Iranian Cultural Society of North Carolina (ICSNC) is looking to recruit volunteers to teach Persian language and culture at the Persian School.   Persian School volunteer teachers will seek to accomplish the ICSNC’s philosophy of education through instruction and example and provide lessons following the Persian School adopted class curriculum.  Persian School volunteer teachers will take precautions to protect students, equipment, materials and facilities, and keep accurate attendance records as well as the teaching material delivered for each session.  Persian School volunteer teachers will collaborate with Persian School principal and other volunteer teachers to create and implement rules and policies regulating student conduct. All volunteers will go through training to ensure that they are fully prepared to teach the class they are assigned. The Persian School and Principal vow to support every volunteer.
