OLLI is currently seeking instructors to teach day, evening and Saturday courses and workshops in a wide variety of areas, including art, foreign language, history, current events, international affairs, government and politics, philosophy and the social sciences~ just to name a few. Instructors are needed in both Sioux Falls and Brookings. Read below for more information!
Dear Prospective OLLI Instructor,
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute offers instructors an opportunity to teach adult learners who have a passion for learning and a curiosity about many things. At OLLI there are no grades, no credit, no tests--just the pleasure of sharing your knowledge and experience with those who greatly appreciate that gift. These unique students truly appreciate their courses and the expertise of those that teach them.
Course scheduling is very flexible, but typically a course meets once per week for two to six weeks, 90 minutes to two hours per class. You may also choose to offer a single lecture on a compelling topic. Classes are offered days, evenings, and Saturday mornings. OLLI has three terms per year: fall (Sept. - Nov.), winter (Jan. - Feb.) and spring (Apr. - June). To see descriptions of our current and past courses, click on the "Courses" tab in this website.
Preference is strongly given to those who have had significant teaching experience.
Instructors are paid a contact hour fee. (Some have chosen to generously donate all or a portion of their compensation back to OLLI.) For more information on OLLI instructor compensation, click here.
