Dear Teachers:
We all understand that we have other calls in life and we sometimes have to take absence from our jobs at the school. But, many of us have rarely missed a class for the past three years. It doesn’t mean we have never had needs to be absent; it means we have gone above and beyond to make it to the jobs at NCLS. Salute to all of us, we are a strong teaching force, and we are making another successful school year at NCLS.
The registration for the Fall has been under construction. There are some new classes being added in the Fall semester. The existing course listed with the new additions will be posted before the registration begins. You will see teachers names are on the list as-is for now, before the teaching assignments being finalized. Please stay tuned for the updates.
Following job description has been sent to us. If anyone is interested, please contact Nancy Louca at: nancyfu8@gmail.com
We are looking for Mandarin speaking teachers for a new Mandarin
Immersion Preschool in Brookline. We anticipate having full-time and
part-time positions available. Full-time positions are Mon-Fri, about
45 hours/wk (for example 9am-6pm) throughout the year. Part-time
positions will be about 30 hours/wk (for example 7am-1pm). Salary
will be highly competitive ($12-15/hr, based on experience) for the
Boston area.
Our philosophy is that young children learn best through interactive
experience and immersion. Children will not be expected to do rote
memorization as was the traditional Chinese method, but instead
through full immersion with Chinese speaking teachers we believe they
will pick up the language and culture naturally because it is their
instinct. We want to create a personal, creative, safe and nurturing
environment in which children, guided and encouraged by their
teachers, can delight in growing and learning. Our goal is to help
develop responsible, self-confident, healthy, happy, and successful
children.
Teachers should be certified by the Department of Early Education and
Care as Teachers or Lead Teachers. The state licensing qualifications
are as follows:
TEACHER:
3 credits in Child Development
9 months of work experience in a Child Care program.
LEAD TEACHER (Teacher requirements plus):
9 credits in Early Childhood Education
36 months of experience if you have a High School diploma.
27 months of experience if you have a Certificate.
18 months of experience if you have an Associate degree.
9 months of experience if you have a Bachelor degree.
More importantly, teachers should have a joy for teaching young
children and a desire to spread an appreciation for Chinese culture
and language to children of all backgrounds.
Wish you a nice rest of the week. Look forward to seeing you on Sunday!Regards,
Yongqi and Nan
