This position is for a part‑time EL teacher who will design and implement language instruction and intervention for students who are identified as English Learners (EL). The EL teacher will provide support to EL students in their classrooms and in the content areas. The EL teacher will develop individualized educational plans for each EL student and deliver group and individual instruction within established curriculum guidelines in all content areas.
