ACLS is Hiring Culture Teachers

 

The Acton Chinese Language School (ACLS) is currently accepting applications for culture program teachers. Traditionally, ACLS has Art Group, Fitness Group, Music, Instrument and Chess Group and Academic Group. Please refer to the ACLS website for current culture programs at ACLS.

ACLS culture programs provide a variety of classes for school age children and adults. The main purpose for the culture program is to promote community participation, education, and leadership, to foster cultural exchange and awareness. Through these culture classes, we hope to enrich the life of the ACLS community and to bring Chinese culture to the community. Our classes vary from Taiji to Ping Pong, from Debate to Python, from Chinese language for Adults to painting and Digital Art. 

 

We’re looking to hire teachers who have talents related to Chinese culture or talents that will enrich our ACLS community. For example, we need teachers in academic areas who can teach k-12 math or math counts, AP level physics or Chemistry. We need teachers who can teach dance or fitness classes. We need art teachers who can teach painting or arts and crafts. We need teachers in music instruments, chess and GO. If you believe you have something to teach, we may make it into a class.

 

ACLS runs every Sunday after from 2pm to 5pm except holidays. We follow the Boston area K-12 school calendar. Following MA Covid guidelines and putting the safety of our teachers and students first, ACLS is hoping to have in person classes in the Fall.. Online Zoom classes may be suitable for some classes if the teacher feels it’s better to teach online. ACLS will announce the Fall semester decision later in the summer.

  • Speak English and Mandarin Chinese
  • Classroom management
  • Ability to collaborate with other faculty on curriculum
