Guess I won't apply for this job!

Lower School World Language Specialist

We are seeking candidates for the 2011-2012 school year. The Lower School World Language Specialist will be responsible for implementing a new Spanish program for students in grades 1-4. The ideal candidate will be fluent in Spanish, experienced in teaching World Languages to students between the ages of 6-10, knowledgeable of FLES programs, able to create a fun, engaging, and nurturing learning environment for children, as well as possess an enthusiasm for the discipline. Knowledge of other languages, such as French or Chinese, is a plus. He/she will also be flexible, responsible, detail-oriented, organized, collaborative and a team player. In addition, he/she will demonstrate the characteristics that are inherent in our core values of courage, teamwork, respect, integrity and passion.

Education/Experience Requirements: A Bachelor’s degree in Spanish with knowledge of Elementary Education. At least 3-5 years experience teaching world languages in an elementary school setting.

If they are creating a Spanish program then why must they know French or Chinese?  Or is this a guise just to get a Spanish program in the school?  Can not have just a Spanish program only so you must say you are going to have a "World Language" Program.  Well hmmm then why do they have to have a degree in Spaish and not say for instance French??  Something is not right with this picture!?!
