Middle School English Teacher
Overview:
Our high school is currently looking for teachers to join our team. The students range from Grades 8 to 10 and are preparing for their IGCSE exams. In Grade 8, students will undertake a preparatory IGCSE syllabus, while Grade 9 students will formally start to prepare for the IGCSE exams. Grade 10 students will take a small packet of IGCSE exams depending on their abilities.
It is important to appreciate that this is a new school, and we are committed to being flexible and supportive of our students' success during our first year of operation. In the future, we plan to offer Advanced Placement and Levels opportunities and, after these, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program.
We are searching for teachers who are confident in their ability to support IGCSE students in various subjects, including Math, English, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Geography. Depending on student demand, these latter positions may undertake electives for the older two grades. Additionally, due to the comparatively small contact-time load, the post-holders for these teaching positions may be required to take on additional hours with the middle school bilingual students.
Job Responsibilities:
- Develop and implement well-structured lesson plans that align with the relevant subject area and grade levels, and ensure that they meet the curriculum objectives.
- Utilize a variety of teaching materials and methods to engage students and comprehensively deliver content.
- Objectively grade assessments and provide constructive feedback and reports to students and parents.
- Prepare students for tests, exams, contests, presentations, experiments, or other assessments.
- Monitor students’ overall well-being and liaise with school counselors and other staff members to address any concerns or issues.
- Build rapport and professional relationships with students, colleagues, and parents.
- Provide additional support and interventions to students who are struggling, and offer extra resources to those who are excelling.
- Attend professional meetings and ongoing learning initiatives such as workshops, lectures, conferences, and other events to expand professional networks.
- Keep up-to-date with the latest teaching theory and practice.
Applications for this position will be received directly by the school and will not be reviewed by Teach Away's Placement Coordinators.
Any communication about the job will take place directly between you and the institution. Tracking of your application status will take place within the application tracking system used by the school you are applying to (outside of your Teach Away Dashboard).
