The ideal Hospitality Instructor is an experienced professional with strong front of house and back of house experience. The ideal candidate will be as passionate about food as they are about service. Their colleagues in the kitchen or dining room would call them a mentor and coach. Previous teaching experience is not a prerequisite.
The Hospitality Instructor will design learning experiences that challenge students to think critically, solve problems, work collaboratively, and produce work they are proud of.
Over a 3-year curriculum, the hospitality instructor will prepare 8-10th grade students for internships and externships at local hospitality businesses in their 11th and 12th grade years.
Design and facilitate project-based culinary experiences that integrate academic standards with real-world application.
Teach students culinary fundamentals including food preparation, knife skills, baking, nutrition, sanitation, and kitchen safety.
