Announcing THREE NEW GERMAN POSITIONS in Burke County, NC, as part of a county-wide program to enhance foreign language learning in grades K-12.
Teachers will be based at a county middle school and teach exploratory German (grade 6), and articulated level 1A/1B (grades 7-8) initially; more levels/ages later on. Teachers will also work in conjunction with feeder elementary schools to build enrollment for German by traveling via the "Art-FL" bus, a rotating art/foreign language bus, that brings German, French, and art instruction to elementary schools.
Due to federal support for this program (FLAP grant=Foreign Language Assistance Program, US Dept. of Education) these positions have lots of benefits for teachers!
