TK-8th Spanish Teacher
Crestmont School - Richmond
We’re looking for a warm, passionate, and culturally engaged Spanish teacher to join our community and bring language learning to life across our TK–8th grade program. This is a role for someone who understands that language is culture — and that teaching Spanish is an opportunity to open children’s hearts and minds to the world beyond their own experience.
You’ll work with students across a range of ages and abilities, adapting your approach to meet each learner where they are — whether through song, movement, storytelling, or hands-on play. You’ll collaborate closely with classroom teachers, integrate social justice themes into your curriculum, and contribute to the vibrant, caring community that makes Crestmont special.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Teach Spanish to students across TK–8th grade, designing engaging, age-appropriate lessons that connect language to culture, community, and the wider world using our adopted curriculum as the foundation
Integrate music, movement, and play into Spanish instruction — using songs, rhythm, and physical activity to build vocabulary, pronunciation, and a love of language, especially for our youngest learners
Create a joyful, inclusive classroom environment where all students feel safe, seen, and encouraged to take risks as language learners
Integrate Crestmont’s social justice curriculum into Spanish instruction — exploring themes of fairness, identity, cultural pride, and equity through language and storytelling
Differentiate instruction to meet the diverse needs, learning styles, and language levels of students across grade levels — including students with learning differences
Collaborate with classroom teachers and staff to create meaningful cross-curricular connections between Spanish and core subjects
Communicate openly and warmly with families in the spirit of our co-op community, sharing student progress and celebrating growth
Participate in school-wide events, traditions, and community gatherings that are a beloved part of the Crestmont experience
Bring curiosity, creativity, and a genuine love of language and culture to every interaction with students.
