The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
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
[http://myinstitute.churchofjesuschrist.org/]. If you have difficulty
registering, please contact Kami.Wendel@churchofjesuschrist.org
[Kami.Wendel@churchofjesuschrist.org?subject=Registering for REL 471]. 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.
