Spanish Dual Language PreK Teacher

About the Program

Lynn Public Schools seeks a passionate Spanish Dual Language Pre-Kindergarten teacher to join the Compañeros Spanish-English One-Way Dual Language Program. This role is dedicated to developing bilingualism and biliteracy, building socio-cultural competence, and transforming educational outcomes for all students.

In this 90%-10% model, students spend 90% of their day learning all content areas—including Spanish language arts, math, social studies, and science—in Spanish. Teachers utilize all four language domains (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) while integrating cultural traditions, customs, and history from the Spanish-speaking world in developmentally appropriate ways.

The district is committed to supporting each team of teachers with appropriate professional development, curriculum, resources, and strategy implementation. Lynn Public Schools strives for the success of all students by focusing on core values of collaborative relationships, high expectations, inclusiveness, inspiring life-long learning, and shared responsibility.

The Role

As a Pre-K teacher, you will create a positive, language-rich, asset-based, and multicultural learning environment conducive to the success of all students. You will teach literacy, Spanish language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science using district curriculum maps and reflecting a deep understanding of state curriculum frameworks.

Your day involves thoughtfully planning lessons with a grade-level partner to implement specific strategies that meet the needs of all students while fostering cultural understanding, social growth, and language acquisition. You will administer language and literacy assessments, analyze student data to inform planning, and develop targeted instruction. As a vested member of the dual language team, you will collaborate on issues related to dual language philosophy, programs, and approaches, participating actively in building-based and department staff meetings.

Hiring Process

An offer of employment is contingent upon the successful completion of a pre-employment physical, including a drug test, National fingerprint-based Criminal Background Check (NCBC), and Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI).

The district is committed to inclusivity regardless of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, color, national origin, creed, religion, ethnicity, ancestry, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local laws. This includes protections under Title VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The district explicitly recognizes that race includes traits historically associated with race, such as hair texture, hair type, and protective hairstyles.
