Spanish Teacher – Cranbrook Kingswood Upper School
Cranbrook Kingswood Upper School is seeking an enthusiastic, creative, and innovative Spanish teacher who is able to teach all levels of Spanish. Collaboration within a dynamic World Languages department, creation of powerful learning experiences for a globally diverse student body, commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of adolescents through personal relationships, setting a positive tone, and treating students as individuals within the context of a broader community, are all critical components of this position.
This full-time member of the Upper School faculty teaches four sections of Spanish and contributes to a large extra-curricular program such as Athletics, Debate, or Robotics. Additionally, it is understood that the successful candidate has a demonstrated commitment to work in an extraordinarily diverse and inclusive community, and a willingness/openness to support an enriching residential program.
Cranbrook is a PK-12 school with a vibrant boarding component in grades 9-12, allowing the school to provide teachers with the opportunity to live and work on our architecturally famous 319-acre campus. The art and architecture that shape the campus are designed to complement the surrounding natural environment, making for a truly stunning campus. Often living and working in our residence halls, faculty engage students and support their development as members of a shared community. Eagerness to live among students, and to engage them in the evenings and on the weekends as a part of an exciting residential program, is considered significantly beneficial.
Founded by Detroit philanthropists George and Ellen Booth in 1904, Cranbrook Educational Community is one of the world’s leading centers of education, science, and art. Comprised of a graduate Academy of Art, contemporary Art Museum, Center for Collections and Research, House and Gardens, and other institutions, Cranbrook is a unique and inspiring place to work and learn.
