Department of English Language Learner Programs

Cambridge is a vibrant, diverse city as well as a central hub of the nation’s innovative economy. Educating approximately 7,000 students preK–12+, the Cambridge Public Schools consists of diverse and dedicated faculty, cutting-edge technology and innovative programs. While each of the CPS school communities is unique, they are joined in a shared vision of rigorous, joyful and culturally responsive learning. Over 30% of CPS students speak a language other than English at home, and more than 70 languages are represented across the district.

Our schools proudly embrace this linguistic and cultural diversity while striving to establish high expectations for all students.

The Cambridge Public Schools seeks a talented and energetic SEI/ELL Reading Interventionist Teacher to provide direct, targeted literacy interventions to English Learners. The SEI Reading Interventionist will be part of a teaching team with SEI classroom teachers and will share responsibilities for supporting the literacy development of English Learners in Grades K-8. Additionally, the SEI Reading Interventionist Teacher will team with the SEI teachers in the administration of appropriate assessments as required by the Cambridge Public Schools;

implement intervention programs based on the assessment results, and be able to align instruction with the CPS, Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks, and WIDA Standards.

This position will be split between the Tobin Montessori and Darby Vassal Lane Upper School. The SEI Reading Interventionist will report to the ELL Department.

• Plan leveled, targeted, direct literacy lessons that are appropriately scaffolded for English language learners.
• Modify literacy intervention materials and programs to fit the academic, linguistic, and literacy needs of ELLs.

• Collaborate with the school based literacy team and the school’s family liaisons to plan activities that will engage and help families support their children’s learning.
• Perform other duties as requested by the Coordinator of the ELL Programs Department.

As the incoming SEI Reading Interventionist you will possess many, though perhaps not all, of the following characteristics and qualifications:

• Master’s degree or higher from an accredited college or university with a major in Reading and/or ESL
• Massachusetts Educator Licenses in ESL/ELL and Reading are required
