This is from a TPRS colleague of Catharina Greenberg:
Far Brook School in Short Hills, New Jersey, seeks a part-time French teacher for grades 7 and 8. The curriculum at this level covers typical French I topics and builds on the skills, vocabulary, and structures acquired in earlier years in our French program.The school strives to create a supportive and engaging environment where children feel secure in taking intellectual risks and participating to their fullest capacity.

Candidates ideally should be familiar with TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) and other Comprehensible Input techniques. A degree in foreign language education and previous experience teaching are required.
