Teaching Position Posting: Russian Language at Noble Street College Prep

[Olsen, William]

Noble Street College Prep (www.goldentigers.org), a rigorous public high
school in Chicago, seeks a relentless, knowledgeable, and caring teacher
of Russian language for high school seniors. This full-time position
begins in January. Please email Rocio Garcia at rgarcia at goldentigers.org
with resume and cover letter.

Featured in the ACTR newsletter and Chicago Tribune, Noble Street
College Prep's Russian program is a recipient of two Oppenheimer Teacher
Incentive grants. It is based on a rigorous curriculum with the goal to
prepare students for college. The students are expected to learn basic
Russian conversation, develop deep understanding of the Russian history,
master new Cyrillic orthography, and acquire appreciation for other
cultures and languages. Students' interest and motivation is promoted by
monthly Russian club activities which provide opportunities to
participate in various Slavic events in Chicago. In addition, two
educational tours to Moscow and St. Petersburg have been led during the
summers of 2004 and 2006. These trips deepened students' knowledge and
love for Russia and the Russian Language. At the end of the school year,
an annual ceremony, "The Last Bell", is staged in the theater. It is a
traditional Russian celebration during which the underclassmen bid
farewell to the graduating seniors. During this event the entire junior
and senior classes showcase their knowledge of the Russian language and
culture acquired during their foreign language studies.
