Chers collègues,

 

Vous êtes mon dernier espoir.

 

Cinq écoles publiques à New York offrent un programme billingue, trois depuis septembre et deux à la rentrée prochaine. Une grande aventure.

Leur défi est de trouver des professeurs certifiés dans l'élémentaire avec un très bon niveau de français. Problème : elles n'en trouvent pas et cela devient très urgent.

 

Des professeurs certifiés dans d'autres états pourraient obtenir un transfert de certification pour pouvoir enseigner à New York. Pourriez-vous faire circuler cette annonce dans vos réseaux de profs ?

 

Un immense merci

 

Fabrice
