Job Description:

ELL Coordinator / English Language Development (ELD) Teacher (K–12)

Prescott Valley Charter School | Arizona

POSITION SUMMARY

Prescott Valley Charter School is seeking a highly skilled, mission-driven ELL Coordinator / ELD Teacher who believes that English Language Learners deserve excellent instruction, high expectations, and real access to opportunity.

The ELL Coordinator / ELD Teacher will own and lead the K–12 ELL program, directly serve students, guide instructional practice, and drive reclassification outcomes for approximately 80 English Language Learners across grades K–12. You will have the autonomy to design services, the support to implement them, and the authority to make data-driven decisions that move students toward language proficiency and independence.

If you are an educator who wants your work to result in students exiting ELL status faster, teachers teaching language more effectively, and families feeling empowered, this role was built for you.

WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR
