Join a School That Truly Values Bilingual Educators

La Casa de Esperanza is a full-service charter school serving students and families in Waukesha and we are growing.

At a time when dual language programs are shifting across the region, we recognize that exceptional bilingual educators are looking for a school that not only needs them, but truly understands and values their work.

If you are passionate about bilingual education and want to teach in a school where language, culture, and identity are at the center, not the margins; this is your opportunity.

Position Overview

The Dual Language Teacher delivers high-quality, standards-aligned instruction in a self-contained elementary classroom, teaching all core subjects (Reading, Writing, Math, Science, and Social Studies) in both English and Spanish.

This role goes beyond instruction—you will play a key part in developing bilingual, biliterate, and culturally grounded students, while working closely with families and a collaborative school team. 

What You’ll Do

• Plan and deliver engaging, high-quality lessons in English and Spanish across all subject areas
• Implement a structured dual language model (80/20) to support language development and academic success 
• Create a classroom environment rooted in respect, belonging, and high expectations
• Use data to inform instruction and support student growth
• Build strong, consistent communication with families
• Collaborate with colleagues and leadership to strengthen instruction and student outcomes
• Actively contribute to a positive, mission-driven school culture

What We’re Looking For

• Bilingual fluency in Spanish and English (required)
• Valid Wisconsin DPI Teaching License (or ability to obtain) 
• Bilingual certification for dual language instruction
• Experience in dual language or bilingual education strongly preferred
• A deep belief in educational equity and culturally responsive teaching
• Strong classroom leadership and relationship-building skills
• A collaborative, flexible, and solutions-oriented mindset

Why La Casa Stands Out

This is where we differentiate—and why teachers choose to stay.

• Small Class Sizes → More meaningful instruction and relationships
• Mission-Driven Work → Serve a community where your language and culture matter
• Collaborative Team Environment → You are supported, not isolated
• Growing Organization → Opportunities for leadership and advancement
• Whole-Child Focus → Academic + social-emotional + cultural development

 

A Message to Dual Language Educators

We know this is a hard role to fill—because great bilingual teachers are rare and in high demand.

At La Casa:

• Your bilingualism is not an “extra”—it is essential
• Your cultural knowledge is not optional—it is valued

If you are coming from a closing or shifting dual language program, we invite you to bring your experience, your passion, and your voice to a school that is committed to this work long-term.
