Kiddom's high-quality curriculum is layered with robust teacher and leader data insights to drive the continuous improvement of instructional decisions, school/district programming, and professional learning.
We are seeking an experienced K-8 Spanish Language Arts (SLA) Specialist to review and provide feedback on the development of Spanish ELA lesson materials for grades K-8. This role is designed to support the creation of high-quality, standards-aligned Spanish language arts lessons that are linguistically authentic, culturally responsive, and developmentally appropriate across all grade bands. The Specialist will partner with our instructional design team to ensure that lesson content reflects best practices in Spanish literacy development, biliteracy, and heritage language education.
What you'll do...
  • Lesson Review and Feedback
    • Collaborate with the instructional design team during the initial analysis phase to develop a scope and sequence for Spanish ELA lessons across K-8 grade bands.
    • Conduct thorough reviews of lesson content, learning objectives, and instructional activities to ensure alignment with relevant Spanish language arts standards and frameworks.
    • Assess the developmental and linguistic appropriateness of lesson design, vocabulary, and text selections for each grade band (K-2, 3-5, 6-8).
    • Provide detailed, actionable, written feedback on lesson materials that will be implemented by content writers and instructional designers.
    • Evaluate the authenticity and accuracy of Spanish-language content, including grammar, syntax, and culturally situated language use.

    Content Expertise and Consultation
    • Serve as a subject matter expert on Spanish literacy development, including phonological awareness in Spanish, decoding, fluency, comprehension, and written expression across the K-8 continuum.
    • Advise on best practices for supporting Spanish-dominant, emergent bilingual, and heritage language learners across grade levels.
    • Ensure cultural and linguistic responsiveness throughout lesson materials, with attention to diverse Latin American and Spanish-speaking communities and dialects.
    • Recommend evidence-based instructional practices and current research in Spanish literacy education, biliteracy, and dual-language program design.
    • Advise on the integration of Spanish language arts instruction with English language arts to support biliteracy development where applicable.

    Quality Assurance
    • Verify the accuracy of Spanish-language content, including standards alignment, grade-level appropriateness, and adherence to accepted linguistic norms.
    • Ensure lesson content reflects current guidance on Spanish language arts instruction, biliteracy frameworks, and relevant state or national standards.
    • Review materials for clarity, coherence, and accessibility for teacher learners who may have varying levels of Spanish language proficiency.
    • Identify gaps in content coverage, linguistic accuracy, or cultural representation, and flag areas requiring additional development or revision.

What we're looking for...
  • Education and Certification
    • Master's degree in Education, Bilingual Education, Spanish Language Arts, Linguistics, or a related field.
    • Bilingual or dual-language teaching authorization (e.g., Bilingual Authorization, BCLAD, or equivalent) preferred.
    • Native or near-native Spanish proficiency required; formal training in Spanish linguistics or language arts instruction preferred.

    Experience
    • Minimum 5 years of successful K-8 classroom teaching experience delivering Spanish language arts or dual-language instruction.
    • Demonstrated expertise in implementing Spanish ELA standards and frameworks in elementary and/or middle school settings.
    • Experience with curriculum development, lesson review, or instructional coaching in a bilingual or Spanish-medium context.
    • Proven track record of supporting Spanish-dominant, emergent bilingual, or heritage Spanish speakers in developing literacy skills.

    Knowledge and Skills
    • Deep understanding of Spanish language arts standards, biliteracy frameworks, and the research base supporting Spanish literacy development across grades K-8.
    • Expertise in developmentally appropriate and linguistically appropriate practices for learners across the K-8 continuum.
    • Strong knowledge of Spanish literacy development, including phonological and phonemic awareness in Spanish, morphology, syntax, text complexity, and written composition.
    • Understanding of the connections and transfer between Spanish and English literacy skills in bilingual and dual-language programs.
    • Familiarity with culturally sustaining pedagogy and approaches that affirm the linguistic and cultural identities of Spanish-speaking students.
    • Familiarity with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles as applied to language arts instruction.
    • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in both Spanish and English.
    • Ability to provide constructive, specific, and actionable feedback to content developers in a collaborative environment.

Hourly compensation range is dependent on geographic location, prior experience, seniority, and demonstrated role related ability during the interview process.
What Kiddom offers:
* Flexible, part-time schedule that works around your availability.
* Opportunities to grow your skills and deepen your expertise in edtech.
