The Durango School District 9-R Summer Academy is currently seeking current employees and community members interested in teaching summer courses. Instructors in the Summer Academy Program set their own curriculum and work with students who are excited about their subject! We especially need science and modern languages teachers. Summer Academy Instructors do not have to have a teaching credential as this is an enrichment program. This year’s program will take place during two weeks of June (June 11-15 and 18-22, 2012).
