French Jobs in NYC

Two new French dual language programs opening in New York City in the Fall. The schools are both in Brooklyn: PS 110 (Greenpoint/Williamsburg) and PS133 (Parks Slope/Gowanus). It's good news! Both will start a French-English dual language program (50-50 Model) in September 2011, starting with grade K and adding a new grade each year. Finding great teachers is key to the success of these programs.
If you are interested or know of someone who is interested please ask them to forward a letter of application and resume to:
