Early Childhood English Lead Teacher

2 months ago

Washington, United States Global Citizens Public Charter School Full time
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionSalary: $60K to $80K

Position:  Early Childhood English Lead Teacher (Pre-K3 and Pre-K4)

Supervisor:  Founding Director of Teaching & Learning

Start Date:  August 2023

Application Deadline:  Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis through June 30,2023.  However, the position may be closed prior to that date if a qualified candidate is hired.  


The Opportunity:  We are seeking lead teachers with experience in early childhood education to provide instruction in either Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, or English at Global Citizens Public Charter School (Global Citizens PCS), for the 2023-2024 school year.  Global Citizens PCS is the first dual language immersion elementary school in Washington, DC, to offer language immersion in both Mandarin Chinese and Spanish pathways - exposing students to the top three languages spoken in the world.  Paired with a focus on social justice and whole child wellness, Global Citizens PCS equips children to become empathetic, globally competent, and socially-minded leaders who are prepared for a future we cannot yet imagine.  Global Citizens PCS opened in Ward 7 to provide children and their families living east of the Anacostia River with equitable access to dual language immersion programs.  This position offers an incredible opportunity to work alongside a founding team, within an entrepreneurial and collaborative environment focused on improving educational opportunities for all students, especially those who are most marginalized and undervalued.


Mission:  The mission of Global Citizens PCS is to inspire and prepare the next generation of global citizens.  We will do this by supporting students, ages 3-11, to reach their full academic and leadership potential in a nurturing learning environment.  We will immerse them in the Mandarin and Spanish languages, promote the value of diversity, and equip them with the knowledge, skills, and mindsets they need to contribute to a better world. 


Vision:  We envision academic excellence, language acquisition, and authentic inclusion of a diverse student population.  We will build a strong community of learners who are confident in their ability to communicate in the Chinese, Spanish, and English languages.  Our children will use language to liberate and advocate for themselves and those most marginalized.  All of our children will develop a sense of self and a sense of belonging, build empathy and emotional resilience, learn to understand and appreciate diverse perspectives, and challenge themselves to take action to improve the world.


Philosophy:  We believe that all cultures have richness and value, deserve respect and consideration, and do not belong to a hierarchy.  We are aware of white supremacy culture and the systemic oppression that exists – even in the current education system.  At Global Citizens PCS, we will critically examine our biases and then actively work on counteracting these biases and disrupting the dominant narrative.  We will continually examine our teaching and curricula to ensure we incorporate multiple perspectives from diverse cultural backgrounds and life experiences, including the experiences of our students, families, communities, and staff.  We will create an environment in which all students will yearn for intercultural connections and see their benefits.


Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are our core values and central to our learning, development, and growth:


  • Diversity:  All children, of all backgrounds, learning abilities, and physical capacities, will thrive and contribute to a positive, inclusive, and supportive learning community.
  • Equity:  All children are capable of reaching high levels of academic excellence and whole child wellness.  Thus, all children will have the opportunity to gain fluency in more than one language/culture and learn from and with each other.  All children will be held to high expectations – ensuring equally high outcomes for all and removing the predictability of success or failure that currently correlates with social, cultural, or socio-economic factors.
  • Inclusion:  We will live our core value of diversity by creating an environment of connection, belonging, empowerment, and respect – where the richness of different ideas, backgrounds, and perspectives are harnessed to create value.


The core values live in our Global Citizens PCS educational model through four key pillars:  Globally Competent Bilingualism, Academic Excellence, Social Justice, and Whole Child Wellness.
