The
Honors College is looking for talented students to teach HONR100 in the
fall 2014 semester. HONR100 is a 1-credit course for new Honors
students and assists in the transition to the university.
Section
Leaders are responsible for teaching and mentoring approximately 15 new
Honors students through their first semester. The Section Leader
creates lesson plans within the parameters of course goals and
facilitates weekly discussions. The Section Leader also grades
assignments and maintains class records.
Students
selected for the Section Leader program receive 3 credits for teaching
HONR100. Section Leaders earn 1-credit for successfully completing a
training course offered in Spring 2014 (Thursdays from 5:00- 6:00
p.m.).
The
remaining 2 credits are earned in Fall 2014 by teaching HONR100.
Students must successfully complete the spring training course before
being able to teach HONR100. Section Leaders teach a class either
individually or in pairs.
Because
Honors Welcome Week is a part of HONR100 and counts toward course
points, Section Leaders are required to participate in the events with
their students. Honors Welcome is scheduled for Aug. 27- Sept. 2,
2013.
Students
must have at least a 3.0 GPA to be selected for the Section Leader
Program.
Interested
students should send a resume and a personal statement to Liza Lebrun
at: LLebrun@umd.edu
The
personal statement should explain address the following questions:
-
Why do you want to be a Section Leader?
-
What are your previous qualifications e.g., mentoring or teaching experience?
-
What do you hope to get by participating in the program?
Also
provide a name and contact information for a personal reference. No
reference letter required.
Interested students must also participate in an interview. Students will receive information about the interview process after submitting an application.
If
you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Liza Lebrun at
LLebrun@umd.edu
