Position:
Extended Learning Teacher
Supervisor: Extended Learning Coordinator
Start Date: Rolling Basis 2026
Application Deadline: Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis through July 2026. However, the position may be closed prior to that date if a qualifiedcandidate is hired.
The Opportunity: We are seeking an Extended Learning Teacher with experience in early childhood education to teach and support students in our before care and after school programming for our students at Global Citizens Public Charter School (Global Citizens PCS). Global Citizens PCS is the first dual language immersion elementary school in Washington, DC, to offer language immersion in both Mandarin Chinese and Spanish pathways - exposing students to the top three languages spoken in the world. Paired with a focus on social justice and whole child wellness, Global Citizens PCS equips children to become empathetic, globally competent, and socially-minded leaders who are prepared for a future we cannot yet imagine. Global Citizens PCS opened in Ward 7 to provide children and their families living east of the Anacostia River with equitable access to dual language immersion programs. This position offers an incredible opportunity to work alongside a founding team, within an entrepreneurial and collaborative environment focused on improving educational opportunities for all students, especially those who are most marginalized and undervalued.
Mission: The mission of Global Citizens PCS is to inspire and prepare the next generation of global citizens. We will do this by supporting students, ages 3-11, to reach their full academic and leadership potential in a nurturing learning environment. We will immerse them in the Mandarin and Spanish languages, and equip them with the knowledge, skills, and mindsets they need to contribute to a better world.
Vision: We envision academic excellence, language acquisition, and authentic inclusion of a diverse student population. We will build a strong community of learners who are confident in their ability to communicate in the Chinese, Spanish, and English languages. Our children will use language to liberate and advocate for themselves and those most marginalized. All of our children will develop a sense of self and a sense of belonging, build empathy and emotional resilience, learn to understand and appreciate diverse perspectives, and challenge themselves to take action to improve the world.
Philosophy: We believe that all cultures have richness and value, deserve respect and consideration, and do not belong to a hierarchy. At Global Citizens PCS, we will continually examine our teaching and curricula to ensure we incorporate multiple perspectives from diverse cultural backgrounds and life experiences, including the experiences of our students, families, communities, and staff. We will create an environment in which all students will yearn for intercultural connections and see their benefits.
