Compensation:

Based on current exchange rates, this is the equivalent of approx. $925 USD. The cost of living in Mexico is about 2/3 that of the US & Canada. American/Canadian teachers have found that this salary allows them to pay for utilities, food, gas, and other living expenses while working and living abroad. There may be opportunities to earn additional wages based on your skill sets and the value they bring to the school (i.e. after-school coaching, tutoring, etc).

Additional Benefits:
*In order to work in Mexico, you are required to have an FM-3 (Work Visa). Colegio Americano will help you to secure an FM-3 at the school’s expense.
*Bus travel to Colegio Americano (if you ride the school’s bus) is free for teachers.
*Spanish language classes (held at our language learning centre, Agora, in Guaymas) are free.
*Use of the school’s facilities and extra-curricular classes are free (i.e. swimming pool, tennis courts, yoga, pilates, taekwondo, etc)
*If you have children, the school’s tuition costs for them are free, and they receive a discount on extra-curricular activities. However, uniforms, books, costume for school plays, etc. are at the teacher’s expense.

Our Location:
The 6.2 acre campus is located in Miramar, an upscale district in the city of Guaymas (population of 130,000), approx. 20 km south of the lovely Mexican resort community of San Carlos. Guaymas and San Carlos are situated on the Sea of Cortez (4 hours south of the US-Arizona State border) and are known for their beautiful sand beaches, spectacular diving and snorkeling, kayaking, and offshore fishing.

SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY
The educational philosophy of the school is based on the multiple intelligences of Howard Gardner: language, math and logic, spatial vision, kinesthetics, music, nature, and interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships. CEDEI School teaches its students about the world, its cultures, traditions, festivals, foods, dress, and traditional stories with the intention of giving each child a sense of belonging to the human race.

SCHOOL STRUCTURE
Our school opened in September 2003. In the 2008 ñ 2009 school year, the school will include an early stimulation class (1- and 2-year-olds), preschool classrooms (3- and 4-year-olds), two ®primero de basica® classes (5- and 6- year olds, equivalent of kindergarten), a segundo de basica class (6- and 7- year olds,first grade), a ìtercero de b·sicaî (7- and 8-year-olds, second grade) , a ìcuarto de b·sicaî (8- and 9-year-olds, third grade), and a ìquinto de b·sicaî (9 and 10 year olds, fourth grade). One grade level is added each year. Each classroom has a Spanish-speaking Ecuadorian teacher and an English-speaking international teacher. The international teachers are expected to teach all content in English and speak to the children in English at all times. Children learn English from native speakers at the same time as they acquire their native language of Spanish. Each member of the international staff is responsible for teaching an extra subject area to other classes of the school. These extra areas are: computer science, art, corporal expression, science and library.

INTERNATIONAL TEAM PURPOSE
Besides being immersed in an English speaking environment, from a very young age, the children will be exposed to a variety of cultures. With the presence of international teachers of different religious, social, and educational backgrounds, our hope is that these children will experience a unique environment. In the future, our students will learn to constructively criticize and propose alternatives to political, social, economic, artistic, and cultural problems.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERNATIONAL STAFF
We are currently seeking native English speakers to form our international staff for the 2008-2009 school year. We are seeking people with an education background and/or experience working with children ages 1-10. Spanish ability is helpful but is not required. The international teachers for this school year are asked to commit to working from August 2008 to end of July 2009, and work roughly from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The compensation will include free Spanish classes in the afternoon, free salsa dance classes, free internet access, and a monthly stipend of $296 for teachers of preschool and kindergarten, and $310 for teachers of first through fourth grade. Working at CEDEI School is an excellent opportunity to travel abroad, gain teaching experience, and learn Spanish.

We hope this general information has given you a better idea of how our school works and will assist you in deciding if CEDEI is an organization that you would like to support. If you have any further questions please contact us at englishcoord@cedei.org.

The English Nursery School (ENS) was founded in the spring of 2004. All of our teachers are highly qualified and devoted native English speakers. The teacher to pupil ratio at the ENS is 1:5, and the learning is based upon the United Kingdom`s “Foundation Stage” programme, that is a specially designed curriculum for early pre-school education. We use the immersion method, which is the most effective one for teaching children a foreign language. The Nursery group is for children from 3 to 4 years old, and the Reception group, which prepares children for primary school, is for children from 4 to 6 year olds.

We feel our primary job is to reach the individual needs of the children, and to empower them with confidence in their abilities. At ENS we have a relaxed, friendly, family-like atmosphere, full of warmth, trust and affection. Thus, our children feel safe and secure, and gain self-confidence from the very start of their studies.
