Job Description

Innovation Academy Charter School seeks a middle school Spanish teacher. Situated in Tyngsboro, MA (near the intersection of routes 3 and 495), IACS draws a diverse student body as a regional public charter school, including Lowell, Dracut, and Chelmsford, as well as Tyngsboro.


IACS seeks to serve all students within an academically rigorous and culturally responsive community of learners. Our school aims to engage students in practical applications of their learning and support students to become critical thinkers, collaborative problem-solvers, and self-directed learners. We are a close knit community, committed to building strong relationships with students through our advisory program.


The Spanish program is a proficiency-based program that immerses the students in the language from the first day. Students are expected to participate and stay in the target language 100% of the time while in class. By immersing themselves in Spanish, students begin to learn the natural way and are encouraged to speak as often as possible, embracing errors as an expected part of learning a language. Teachers provide comprehensible input, scaffolded activities, games, music, physical activity, guided readings and community building activities to create an error-tolerant environment for students to learn to take safe risks with the target language. Spanish teachers at IACS use the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines to guide a largely teacher-prepared curriculum that supports student growth in the target language.

Successful candidates will be passionate learners and collaborators who are committed to the school’s mission and invested in the academic and social-emotional learning of all students. IACS has a strong mentoring program for teachers new to the school and those new to teaching, including career changers. We welcome candidates who are committed to their own professional learning, open to feedback, and committed to collaboration.


IACS is working hard to hire staff that represent the backgrounds and cultures of all of our students. Please note that the school has access to state grant funding designed to encourage diversity among our new hires. We strongly encourage candidates to celebrate their diversity and to inquire about the grant funded programs.
