EL/Bilingual Teacher

EL/Bilingual Teacher at Tower Rock Elementary School

Tower Rock, a beautiful elementary school situated in the bluffs outside of Sauk Prairie, is seeking an EL / bilingual teacher. Through innovative curriculum, the school infuses agriculture, Spanish, and the arts, all while meeting Common Core State Standards. This new building, together with a dynamic staff, serves students from varying backgrounds. The ideal candidate is a Spanish/English bilingual teacher, who is a gifted communicator and enjoys collaborating with colleagues. Primary responsibilities include teaching language and content in both small group and whole group settings. Candidates must hold or be working to obtain appropriate licensure. Bilingual Spanish/English candidates are encouraged to apply.

It appears that Tower Rock has multiple positions open, however, it does not. Because of the diverse licensure of the current staff, we are seeking one person, who would be the right fit, knowing that our current staff is able to shift positions if the right candidate had a different licensure. If you are interested in joining the Tower Rock teaching team, please call Kelly Petrowski at (608) 643-1997, or apply for the position that matches your licensure.

Successful candidates will bring the following qualities and attributes:

• An understanding of how to implement CCSS through a student-centered, collaborative environment.
• A willingness to teach both whole group lessons as well as small group, targeted instruction.
• An inclusive philosophy that embraces 21st century skills with the ability to communicate with all stakeholders and a dedication to building lasting relationships with students, staff, families, and the community.
• An understanding of current best practices for working with ELLs, including how to teach language in the context of the content being taught.
• Proficiency with using culturally relevant practices
• Support all students through differentiated instruction.
• Contribute to RtI time by meeting regularly with staff.
• Trust builder with students, staff, parents, and the community.
• Currently, or able to be, licensed by Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction with an ESL License 1395 as well as Bilingual/Bicultural Education License 1023. Preferred candidates would also hold a Regular Education License 1777.
