Description
Geffen Academy Educators approach teaching as an intellectual profession of the highest order, one in which knowledge is not only transmitted but created. Geffen Academy Educators possess a sophisticated and reflective understanding of their discipline and a record of achievement which demonstrates their ability to utilize and contribute to the robust connections we have with UCLA, a world-class research institution. Educators' innovation is guided by our school's mission to prioritize proven educational practices while also recognizing that teaching is a complex intellectual endeavor that defies rigid codification. We are committed to a humane working environment and also recognize that teaching goes beyond the life of the mind. Geffen Academy Educators seek to create trusting and caring relationships with their students and with their larger community.
Summary
I-Track is an essential academic pillar at Geffen Academy. The department encapsulates design thinking as a framework for future innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders. In this three-week course, students use Geffen Academy's Makerspace to solve real-world problems, often building solutions with their own hands. Students will create prototypes using a variety of tools, including textiles, hand tools, and modeling. This course will be self-guided, with supervision and instruction, with student safety at the core of each assignment.
Under the direction of the Summer Program Director at Geffen Academy at UCLA, the Summer I-Track Educator will create this course of study, prepare materials, and deliver an excellent summer I-Track enrichment course for Geffen Academy's Summer Program students. The Educator will teach three courses in the Makerspace: One for rising 5th grade students, one for rising 6th grade students, and one for students entering grades 7 - 12. The classes range from 50 - 90 minutes long and take place every day over the three-week period. The courses are taught in-person on Geffen Academy's Campus.
