Dear Sr. Villanueva,
I am applying for the Spanish Teacher position at Camas Prairie. I currently teach the full sequence from beginner to advanced across a combined middle and high school, and your posting's goal of offering an advanced course within three years is exactly the work I have just finished doing.
I built the vertical sequence that lets a student start in seventh grade and sit an advanced course by twelfth. The hard part was the middle years: without a deliberate bridge, students arrived in grade nine having forgotten enough that the sequence reset.
Camas Prairie has the same combined campus structure, which is an advantage most schools do not have — the same teacher can see a student across six years. That only pays off if the sequence is designed for it from the start.
I hold an Idaho Standard Instructional Certificate in Spanish for grades six through twelve, with an Advanced Low rating on the Oral Proficiency Interview.
I would welcome a conversation about which year group you would want the sequence to start with, and how the middle grades are currently staffed. I am available whenever suits you.
Sincerely, Alejandra Weiss
