The Wesley School, established in 1999, is a co-ed K-8 independent day school in North Hollywood. Nurturing a community of belonging is at the core of everything we do. By intentionally centering the relational aspect of teaching and learning, our educators provide students with the confidence that can only be created through being known, appreciated, and included.
Having been inspired by these exemplary teachers, Wesley students approach all activities with optimism as well as with an understanding of their role to actively take part in shaping their experience, and those around them, with compassion, confidence, and creativity. The essence of Wesley, like most truly special things in life, must be felt to experience the warmth and welcome we have to offer.
The Middle School World Language Electives Teacher reports directly to the 6-8 Program Head. The responsibilities of this role include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Developing World Language courses and programming for middle school students (grades 6-8) as part of our electives block in the afternoon, with the potential to include after-school and/or summer components.
- Oversee all aspects of training and instruction of students in their courses. Develop curriculum and programming that aligns with the School’s mission and philosophy, and its explicit goals around Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). Be responsive to students’ needs as determined by our student population.
- Be a collaborative and engaged member of your team(s), as well as the wider K-8 community.
- Communicate professionally and proactively with colleagues (internal and external), administration, students, and families.
- Be an engaged member of the wider Wesley community and enhance the life of the School through contributions to school-wide programs, extracurriculars, events, and more, as needed.
