font-size: 10pt\"><em>‘I came to Shawnigan knowing that I was interested in teaching but was unsure if I wanted to pursue teacher training. I’m so grateful to have been given classroom experience this year because it has solidified what I only previously suspected: that I love teaching. As a Teaching Intern, you will substitute teach in multiple departments, but will have one department that you are more closely affiliated with. I’ve been lucky enough to be a co-teacher in the English department, helping design units, give lessons and mark assessments for our AP Literature classes. As this role also involves acting as a Residential Assistant in a boarding house, you will get to know a lot of your students very well outside of the classroom, which makes the teaching all the more enjoyable.’</em></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\"><em><br></em></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">Positions usually start at the start of the academic year but we welcome applications throughout the year.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\"><br></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">We express our appreciation to all applicants for their interest in this position, however only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\"><br></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\"><em>Shawnigan Lake School is an equal opportunity employer committed to establishing an inclusive, equitable, and accessible environment for all.
