POSITION DESCRIPTION

St. Anne’s Episcopal School is pleased to announce an opening for a full-time 5th-8th Grade Spanish teacher for the 2026-2027 school year. 

WORLD LANGUAGE TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

We want our students to feel confident communicating in an all target-language classroom and to become lifelong language enthusiasts. To that end,  we strive to create a high-interest, supportive classroom environment in which students acquire the language as opposed to simply learning  about the language. We want students to take ownership, show their understanding, be curious and globally-minded about people and cultures, and feel secure enough to take risks. 

OVERALL RESPONSIBILITIES AND EXPECTATIONS

First and foremost, the ideal candidate will have a passion and joy for working with 5th graders and middle school students. They will have native or near-native fluency in both Spanish and English and have a background in language teaching and learning.  The teacher will create a positive learning environment and serve as a great role model and mentor for adolescent children.  The teacher will foster an exciting, dynamic, hands-on, and creative learning environment wherein the teaching of skills, and knowledge, and instilling a passion for Spanish is critical. 

This full-time position consists of teaching four classes (5th-8th Grade Spanish), leading a middle school grade-level student advisory, and filling other supervisory duties.  Fifth-grade Spanish is a cultural and linguistic exploration of Spanish, Spanish-speaking countries, and the value and importance of learning another language and culture. In 6th - 8th grade  classes  we practice acquisition-driven language instruction by providing comprehensible input and other language-rich experiences.

The Middle School Spanish Teacher will work collaboratively with the other members of the World Language Department to continually enhance and improve the 5-8 curriculum. 

IDEAL QUALIFICATIONS: 

• Demonstrate extensive knowledge and understanding of upper elementary and middle school Spanish teaching and learning.

• Experience with student-centered comprehensible input strategies to maximize language acquisition, including staying up-to-date on educational best practices. 

• Actively engage students in the curriculum and concepts through varied and differentiated instruction with the purpose of reaching students with different backgrounds and learning profiles.

• Identify and/or develop resources to meet the needs of the students.

• Able to instill an appreciation of Spanish-speaking cultures and of diverse cultural perspectives. 

• Proficient in and able to incorporate various platforms that enhance language teaching and learning.

• Be compassionate, kind, and love teaching/working with upper elementary  and middle school children.

• Be willing to work in an interdisciplinary, cross-curricular, and collaborative environment.

• Demonstrate flexibility, resilience, accountability, and humor.

• Consistently seek excellence, feedback, and demonstrate a growth mindset.

• Function well both independently and in a team setting.

• Communicate effectively with students, parents, colleagues, and administrators.

• Perform other duties as assigned.

St. Anne’s Episcopal School is committed to creating a supportive learning environment where all individuals are valued for their unique contributions and are able to achieve their highest potential. We strongly believe that a diverse and inclusive environment is the best learning environment for our students and prepares them to live, work, and thrive in an increasingly global and multicultural community.
