Build a world language program as diverse as our students:

Collegiate Charter School of Lowell (CCSL) is a K-12 Commonwealth Charter School serving about 1,200 students in one of Massachusetts' most linguistically rich cities. Roughly 40% of our students are English Learners, and our hallways carry Spanish, Khmer, Portuguese, Arabic, and many more languages. We see those languages as an academic asset, and we are looking for a leader who agrees.

We are seeking a K-12 World Language Coordinator who will lead our program across all three of our schools (K-4, 5-8, and 9-12) and teach one section of AP Spanish each day . This is a rare chance to shape a program's vision, not just maintain it.

The vision

• Deepen Spanish instruction from kindergarten through AP, with a clear, coherent proficiency pathway.
• Expand students' exposure to additional world languages through exploratory courses, clubs, and cultural programming.
• Honor and build on heritage languages, including pathways toward the Massachusetts Seal of Biliteracy.
• Turn our diversity into academic enrichment that every student, family, and staff member experiences.

What you will do

• Teach AP Spanish Language and Culture, one class per day.
• Lead K-12 curriculum alignment, pacing, assessment, and proficiency-based instruction.
• Coach and support 4 world language teachers across all grade bands.
• Design new language offerings and enrichment, from K-4 exposure to high school electives and heritage-speaker courses.
• Partner with our English Learner, special education, and counseling teams so every student can access world language learning.
• Organize schoolwide events that celebrate our community's languages and cultures.
• Use data to track student growth, enrollment in advanced pathways, and AP outcomes.

What we are looking for

• Massachusetts license in Spanish (or eligibility to obtain one); experience teaching AP Spanish strongly preferred.
• Proficiency in Spanish at the Advanced-High level or above (ACTFL).
• Three or more years of classroom teaching experience; experience coaching or leading a department preferred.
• Experience teaching heritage speakers, English Learners, or multilingual students in an urban setting.
• Knowledge of the ACTFL proficiency guidelines and the Massachusetts World Language Curriculum Framework.
• Fluency in an additional language is a plus.
• A collaborative, student-centered leader who believes every child can reach high standards.

Why CCSL

• A school community that lives its values: Respect, Responsibility, Perseverance, and Excellence.
• A shared instructional framework (Skillful Teaching), co-teaching, and a strong culture of collaboration and professional growth.
• Real leadership opportunity with a school leadership team committed to growing every program.
• Competitive Benefits and Salary; participation in the MA Teachers Retirement System
• Salary Range: $85-95,000 per year
