Preschool Teacher
We are a Spanish & Mandarin immersion school, and so native Spanish AND/OR Mandarin is required. Monolingual English positions are available as well. We invite teachers to promote cross-cultural activities and the dual language immersion program in the school and community. You will be expected to help as a native Spanish/Mandarin/English-speaker, modeling for students and helping them maximize their learning by utilizing the target language consistently in the classroom.
You will be responsible for working with your Co-Teacher in best practices with this age group, model those practices, and lead all parent communications. You will work closely with the Head of School to evaluate student progress and support your teaching team. Teaching teams work together to create curriculum that is developmentally appropriate and aligned with our IB pedagogy.
Teachers working with young children are often also working with parents who are new to parenting. Therefore, you must be someone with exceptional communication skills and a nurturing, cooperative approach. Our goal is to guide and support parents through the journey of the early years, helping them foster their child’s independence and confidence.
Through the use of technology, our students develop and apply strategies for critical and creative thinking, engage in inquiry, make connections, and apply new understandings and skills in different contexts. We ask every teacher to embrace technology and see it as any tool that empowers the learner to broaden the expression of an idea (often artistically), innovate, solve a problem, learn something new, verify what they think they know, communicate and collaborate with others, and so much more.
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).
