BASIS International School Guangzhou is seeking qualified candidates for AP English Language Arts Teacher for the 2019/2020 school year!

BASIS International teachers are knowledgeable, passionate, and believe in transforming education. As part of a uniquely collaborative and professional teaching community, BASIS International 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.

As an English Language Arts Teacher, it is primarily your responsibility to develop engaging, content-rich subject specific lesson plans and to teach creative thinking and problem solving. You also have the opportunity to collaborate with other BASIS International teachers to create interdisciplinary lessons with other subjects the students are studying, such as drama or history.

English Language Arts teachers build upon the elementary years’ foundation of language and social science skills and knowledge. Language Arts topics covered include the writing process, grammar, reading comprehension, and literary and rhetorical devices. Topics related to the AP English Language and Literature exams are also covered. Teachers have the freedom to choose their own books and texts to maximize student learning, and to select materials that will excite and engage their students with the subject. We encourage our teachers to bring their own excitement and passion for their subject into the classroom to spark students’ natural curiosity and enhance their interest.

Primary Job Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Prepare subject specific lessons in English Language Arts
  • Provide subject instruction on a higher level than grade standard, in an interactive learning environment and delivering 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
