Thank you for your interest in joining the team at Global Learning Charter Public School. We are seeking talented individuals who are adept at understanding and adapting to students from many different backgrounds with varied and unique learning needs.
At GLCPS, the most important quality that all of our team members possess is a genuine love and respect for children and a desire to help each one of our students succeed. We value collaboration, communication, creative thinking, critical thinking, and cultural awareness. We are a relatively small (500 students), urban school district with a diverse student body. Our teachers and support staff meet students and families where they are and start from there.
We take a team approach to ensuring that each of our students reaches their full academic potential and learns 21st century skills, such as technology literacy, communication, global citizenship, and arts exploration. We recognize the importance of addressing our students' social and emotional needs alongside academic and skills growth.
Global Learning Charter Public School is seeking a high-performing ELD Teacher to join the English Learner Education (ELE) team. The ELD Teacher will be responsible for providing English language development instruction in a self-contained classroom as well as push-in language development in other content area classes.
The ELE team has developed and adopted these elements to guide our work.
ELE Mission:
The ELE department at GLCPS facilitates students' success here in our global learning community and beyond by developing their academic language proficiency.
ELE Vision:
A shared understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the ELD teacher is visible throughout the school. There is also an understanding that all students are academic language learners. Consequently, the need for regular and structured collaboration is necessary in order for students to effectively develop their agency as critical producers and consumers of language. Additionally, we are dedicated to advocating for our families, supporting positive change in our community, and contributing to a school culture of professionalism, high academic standards, and social justice standards.
