Outlets for highly-experienced Teachers and/or Directors?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding effective platforms for recruiting Site Directors for a STEM camp and afterschool program in NYC. The Administrative Coordinator is exploring various online sites, including Indeed, Glassdoor, and LinkedIn, but seeks additional suggestions. Participants suggest that while some platforms like Reddit, Facebook, and Craigslist may not be ideal, targeting local universities could yield better results. Posting professional flyers in relevant departments such as Physics, Engineering, and Math, as well as the Student Union, is recommended as a strategy to attract qualified candidates. There is a preference expressed for avoiding paid advertising unless it demonstrates a strong return on investment.

Hi, I'm the Administrative Coordinator for a rapidly-growing STEM camp & afterschool education program (NYC based) that is beginning to look for Site Directors for the upcoming winter and summer camps. Does anyone know any sites or places I should look into where people of said-experience hang out? I'm thinking for forums similar to reddit or any other similar sites. So far we have postings on Indeed and will likely add Glassdoor/LinkedIn as additional platforms, but other than those platforms are there any I'm missing out on?

Attached is a list of resources I've considered.

Many platforms on your list seem reasonable, but I wouldn't think Reddit, Facebook or Craigslist (or PF) would good bets. Are you creating paid ads for any these platforms?
 
Do you have universities nearby? I would think you would get good responses if you put up professional-looking flyers on the bulletin boards of the Physics, Engineering and Math departments, and maybe also the Student Union. I see such flyers on the bulletin boards at Stanford when I stop over there, for example.

I'd prefer to dodge paid forums or subscriptions, unless they prove to have incredible R.O.Is.
 

Thread 'How can we teach students the difference between sequences and series?'

Sequences and series are related concepts, but they differ extremely from one another. I believe that students in integral calculus often confuse them. Part of the problem is that: Sequences are usually taught only briefly before moving on to series. The definition of a series involves two related sequences (terms and partial sums). Both have operations that take in a sequence and output a number (the limit or the sum). Both have convergence tests for convergence (monotone convergence and...
