English Teaching Position

In the Rose Education Foundation schools, native English-speaking teachers work along side local English teachers. Their native accent and language ability provide a model for students and local teachers. Native English-speaking teachers form an essential part of the EFL program. Their teaching skills and native language ability provide the advantage that English programs in other schools in Guatemala lack.

Responsibilities

Attend a one-week intensive Spanish course in Guatemala before beginning work in the schools (for non-fluent Spanish speakers).
Work at the school from approximately 7:30 am until 3:00 pm Monday through Friday.
Assist regular teachers in 3 to 4 40-minute English classes per day, Monday through Friday, at one of the Foundation’s schools.
Help regular teachers prepare and teach English classes.
Cover English classes when regular teachers are absent.
Provide students with one-on-one and small group instruction during English classes.
Work with a variety of age groups and ability levels. Student ages range from 4 to 17 years old.
Participate actively in school activities (assemblies, field trips, after-school activities, etc.).
Help plan and execute an evening activity to showcase the English program and student English skills once a semester (usually in May and September).
Participate in training and other activities to improve English teaching.
Work with students, faculty, administration, and parents to improve the English program.
Be willing to use talents and abilities in the school and community as the need arises.

Time Commitment

Participation in the program must last for a minimum of 6 weeks between January 15th and October 15th (the Guatemalan school year)
