About The Position

In Ferguson-Florissant, the belief is that college readiness is a mindset, not just a test score. The district is seeking three equity-minded, high-impact Seminar Instructors to lead a summer Early College/Dual Enrollment intensive. This role involves being the Architect of Collegiate Mastery, equipping scholars with the habits, inquiry skills, and professional confidence needed for university-level success.

The instructor will collaborate with a team of fellow instructors to ensure scholars are not just "eligible" for college, but "prepared" for its rigor.
