembly | http://ga.co | Boston, on-site only | Contract or Full-time | Web Development Instructor (JS, Node, Angular) We teach people to level up in their tech skills or make a career change to something they love in tech, business, or design. We're looking for people who love teaching and specialize in Javascript to be instructors for our 12-week web development bootcamp in late June. The program runs for 12 weeks with 2 weeks of training and planning beforehand, so the position is 6/8 - 9/11. Major topics: Javascript, Node, Express, Hapi, Firebase, HTML/CSS, AJAX, jQuery, Ruby, Rails as an API, Postgres, Angular. Many curriculum materials already exist, but you should be prepared to create your own too. Some examples of student final projects: http://gallery.ga.co/ Many of our instructors have worked as developers for a while and want to try something different, particularly mentoring students (who are an incredibly dedicated bunch). Teaching is challenging, rewarding, and deeply meaningful to all of us here, and students consistently say that taking our bootcamp course has been one of the most transformative experiences of their lives. Details: - You have at least 2 years of experience as a web developer - You've worked with Javascript/Node/Angular and perhaps Rails - You have a knack for explaining how code works to someone who's just starting out - You enjoy teaching and being a mentor to others - You're kind, respectful, and enthusiastic - You can't wait to share your knowledge and skills with our students! Interested? Email anna.tsykalova@ga.co.
