About The Position
Position : Hourly Instructional Aide (0.5 FTE) Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. School Martin Luther King, Jr. School Community : The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. School is an innovative public school where every student learns mandarin Chinese. The King School provides two options for pursuing Chinese language study. Students may pursue a sequential Two-Way Immersion option focused on the development of biliteracy in both English and Mandarin Chinese. Alternatively, students may choose to balance daily Chinese lessons with other core content. For Grades JK – 2, classrooms follow two learning strands, which merge together for English and Chinese instruction for Grades 3 – 5. We believe our programs prepare, enrich, and challenge our students for success as global citizens and scholars. Thanks to a grant from the state of Massachusetts, students benefit from an expanded learning day, this provides opportunities for increased enrichment and more time on core subject areas.
