Yes! To be specific, there is no conflict with being a Resident Assistant and/or Orientation Leader and a Facilitator for RIT 365. In general, it is recommended that students don't exceed an estimated 20 hours per week of extra-curricular obligations. You are welcome to ask more about balancing the Facilitator role with other positions in your interview.
Because of labor and wage laws surrounding the hourly nature of non-exempt work, we are unable to hire non-exempt employees at this time. We recognize that this is a tremendous barrier and excludes many qualified people from pursuing this opportunity. This is a restriction that exists at both the University and State levels and is beyond the control of our department.
As a teacher/instructor you are likely to be considered an authority in the room and have an expertise in the subject matter of the course. The role of a teacher/instructor is to deliver content information in a format that helps students learn and retain it. As a facilitator, you are not THE expert and actively work to discourage the authority that students may give you because of your position. Your role is to create a space where every student's experience and perspective is valued equally. As a facilitator, you are a co-learner with the students.
We are hiring on a rolling basis. Applications are welcome mid-January and will be accepted through early July. If your application is approved, you will receive detailed information regarding scheduling an interview.
RIT 365 will be delivered according to university guidelines. Classes for Fall 2024 will be delivered in person.
Come prepared to explore, self-reflect, and articulate experience(s) relevant to the listed job responsibilities. In addition, please give thought to relevant experience with co-facilitation and/or teamwork, dialogue practice, and experiential learning.
