The Grayson School: Spanish Teacher (Part-Time)

The Grayson School is looking for a part-time Spanish teacher to join our team in January, 2020! This is a unique opportunity to become a part of the first school specifically designed to meet the needs of gifted students in Pennsylvania. You will have a chance to join the extraordinary faculty of an up-and-coming independent school with a mission to serve as an exemplar for gifted education and educational innovation.

We are looking for individuals who excel at flexible and creative thinking; who see themselves as learners rather than lecturers; who have excellent content mastery as well as solid teaching experience; who are enthusiastic, highly motivated, committed, and eager to join a community that is passionate about supporting gifted children.

You will be expected to teach small classes of no more than 8 students while fostering an effective, engaged, student-centered learning environment. Opportunities for growth and leadership are significant as the school continues to expand in the coming years.

YOU MUST HAVE:

• Passion, creativity, and content expertise.
• A Pennsylvania teaching certificate or private academic certification (may be in process; we will help qualified candidates obtain certification).
• Up-to-date (less than 1 year old) clearances prior to beginning work, including Federal Criminal History, PA State Criminal Record Check, PA Child Abuse History Clearance, Mandated Reporter training, TB test, Act 168, and any additional required clearances.
• Sensitivity to and awareness of the social and emotional characteristics of gifted children.
• The ability to clearly articulate evaluations and opportunities for our students and school in both written and spoken communication.

IT WOULD BE AWESOME IF:

• You have an advanced degree in education or Spanish.
• You have additional language expertise (polyglots welcome!).
• You have experience working with gifted children.
• You delight in partnering with colleagues to provide rich, integrated, creative learning experiences for young people.
