Job Description

The Sandpoint Waldorf School in Sandpoint, Idaho, is seeking a part-time Spanish Teacher to teach first through eighth grade. Sandpoint, Idaho (population 9,000) is located in a beautiful valley between two mountain ranges along scenic glacial Lake Pend Oreille. The school has served this community for 33 years and has a student population between 165 and 170 pre-kindergarten - eighth grade. We have an experienced faculty, and our programs, in addition to Spanish and Japanese include education support, movement, strings, music, handwork, and woodwork.

Spanish teacher works to introduce basic Spanish language and culture to all of our grades students, starting with a purely oral form through verses, songs, rhythms, poems, games, fairy tales and stories. Vocabulary goals start simply with numbers, colors, and items in the child’s everyday life along with common verbs and prepositions.

Vocabulary will expand throughout the grades with the goal of reading through writing more complex constructions. Grammar is introduced through active exercises, especially all regular and a few irregular verbs in present tense, and the use of prepositions, and adjectives. In the upper grades, the program continues to build on the students’ knowledge of basic sentence structure, vocabulary, and fluency through the use of dialogue. Vocabulary is also expanded by reading poems and stories appropriate to the students’ reading level.

Our Spanish program alternates with our Japanese program in eight-week blocks; for eight weeks the odd-numbered grades have Spanish while the even-numbered grades have Japanese and then they change for the next eight-week block. Thus, the Spanish Teacher is responsible for teaching four grades each for three 45-minute periods per week.

Compensation: $35 per 45-minute lesson (additional compensation for years of experience). $20/hour for meetings and prep time

 

Qualifications:

  • Spanish Language Education and Training: preference is given to native-speakers and those who can speak with an authentic accent
  • Teaching experience in classroom/group settings for elementary and/or middle school.
  • Willingness to learn about Waldorf education and incorporate Waldorf principles of child development into teaching.

Essential Job Functions:

  • Planning lessons and teaching classes
  • Working with students with a variety of learning styles and different levels of skill and ability
  • Attending Specialty Teacher meetings once per month and as scheduled for In-Service days. Attendance at the weekly Faculty Meeting is optional.
  • Attending parent teacher conferences
  • Attending evening parent meetings a few times per year to present aspects of the Spanish program as coordinated with the appropriate class teacher.
  • Writing student end-of-year reports.
