Elementary Art Teacher - Shenzhen

MUST CURRENTLY BE LOCATED IN CHINA.

BASIS Bilingual School Shenzhen is seeking qualified candidates for Elementary Art Teacher for the 2020-21 school year!

BASIS Bilingual School Shenzhen is part of the BASIS International Schools network of schools in China.

BASIS International teachers are knowledgeable, passionate, and believe in transforming education. As part of a uniquely collaborative and professional teaching community, BASIS teachers motivate students to reach their highest potential, while also elevating their own skills through peer collaboration and a culture where learning is of the greatest importance. Our elementary classrooms are taught by two teachers—one Subject Expert Teacher (SET) and one Learning Expert Teacher (LET).

BASIS International Elementary Subject Expert Teachers are able to focus their teaching on a specific subject rather than preparing lessons for several subjects every day. They work collaboratively with Learning Expert Teachers (LETs) to cultivate a joyful learning culture where hard work is celebrated and where intellectual pursuits result in extraordinary student outcomes. At the elementary level, LETs help you focus on instruction while they ensure individual student understanding according to student needs. As an Art Subject Expert Teacher, it is primarily your responsibility to develop engaging, content-rich subject-specific lesson plans, and to teach students about different art mediums, history, and how art is influenced by, and in turn influences, our culture and society.

Elementary Art teachers lay a foundation by incorporating different artistic mediums, techniques, history, and student displays. Primary Art teachers also have the unique opportunity and ability to collaborate with other Subject Expert Teachers to incorporate and enhance student learning by blending art content with other subjects, such as history. Our Art Teachers are passionate and excited to teach their students in innovative ways, and our students are eager to learn and grow.

Primary Job Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Prepare subject specific lessons in Art for elementary school-aged students
• Provide subject instruction on a higher level than grade standard, in an interactive learning environment and deliver exceptional results for all students
• Implement BASIS Curriculum by designing effective and creative lessons and assessments to ensure students’ education is at an internationally competitive level
• Collaborate with other BASIS International teachers to form a community of smart, talented and interesting people who are passionate about education and readily willing to work in a professional, academic environment
• Tutor students in content-specific knowledge and skills to heighten the trajectory of students’ academic and career success
• Manage student behavior to foster academic achievement, personal responsibility, intellect and individuality in all students
