Executive Director
Cricket Academy is now seeking a new Executive Director to lead and manage our school into the future.
CHINESE TEACHERS WANTED!!!
Cricket Academy, a Milwaukee-area Chinese language and culture school, is always looking for NEW TEACHERS, and we invite any interested teacher candidates to contact us in order to arrange a visit and an interview.
WHO ARE WE? Cricket Academy was founded to meet the needs of American families who have adopted children from China, but our classes now include other students as well. We meet September to May at St. Jude School in Wauwatosa on Saturday mornings.
WHAT DO WE DO? Our teachers present Chinese language and culture in a fun, age-appropriate, "American-style" curriculum which includes lots of games, songs, art projects, etc. Most of the lesson planning is done by our Curriculum Director and class coordinators, with input from the teachers; teachers simply have to TEACH the lesson plans each week. A classroom volunteer is paired with each teacher to assist with lesson plans and help maintain student focus.
TEACHER COMPENSATION: Some teachers work as volunteers; others are paid $35 - $50/wk, depending on their assignment.
TEACHER QUALIFICATIONS: We are looking for teachers who enjoy working with children and have the following qualifications:
- native-like proficiency in spoken and written Mandarin
- standard Mandarin pronunciation
- proficiency in spoken and written English
- possess a Green Card or resident status whereby they can be legally paid
- ability to read and write simplified characters and pinyin (if teaching older students)
(Note: We also welcome persons with the above language qualifications to apply who are NOT able to be legally paid, but are interested in volunteering their services.)
CONTACT US: We would like to meet you and give you the opportunity to see our program in action. To schedule a visit and an interview, please contact:
