One of our points of pride in Avoca District 37 is the diversity of our students and parent community. Our reputation for providing support for our Multilingual Learners is well known on the North Shore and is a draw for families looking to relocate into the academically strong New Trier Township. The unique diversity in language and cultures at Marie Murphy sets us apart from the rest, and we are eager and excited to welcome another team member who can find that same joy in our setting!
The Multilingual Learner (ML) team provides instruction to multilingual students with varying levels of English proficiency, and supports a wide variety of learners in the acquisition of academic vocabulary and listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. As a member of the Student Services team, our ML teachers collaborate closely with general educators and other professionals to provide instruction to students through co-teaching, push-in, and pull-out service delivery models. The ML teacher reflects a high degree of professionalism through sensitivity to cultural backgrounds, individual learning differences, and flexible service delivery.
Compensation is commensurate with education and years of experience. A valid Illinois teaching certification with an EL/ML endorsement is required.
All applications must be submitted online through Avoca's Employment webpage.
We look forward to welcoming someone on board to support our Marie Murphy Vikings!
