Early Years Classroom Teacher - Al Yusr School - Oman

Are you a qualified, highly-motivated teacher? Do you enjoy creating inspiring and meaningful learning experiences for students?  

We are looking for a native English speaking classroom teacher who can lead their students to:  (1) communicate in English well, (2) develop good manners and social skills, (3) become good readers with a love for reading.  The applicant should have good classroom management practice and a range of teaching methods.  Strong lesson planning, assessment, and self-review skills are also important.

We follow the IEYC curriculum.  Experience with the IEYC is a plus, but not a necessity.  All teachers will receive a 3-week training course beginning August 6th.  The IEYC is designed around eight learning principles, that we consider essential to children’s learning and development:

• The earliest years of life are important in their own right
• Children should be supported to learn and develop at their own unique pace
• Play is an essential aspect of all children’s learning and development
• Learning happens when developmentally-appropriate, teacher-scaffolded and child initiated experiences harness children’s natural curiosity in an enabling environment
• Independent and interdependent learning experiences create a context for personal development and are the foundation of international mindedness
• Knowledge and skills development lead to an increasing sense of understanding when children are provided with opportunities to explore and express their ideas in multiple ways
• Ongoing assessment, in the form of evaluation and reflection, is effective when it involves a learning-link with the home
• Learning should be motivating, engaging and fun, opening up a world of wonder for children where personal interests can flourish
