High School ESL (Fluent in Spanish) Teacher (9-12)

The Opportunity:

The Multilingual Programs at Mastery Schools are built on the belief that native language skills are a true asset and transfer to secondary language learning. Based on this, students receiving ELD services are taught social & instructional language in tandem with academic language of Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies throughout each stage of English proficiency.  ESL teachers work with our multilingual learners to build students’ language capacity, gain greater levels of access to the curriculum and bridge students’ prior learning and experiences into English-instructed classrooms and school environment.

Mastery values the language and cultural diversity that English Learners bring into our schools. We strive to incorporate the literature and historical perspective of our multilingual learners into the curriculum, school community, and classroom culture.

Whether you are starting your teaching career or are looking to launch a new chapter, your passion and experience will be deeply valued and your opportunities for growth and impact will be limitless.  Your natural talents will be fostered and we will provide the training and support to help you be an incredibly effective teacher. As a Mastery team member, you will be trusted to make decisions and held accountable for critical results.  You will engage in a positive and professional workplace embedded in a warm, joyful, student-centered, and welcoming school culture.
