We are searching for secondary English language arts teachers who can teach literature and build writing skills in students from G7 to G12. Such a teacher must be able to teach multigrade classes and differentiate for student needs. Most of our students are fluent English speakers, but we have students who come to the school with little to no English. Those students take ESOL classes but the English Language Arts Teacher is also expected to adjust for their level of English and integrate these students into their English classes.
