Our Programs | Apply to be Summer Program Faculty
Each year, Telluride Association hires a pair of faculty to teach each TASS and TASP seminar.
Telluride seeks talented instructors to teach its two summer programs for high school students: the Telluride Association Sophomore Seminar (TASS) and the Telluride Association Summer Program (TASP) for high school juniors. In 2011, Telluride Association, in conjunction with Indiana University and the University of Michigan, will host one TASS at each institution. In conjunction with Cornell University and the University of Michigan, the Telluride Association will host two Telluride Association Summer Programs (TASPs) at each institution. In total Telluride will offer two TASSes and four TASPs in 2011.
In addition to a competitive stipend, TASS and TASP offer educators the opportunity to teach courses to new audiences and in different formats. Past faculty have reported some of the biggest rewards have been teaching with colleagues and re-imagining courses for high school students. Teaching a TASS or TASP seminar can also be an opportunity for faculty to test out new courses. Students go through a rigorous selection process, and faculty have reported overwhelming satisfaction with the level of interaction they have with young, eager students.
