Chinese American International School seeks an Mandarin World Language Pathway Teacher (6th-8th Grade) Exempt, full-time position
Date: 02/05/23
Description: OPPORTUNITY Founded in 1981, Chinese American International School (CAIS) is the nation’s first Mandarin immersion day school. For more than four decades, CAIS has been educating students through Mandarin immersion pedagogy to embrace Chinese, become their best selves, and contribute to a better world. In December of 2022, the CAIS Board of Trustees approved the creation of an exciting new middle school program, the Mandarin World Language Pathway. This program will open the opportunity for middle school students who have little or no Mandarin background to enter CAIS and learn Mandarin. Mandarin World Language Pathway students will have intensive, individualized, small group or one-on-one instruction for 80 minutes a day. During the remainder of the school day, they will join their immersion classmates for classes taught in English. We intend to meet World Language Pathway students where they are and establish learning goals that are aligned with ACTFL proficiency guidelines. It is our vision and our expectation that these students will graduate from CAIS and enter high school with significantly higher levels of Mandarin proficiency than students from other elementary and middle schools that offer Mandarin classes. We are searching for an experienced, hard- working, flexible, creative, and collaborative candidate to serve as our school’s first Mandarin World Language Pathway teacher.
