Teacher Middle School Spanish (immediate opening)
Job Description
St. Elizabeth’s School has an immediate opening for a part-time Middle School Spanish teacher. As an integral part of St. Elizabeth’s mission, the Middle School Spanish teacher fosters students’ cultural understanding, literacy, and understanding by teaching three sections (6th, 7th, 8th) of Middle School Spanish three times a week, preferably Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. With planning time, this position is approximately 16 hours per week.
As a culturally responsive educator, the Middle School Spanish teacher helps students develop the listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills to interpret the array of cultures and to interact meaningfully and respectfully with native Spanish speakers and authentic texts. This position requires fluency in Spanish, strong instructional skills, and a deep commitment to equity in education. All teachers at St. Elizabeth’s are expected to uphold the mission and core values of the school.
St. Elizabeth’s School is a K–8 Episcopal school in Denver founded on the principles of equity, belonging, and excellence, and that a family’s current financial circumstances should not dictate a child’s future. Diversity is not only a strength at St. Elizabeth’s (over 50% of our faculty and staff and students identify as People of Color), it is central to our teaching. We believe myriad voices, experiences, and perspectives enable cross-cultural communication, empathy, and deep learning. Teaching at St. Elizabeth’s requires a BA or equivalent, and an MA is preferred.
