Job Description

We are a private elementary school now hiring a part-time French teacher to provide on-site French instruction to elementary school students from preschool to Grade 6. The school provides hybrid learning and all classes are equipped to support both in-person and online synchronous learners. Class sizes are approximately 8-12 students, with most students participating in-person. We offer a combination of traditional project-based and individual approaches for all subjects, including French. Materials and training are provided and the teacher may need to provide supplementary online or other resources to ensure individual student needs are met. The French teacher position will start in May for the current academic year, continue into the summer months of July and August for the summer school program, and the fixed-term contract will continue into the next academic year, from September 2022 to June 2023.

- Provide in-person instruction to build strong written and verbal French skills, communicating in both French and English for English student learners.
- Provide in-person instruction to support hybrid learning, with the flexibility to switch to online instruction if / when requested.
- Provide regular testing to ensure students demonstrate proficiency for their grade level, as outlined in the Ontario curriculum, and continue to provide enrichment for grade-level learning.
- Provide individualised learning within each grade for students when necessary.
- Prepare report cards and conduct parent-teacher interviews.
- Prepare students to demonstrate grade-level proficiency in French through performances for spring and Christmas concerts.
- Demonstrate strong teaching skills through communication, patience, understanding, approachability, and excellent rapport with students.

Screening requirements:

- Must be currently eligible to work in Canada.
- Must be in close proximity to the school for in-person instruction.
