IB Kindergarten Teacher
Ou Jing International Kindergarten is one of 4 accredited IB PYP World schools in Zheijiang province. The school was founded in 2011 and has gained the reputation of being the best kindergarten in Yiwu due to our commitment to developing a strong curriculum and offering our students many opportunities to learn in fun and engaging ways. Our staff is comprised of over 50 Chinese teachers and over 25 foreign teachers. Our foreign staff is one of the largest early years staff in the country.
Most Ou Jing students start at 2-3 years old and complete 4 years at the school. Their development is closely monitored by the teachers and their progress is guided throughout their time at the school. As an IB school, we focus on learning through inquiry and incorporate play-based learning into the classroom. Each teacher will teach phonics, math and inquiry lessons. The focus of each subject is mapped out in the school curriculum. We value and know that teacher feedback is essential. The curriculum is reviewed and adjusted by the teachers every year to ensure the right material is being taught to the children.
The school has many experienced teachers that will support and guide new teachers learning IB PYP and teaching in China. All teachers work within a year group and meet weekly to share ideas and help each other plan lessons for their class. Each classroom has a Foreign teacher, Chinese English teacher, and a Chinese teacher. Each classroom team sets their teaching schedule and plans together.
With a large teaching team, transitioning into life in China is much easier as there is constant support for your life inside and outside of the school. You will be part of a team of committed teachers and supportive staff.
