Roughly 40% of our students are English Learners, and our hallways carry Spanish, Khmer, Portuguese, Arabic, and many more languages. We see those languages as an academic asset, and we are looking for a leader who agrees.

We are seeking a K-12 World Language Coordinator who will lead our program across all three of our schools (K-4, 5-8, and 9-12) and teach one section of AP Spanish each day . This is a rare chance to shape a program's vision, not just maintain it.

• Partner with our English Learner, special education, and counseling teams so every student can access world language learning.
• Organize school wide events that celebrate our community's languages and cultures.
• Use data to track student growth, enrollment in advanced pathways, and AP outcomes.

• Massachusetts license in Spanish (or eligibility to obtain one); experience teaching AP Spanish strongly preferred.

• Experience teaching heritage speakers, English Learners, or multilingual students in an urban setting.

• A collaborative, student-centered leader who believes every child can reach high standards.

• A school community that lives its values:
  Respect, Responsibility, Perseverance, and Excellence
  .
• A shared instructional framework (Skillful Teaching), co-teaching, and a strong culture of collaboration and professional growth.
