Early Years Teacher - OurPlanet International School - Oman
OurPlanet is looking for homeroom teachers who can implement the PYP curriculum to our students who are 50% Omani and 50% from approximately 35 countries. Our school is around 300 students in grades early years through PYOP6, and our staff come from all over the world as well, with all our homeroom teachers being ex-pat.
It is preferred that candidates have experience of producing Unit Plans and will understand the continuum of learning skills directed by Scope and Sequence. PYP experience is not necessary but preferred. However, an understanding of inquiry based learning, with projects and using the curiosity of the students, and making lessons student centred instead if teacher-led, is our goal.
OurPlanet is a community environment, with teachers all working together, collaboration being important, and the school has a small community-school feel to it. Teachers enjoy teaching at OurPlanet, our students enjoy being here, and our parents support the school and enjoy the atmosphere here.
