Ensworth is now accepting applications for a Middle School Latin Teacher for the 2022-23 school year. This position’s primary focus is on our 6th grade introductory Latin class which all 6th graders take as their world language. This course intentionally focuses on the development of each student’s ability to explore and to draw conclusions about the structure of language. Students will examine and analyze the broad spectrum of “language,” while focusing on “how” to learn a different language. This process will enhance their ability to be successful learners and risk-takers in any language class. Topics covered include grammar concepts, spelling, word order, singular and plural, verb conjugation, declension, vocabulary acquisition, negatives, interrogatives, and the existence of exceptions in Latin. Additionally, the class is designed to align thematically with skills and concepts embedded in the 6th grade Language Arts and History curricula and the work of those colleagues.
Candidates must also be prepared to teach Level I Latin over the course of students’ 7th and 8th grade years, preparing them for Latin II at Ensworth High School.
