Interested in Teaching Summer School??

We recognize the emotional toll the pandemic has caused for everyone. Southeast Polk educators have been tireless this year in providing learning opportunities while continuing to care for our students in a very challenging time. We are creating some options for teaching summer school that will allow teachers to teach if they choose, but will also provide time for well deserved rest and relaxation. 

The RAM Camp will have 2 shifts--an AM academic shift (Math and ELA) and a PM Camp/Club shift. The AM shift is from 8:00-12:00 and the PM shift is from 12:00-4:00.

  • Teachers may apply to teach either shift 1 or shift 2, or both.
To teach shift 1, an elementary degree is required.  To teach shift 2, a teaching degree is required.
Elementary teachers are eligible to teach either shift 1 or 2.
Any teacher (PK-12) is eligible to teach shift 2.
  • Teachers may choose to apply with a partner.  The team will plan and collaborate together, and each teacher will teach 10 of the 20 days.
  • Model Teachers and Instructional Coaches may use summer school teaching towards their additional contract days.
  • Each teacher hired to teach summer school will be paid for up to 8 hours of planning prior to July 12th.
