About the position

Teachers who want to change the world come to the Guidepost Academy! We are looking for an Online, Part-Time Spanish Teacher to join our middle and high school program that emphasizes history, humanism, and heroism in all things. This is a part-time position in our online program, allowing you to work from anywhere. Our Montessori approach promotes each student's individual agency, including open-ended, free work periods where students choose what to work on and work at their own pace. You will be joining a team of ambitious, creative, and inspiring educators in a fast-paced organization with opportunities for growth and development. In this role, you will work with GPA program experts to apply, individualize, and create a Spanish curriculum for your classroom. You will facilitate student progression through Spanish coursework by providing regular feedback and assessment, and by creating opportunities for students to apply their knowledge in interdisciplinary projects and real-world problems.
