GERMAN CLASSROOM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER NEEDED - GOETHE INTERNATIONAL CHARTER SCHOOL, in Los Angeles, CA, 90066 for school year 2013/2014
HISTORICAL OVERVIEW: The Goethe International Charter School (GICS) is a
start-up charter school serving about 320 students during its 4th year of
operation in grades Kindergarten through 5th. The educational model is
based on two critical components; Second Language Acquisition (German as the
target language) and International Baccalaureate Primary Year Program.
The school is offering a site-based foreign language immersion program
(English/German) where 50% of the instruction will occur in German and 50 %
in English. All subject content will be taught in both languages; however
each teacher will teach in either English or German—not both languages. In
addition, the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IBPYP)
will be developed and implemented to provide students with an international
education.
