Ransom Everglades School is seeking applications for a full time, Middle School Spanish teacher beginning in August 2021. This faculty member will contribute to the development and implementation of our unique Spanish language curriculum. At Ransom Everglades, all middle school students study Spanish in our proficiency-based program offering six levels of Spanish to challenge students of all backgrounds and abilities in Spanish. Students at the highest level of the middle school Spanish program complete the AP Spanish Language and Culture curriculum and exam. Our vision is that all students will attain and demonstrate a level of proficiency after three or more years of studying Spanish, and that many students will study another language (Chinese, French or Portuguese) in the upper school. Thus, many students will graduate from Ransom Everglades able to communicate comfortably and effectively in three languages: English, Spanish, and a third language. 

Faculty members contribute to the department’s work developing curriculum and pedagogy and school-wide conversations about interdisciplinary and project-based learning, innovative assessment, and the creative integration of technology in teaching and learning. Candidates should be comfortable with the school’s value for inquiry-based, student-centered learning, emphasis on global perspectives, and ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Ransom Everglades faculty members are expected to participate in department meetings, student activities, and otherwise be engaged in the life of the school. The search committee will look especially favorably on candidates who are enthusiastic about taking advantage of Miami’s multicultural community and helping the school develop additional experiential and applied learning opportunities in world languages for students.
