Do you love teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ? If so, this position could be for you! The Orem area is searching for future full and part-time Seminary and Institute Teachers. Ideal candidates will have a love of youth and young adults coming from all walks of life. They will be individuals of high character and have a capacity to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ in a Christ centered, learner focused, and scripturally based way. We are looking for dedicated individuals who are effective administrators who can work well with parents and priesthood leaders as they strive to help the rising generation.
This application is the first step in the process individuals must complete to be considered for employment in Seminaries and Institutes. The process consists of the following:
1. Complete the REL 471 Teaching Seminary Workshop. You can register for this class by going to myinstitute.churchofjesuschrist.org. If you have difficulty registering, please contact Kami.Wendel@churchofjesuschrist.org. As part of this class, you will participate and be evaluated in a peer-to-peer teaching experience.
2. Participate in a brief (3-4 days) teaching practicum in a local seminary.
3. Student Teach. Student teachers are selected from successful practicum participants. There are more practicum participants than there are student teacher openings in any given term.
Student teachers are hired to teach one or two seminary classes in a local seminary. Student teachers are paid for teaching time, and for preparation and administrative time. The typical student teacher assignment is a 15-20 hour per week position.
The student teacher experience can last from one semester/trimester up to a full high school academic year, and in some cases even longer. During this time, student teachers continue the training process and are assessed and evaluated throughout as they are considered for employment. Decisions about full-time employment are made by the administration of Seminaries and Institutes in Salt Lake City. Decisions about part-time employment are made by local S&I administrators and depend on current demand. There are always more student teachers than there are openings in any given year.
