The Center for Children and Families at Florida International University announces Summer Treatment
Program positions for elementary-level regular and special education teachers, and for elementary-level art
teachers. The Summer Treatment Program (STP) provides services to children with Attention-Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Conduct Disorder, Oppositional-Defiant Disorder, learning problems, and related
behavior problems. The program provides treatment tailored to children's individual behavioral and learning
difficulties.

The dates of employment for the Elementary Teacher position are Monday, June 8, 2026 through
Saturday, August 1, 2026. Elementary Teacher hours of employment are 7:30 AM ' 5:30 PM, Monday through
Friday, with the addition of Saturday, August 2 (program wrap-up).

Teachers may participate in additional
meetings with parents and staff as necessary. The salary for this position is $10,000 for the summer.
During the program, children are assigned to groups that remain constant for the duration of the program.
Each academic teacher works with 2-3 groups, and art teachers work with all age groups in the STP-E. Each
group consists of 10 to 15 children of similar age.

Teachers implement an extensive behavior modification
treatment program during classroom activities. The program includes feedback and associated consequences
for work productivity and classroom behavior, daily and weekly rewards for appropriate behavior, social praise
and attention, appropriate commands, and age-appropriate removal from positive reinforcement. Teachers will
also be responsible for recording, tracking, and entering daily records of children's classroom behavior and
performance.

Each teacher will supervise a classroom aide who will assist with classroom management and
recordkeeping. Teachers will work under the supervision of experienced staff members and will receive regular
feedback about their performance.

In the STP-E, children participate in two daily academic periods. Children complete assignments in typical
age-appropriate subjects such as arithmetic, reading, and language arts. The classroom activities focus on
improving children's on-task behavior, following teacher directives, and exhibiting appropriate classroom
behavior, in addition to providing practice at the children's current grade level to avoid summer learning loss.
Teachers are responsible for determining children's appropriate work levels by reviewing previous records and
by providing preliminary work during the first week of the program.

Each week, teachers review children's performance and make adjustments to maintain a challenging level for each child throughout the summer.
Children may also work on a variety of other assignments such as small-group instruction. In addition to the
treatment provided in the program, some research is conducted, and teachers are required to follow research
protocols that are being implemented in the classroom settings.

Art teachers are responsible for planning daily art projects for the children in the STP-E program. Projects
should be age-appropriate and should be engaging as well as instructive. Teachers should plan for
approximately 45 minutes of project time each day.
During the first week of employment, Elementary Teachers will participate in a variety of training activities.
Training will consist of lectures, slide and video presentations, testing, and daily active role-plays during which

staff members will act as Teachers, Aides and children during classroom activities and time out. On the last day
of employment, Teachers will complete rating scales regarding progress children made in the program and
children's response to treatment. In addition, Teachers will prepare and summarize information to be included in
children's final treatment reports.
