English teachers needed for the upcoming school year 2024-2025

The Province of Hermanas Mirabal is located in the interior of the Dominican Republic, holding a space measuring about 443 km2, with an approximate population of 100,000 inhabitants. This province is where the heroines Patria, Minerva and Maria Teresa Mirabal were born. On November 25th they were murdered by the dictator Rafael Trujillo and to honor them, November 1960 was assigned as the International Day to speak of ending violence against women.

The Oficina Técnica Provincial was assigned and designed as a space where all planning concerning the province Hermanas Mirabal mainly takes place, with the contribution of main important foundations, local authorities, and with the support of the Ministry of Education. The intention is to develop quality educational experiences between a government and non-government alliance (co-management), one for primary education at the Escuela Hermanas Mirabal de Ojo de Agua, with 350 students, and another for secondary education at the Liceo Cientifico Dr. Miguel Canela Lazaro with 550 students. In both cases, they are free public educational centers, in which we are applying the STEAM approach (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics), in a framework of inclusion and multiculturalism.

To continue promoting these initiatives of quality education for low-income students, we are looking for educators and international professionals who have graduated from universities, who are motivated by a social commitment and want to support us for a year or more to strengthen experiences.

We can offer housing and a monthly collaboration of about 850 dollars. (Spanish speaking is suggested, but not required).

For over 12 years we have had the collaboration of teachers and volunteers from Chile, Italy, Spain, Germany, Lithuania, Macedonia, Venezuela, United States, France, Haiti, Mexico, India, People's Republic of China, Korea, Republic of South Africa, Canada, Japan, Romania, Nigeria, Morocco and Puerto Rico. Always looking to train students as multilingual citizens of the world who are committed to development and a culture of peace, with inclusion and equity.

We appreciate all the support you can give us and for more information you can contact: secretaria@liceocientifico.org
