Job description

Faculty: Spanish Language Teacher (Grades 7-12)

Saint John’s High School is seeking a full-time or part-time Spanish teacher with flexibility for teaching Grades 7-12. The candidate should have a strong background in their subject matter (Spanish Language), demonstrated pedagogical skills, and a commitment to understanding how adolescent boys learn. We are open to candidates who can teach other World Languages and/or academic disciplines in addition to having expertise in Spanish. Saint John’s values diversity, and we look for candidates who are knowledgeable in their field, as well as compassionate, dedicated, and eager to collaborate with students, faculty, and staff alike.

The ideal candidate will guide our students as they develop their understanding of the grammatical structures and vocabulary of the Spanish Language, as well as their ability to speak, read, and write Spanish. World language instructors at Saint John’s also impart an understanding of different cultures as part of a call to better understand an increasingly global world. The teacher will be responsible for the implementation of curricula, designing assessments that measure student progress and achievement, using assessment data to inform instructional practices, and participating in collaborative activities. They will view World Language classes as opportunities to develop curiosity and empathy in their students for different cultures and those who speak a different language from themselves. In addition to regular classroom duties, the selected candidate should have a desire to contribute to the school community by sharing their passions through extracurricular activities such as coaching teams, directing clubs, or supervising student activities.

Minimum Qualifications

• An undergraduate degree in Spanish Language or a related field.
• Experience teaching at the middle school or high school level, or relevant professional experience.
• Fluency with the Spanish language and with current discipline-specific pedagogy.
• Dedication to supporting the academic, social, and emotional well‑being of all students.
• Strong interpersonal skills.
• Ability to articulate effectively the values and mission of Saint John’s High School and the Xaverian Brothers.
• Commitment to Catholic education.
• Knowledge of contemporary educational issues, topics, and trends, especially those impacting boys and young men.
• Enthusiasm for working with middle and high school students.
• Dedication to partnering collaboratively with a team of talented faculty.
• Ability to work in a fast‑paced environment.
• Skill in navigating the Google Suite of applications (Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, etc.).
• Experience with incorporating educational technology into the classroom.
• Commitment to including and encouraging all students from all backgrounds.
