Grüsse aus Dassel -Cokato,
It is my pleasure to announce good news. It is a great sign. Dassel-Cokato High School will start a German program in 2008-09. Many families and students have requested that D-C offer the opportunity and choice for students to learn another world language. D-C has not offered German(except on ITV in the 1980s) and French was eliminated due budget cuts in 2003. The communities passed a levy in 2007 and German was the choice of a majority of the students. DCHS has a stable enrollment of 700 students and 70 staff members. I am the Dean of Students at DCHS and I look forward to helping and welcoming an energetic German teacher! I have taught German for 15 years and I willingly offer my ideas and support. Please visit our website: www.dc.k12.mn.us <http://www.dc.k12.mn.us> and EdPost for application materials and for for more information on this 0.50. FTE position. We are also seeking to hire additional FTEs in English and Math so this position could be at or near full-time. Please contact our principal, Mr. Dean Jennissen if you are interested.

Dear TCGIS friends and families,
Unfortunately one of our new teacher coming from Germany has had a personal medical situation come up and will be unable that will prevent her from joining us this year. This means that we are now looking once again for an elementary teacher who speaks fluent German. In an effort to cast as wide a net as possible, we are asking everyone we know to help spread the word. If you know anybody who you think might be a good candidate for our immersion school, please let them know about this opportunity.

The ideal candidate is a licensed elementary school teacher (German or Minnesota license is acceptable), is a German speaker, and has experience as a foreign language teacher. This position is for either first or third grade and we hope to interview candidates during the last week of July / beginning of August. The job begins on August 20th with teacher workshops.

This is a full time position offering a salary commensurate with education and experience – benefits package included.
For more information or to apply for the position, please contact Twin Cities German Immersion School at 651-492-7106 or by email at jobsw@germanschool-mn.org.

tentatively scheduled for the week of April 23rd.

The following is what I wrote to the AATG listserv:
With just a slight bit of trepidation I delivered my retirement letter to the administration yesterday, which means there will be a job open in our little town in central Minnesota.
The job will be posted on Monday for a German teacher, preferably with a master's degree. I now teach 34 kids in first year, 25 in second year, twelve more on Interactive TV second year, 25 in third year, with forty first year students already signed up to start in the fall to replace my present fourth year class. The second year classes will be combined, and the first year kids divided into a normal and an ITV class. Third and fourth year students each receive a semester of college credit, thus the wish for someone with, or near, a master's degree.
A strong preference will be given to someone with TPRS experience. The cupboards are full of props!
We have had a GAPP exchange with a wonderful town in the Black Forest for twenty years. That will be the hardest thing for me to say good-bye to.
This is an established program with no chance of being cut.
