K-5th Grade English Paraprofessional
Job Summary
The International Charter School of Atlanta (ICSAtlanta) is a state charter school focusing on language immersion, enrolling students from across Georgia, who learn grade-level content in both English and one of our four language tracks – French, German, Spanish, or Mandarin.
ICSAtlanta seeks a qualified and passionate paraprofessional to support the lead teacher in an English Language Arts classroom. As a school that embraces international discovery and cultural competency, the ideal teacher will actively develop a multicultural learning environment and have a passion for language immersion education.
The curriculum at ICSAtlanta is based on current Georgia education standards with each student receiving instruction in English (L1) and one additional target language known as L2. As a result, teachers work collaboratively in teams of two to ensure that students learn all required standards. A student’s exposure to each language will vary based on grade level. For example, students studying French at the Kindergarten and 1st-grade level will receive 80% of classroom instruction time in French and 20% in English.
