Job Description:
Language Lead Admin - GVA STARTALK Polyglot Program
Global Village Academies (GVA) are innovative language immersion
charter schools with campuses in Aurora (K-8), Thornton (K-8) and
Douglas County (K-5). Students learn core content through language
immersion in their choice of French, Spanish, Mandarin, or Russian
(depending on the school). GVA is truly a "global village." Our
immersion teachers come from all over the world, each bringing
their unique culture and language into the classroom. United by a
common core, students are challenged to become world-class
thinkers, capable of engaging ideas using multiple languages and
cross-cultural perspectives, through internationally benchmarked
curriculum spanning each language village.
STARTALK is a federal grant program funded by the National Security
Agency with the objective of increasing the number of US citizens
learning and teaching less commonly taught languages throughout our
nation and inspiring those students to language careers, thereby
contributing to language workforce development for the Federal
Government.
This GVA STARTALK Polyglot Program is sponsored through our
STARTALK grant at all of our GVA campuses for the Mandarin language
and at GVA-North for the Russian language. GVA will provide
students the STARTALK Polyglot Program in a hybrid
in-person/virtual model with 20 hours pre-camp in-person activities
and virtual meetings, 45 hours in person summer camp, and 20 hours
post-camp in-person activities and virtual meetings.
