2026 Summer Program Teacher Course Proposal

We are looking for experienced educators who have a passion for teaching! For over 21 years, the Pasadena Educational Foundation’s Summer Enrichment Program has mixed academic subjects with hands-on exploration to help prepare students for the upcoming school year.

Our 5-week morning program has 2 formats.

• Younger students (TK - 2nd grade) will spend the entire morning program in one self-contained/intro classroom.


• Older students (grades 2 and up) typically split their morning schedule into 3 blocks. Each block is a little over an hour long and has a different group of students. Most teachers teach the same class in each block.

This year, our program is for students in grades TK-8. We will no longer offer courses designed for high school students.

You can visit our website to view last year's class schedule and the types of classes we typically offer. http://www.pased.org/summer

Please note:

• Both current PUSD and non-PUSD employees are welcome to apply.


• Prior employment by PEF does not guarantee a position for the 2025 summer program.


• Employment is dependent on actual enrollment numbers, and will be confirmed in May 2025.


• Employment is dependent upon verification and timely completion, before the program starts, of all mandated payroll tax (W-4, DE4) and employment eligibility (I-9) forms, and a background check.


• Teachers must commit to 5 working hours per day, Monday through Thursday, for the entire 5-week program in June and July 2025. Exact dates and times TBD.


• This is a temporary, part-time position that does not include paid time off or benefits.

Courses are chosen based on proposal strength, student projects/activities, teacher qualifications, cost of materials, and student/parent interest. You will be notified as soon as more details of the program are determined, which may not be until late January 2025. All applicants will receive a response.

Thank you for your proposal!
