Job Description
UNIDOS Portuguese-English Dual Language Immersion Program
Brockton Public Schools seeks Portuguese-speaking teachers for elementary grades who are prepared to teach, committed and passionate about a language approach to language acquisition and transforming and improving education outcomes for students.
Teachers are part of a two-person team in a successful 50%-50% model where students spend half of the day with their English-side teacher and part of their day with the Portuguese teacher in all content areas (language arts, math, social studies and science) and using all four domains (reading, writing, speaking and listening). Teachers integrate cultural components to enhance the experience of children in learning about the Lusophone traditions, customs, and history in appropriately developmental ways for the grade levels.
We are committed to supporting each team of teachers with the appropriate curriculum, resources and strategy implementation for dual language programming as well as the assistance of coaching. The Brockton Public Schools and Bilingual Department continue to strive for success for all students and continue the tradition of leadership in bilingual education.
