Mexico Teacher Position Open

Posted: Tue 21st May 2013 14:57 GMT   Add to My Jobs' FolderAdd to My Jobs' Folder
EFL Teacher
Santa Maria Educativa
Location Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico
Deadline --
Experience 1 year
Details
Institution: Our school is a non-profit regular school providing PreK-12 instruction in content areas (English, Spanish, math, science, etc.), accredited by the State of Sonora, Mexico. A major goal is to have English class (ESL PreK-12) taught by native speakers with TESL training and experience and/or Teacher training and experience.

Qualifications: Bachelor degree in Education or ESL Certification or Teacher Certification, teaching experience in regular school, master degree in education or ESL (desired).

Teaching Duties: Teachers are expected to work Monday to Friday, from 6:45 am to 3:00 pm. (class time, recess and students´ entrance and exit supervision, weekly class planning). Included in the time between 6:45 and 3:00 there is a weekly staff meeting and an individual weekly meeting with the academic coordinator. These meetings are where teachers and the academic coordinator have the opportunity to review lesson plans, test design, observations, student performance, and general school happenings. In addition to the regular school day, there is a monthly training session and several special events that the school holds throughout the school year where teachers are expected to participate (Christmas Play, Parents meetings, one sport event, etc.).
We ask for flexibility in our teachers, and at the same time strive to respect personal preferences, leaving open the possibilities for changes in classroom assignment according to the needs of the school. Generally, each English teacher teaches at 3 different grade levels at a time.
Teachers at our school are expected to participate actively and implement the discipline rules the school sets, inside and outside the classroom, working as a team with the rest of teachers and school officials.

Contract Period: Scholastic year contracts: August, 2013 – June, 2014.


Transportation: Transportation to the city of Guaymas is at the teacher’s expense. Guaymas has an international airport with flights to the U.S., and the city is a five-hour drive from the Arizona, USA border on a modern four-lane divided highway (foreign cars do not need special permit). Another (and maybe more affordable) option is to fly into Tucson or Phoenix, AZ and then take a bus into Guaymas. The city of Hermosillo, Sonora´s capital, is an hour drive from Guaymas, providing a very wide choice of national and international flights.


Location: Guaymas is a seaport of about 100,000 inhabitants on the Gulf of California, backed by the Sonoran desert. A few miles from Guaymas is the beautiful seaside resort of San Carlos, a fast-growing recreational area with beautiful cliffside homes and great recreational activities such as diving, snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, and water sports.
Many Americans and Canadians own homes in San Carlos due to its proximity to the border and its beauty. Because of its southerly latitude (mid-Florida) and location on the Gulf, summers are hot and winters are mild and sunny, with very warm water temperatures.

TO APPLY, SEND:

1) A detailed and current resume, with picture.
2) Three teaching references that include telephone and email contact, along with letters of reference.
3) A cover letter explaining your interest in this position and your qualifications.
