What are the responsibilities and job description for the High School French Teacher position at KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools?
Job Description
KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools seeks to expand the world language program at our high school in the 2025-2026 school year by adding additional Spanish teachers to our team. Spanish teachers instruct students across multiple grade levels and/or sections, and ideally run a club or enrichment block.
We seek a teacher who will be committed to providing quality world language instruction that sets students up for college access and as such, the Spanish teacher would ensure students are both exposed to Spanish and can meet the state's minimum world language requirements for admission into Florida's state university system.
This position would work closely with the electives department. Teachers are responsible for creating a positive classroom environment, implementing curriculum, assessing students, collaborating with their team, building relationships with families, and other duties as assigned. Full teacher responsibilities are ultimately outlined by their school leader.
Please note the location of Bold City High School is the McDuff campus located at 1440 McDuff Avenue North.
OUR CURRENT MODEL
The model for the high school will change over time as we enroll more students. Core content areas at the high school level include science, history, ELA, and math. High school lead teachers will likely have a homeroom class and teach several classes in their subject area. While this is a typical teaching load, some teaching loads may vary. Every student will be required to take two credits of the same world language course.
Compensation And Benefits
Our current compensation and benefits structure is very competitive and is commensurate with experience.
