With a vibrant community of over 1100 students, ranging from as young as 18 months old through to graduation, our campus buzzes with a culture of innovation, creativity, collaboration, and state-of-the-art technology. Join us as we embark on a journey of lifelong learning and growth and discover why there's no place quite like Avenues São Paulo.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
The Avenues Language Learning Intensive (ALLI) is a program where a small team of colleagues works exclusively with a cohort of 6th-9th grade students. The program's mission is to sharpen and develop students' English reading, writing, and speaking skills through a project-based, interdisciplinary curriculum.
In this semester-long onboarding program, the ALLI Associate Teacher plays a key role in empowering language learners to find their voice and fully access the Avenues experience.
Key Responsibilities:
Interdisciplinary Co-Teaching: Partner closely with ALLI Teachers to design, enact, and refine projects that deepen student learning and connect language acquisition to real-world contexts.
Drive Learning Outcomes: Ensure students achieve key outcomes by targeting instruction to address individual needs.
Provide Targeted Support: Support students' linguistic needs across a range of ages and abilities using well-planned, evidence-based strategies.
Build Classroom Culture: Help create a joyful, supportive, and appropriately challenging learning environment.
Engage Families: Inspire trust and confidence among parents and families.
Immediate Start: We are looking for candidates who are ready to hit the ground running shortly after the interview process wraps up (estimated within 2 weeks). If you have immediate availability, we’d love to receive your application!
