Mount View Elementary School is seeking a 2nd Grade Dual Language Teacher to join our team of educators for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year!
PLEASE NOTE: While our primary goal is to hire a standalone 2nd grade Dual Language (Spanish) teacher for this position, if a qualified candidate is not identified, the applicant pool may be rescreened for English-only 2nd grade Dual Language Teacher candidates.
SUMMARY: Dual Language Teachers work in an exciting 50:50 dual language program model. In this program students are immersed in the partner language (Spanish, Vietnamese, etc...) for 50% of the day, and English for 50% of the day. At the elementary grade level, this can be both a two-classroom model or a single classroom model.
At the secondary grade level, the teacher for this position will use a specific Partner Language (Spanish, Vietnamese, etc�) for at least one period a day. Like all teachers, the teacher in this position will help students learn skills and develop attitudes and appreciations that will lead them toward the fulfillment of the District's goals of education.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:Current Washington State Teacher's certificate with appropriate subject area endorsement(s) and native or native-like proficiency in oral and academic World Language and English.
- ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: Pass ACTFL language proficiency test in the specified World Language with Advanced Low or higher score, criminal background clearance and all certificates, licenses, endorsements, permits, and vaccines (absent exemption) as required for this position by state and local authorities.
