A part-time Japanese teaching job will come open in the Carmel-Clay School district in April and May of 2008. This position is for the mornings only. Please see http://www.ccs.k12.in.us for more information about the school district. The job has not been posted on the CCS website yet, but inquiries are probably welcome. 

This job is a maternity-leave position. After the end of the school year, I will not be returning in fall 2008. Therefore, whoever applies for the maternity leave position might want to consider also applying for the permanent position open in the fall. I teach Spanish and Japanese at Clay Middle School. The most ideal candidate would be certified in both Spanish and Japanese, since this would lead to a full-time job. However, candidates willing to teach part-time in either language should still apply.
