Sayre School is currently accepting applications for a dedicated educator who loves Lower School students to teach Spanish in our World Language program to preschool through 4 grade. Sayre's World Language program empowers students to explore, comprehend and appreciate cultures and languages as curious and empathetic world citizens. The candidate should, at a minimum, possess a degree in Spanish, Elementary Education, or a related field; an interest in collaborating with a team of teachers; and experience working with preschool- and elementary-age children. An active curiosity about kids and their learning styles, passion for language teaching, flexibility, and a sense of humor are key. This is a wonderful independent school and a great place to work. The position includes teaching students from Preschool through 4th grade. Spanish is taught with the youngest students in their classroom and separately with students in first through fourth grade. A comprehensive, rich curriculum guide with hands-on materials, music, and literature is available for the hired teacher to use as the basis of their program, although instruction need not be limited to this curriculum. An organized teacher with a love of young children and the Spanish language will thrive! Students in our classes are engaged in active learning. They develop cultural competency and spoken language for interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational communication. The thoughtful use of authentic materials, the regular use of the target language, and vibrant, purposeful engagement with existing and emerging technologies guide students in building robust second-language and general literacy skills, making them better citizens of an ever-changing world. Applicants are asked to submit a resume, cover letter, and the names of at least two references.
