G3 Homeroom Teacher - Gwanggyo

Saint Paul American Scholars (SPAS) is a growing K-12 educational district committed to fostering responsible citizenship and preparing students for their future educational endeavors. This mission includes instilling vital ethical qualities such as courage, compassion, integrity, justice, truth, reasoning, fairness, respect, and honesty, alongside a rigorous academic curriculum.

A successful school environment is characterized by exceptional instruction from educators and positive learning outcomes for students. This requires a safe setting for everyone within SPAS, coupled with a strong emphasis on citizenship and equitable enforcement of rules throughout the Saint Paul Scholars community. We acknowledge the crucial role of parental engagement in the educational process and hold them responsible for their children's academic achievements and conduct.

SPAS is on the lookout for educators who perceive their role as extending beyond traditional teaching. The ideal candidates are those who are eager to explore innovative methods to support struggling students, challenge high achievers, and comprehend the factors influencing student performance. True educators are motivated by a dedication to ensure that students not only cope but genuinely excel. Collaboration with fellow teachers and community partners to foster student development is vital.

Educators understand that teaching encompasses more than just assigning, collecting, and grading work. If you align with this perspective, we would love to hear from you.

At SPAS, we hold the belief that every teacher is an ELL instructor. All classes are designed to promote English language acquisition, regardless of the subject. The Lower ELL Teacher has the specific duty of addressing learning gaps within the grade. This teacher will conduct four classes each week for their assigned grade levels to reteach, review, and build upon previous lessons, ultimately aiming to close these gaps and assist students in reaching grade-level proficiency.
