MYP Design Teacher (Product focus)
About This Role
Join Our Educational Community at ISL!
Do you believe that every learner has unique potential and that education should nurture curiosity, critical thinking, and global awareness? Are you passionate about designing impactful learning experiences that help students comprehend their world and their place in it? If this aligns with your values, we would be excited to hear from you.
As a teacher at our school, you will play a pivotal role in shaping not only what our students learn but also how they interact with that knowledge. You will develop engaging, concept-driven lessons that ignite curiosity, encourage reflection, and help students connect their learning to both personal and global contexts. Participation in the advisory program is an essential expectation for all teachers at our institution.
This role goes beyond conventional teaching; it's an opportunity to join a collaborative network of educators dedicated to innovation, inclusivity, and lifelong learning.
About the Position
We are seeking a dynamic and creative MYP Design Teacher with a focus on Product Design (woodworking, CAD, laser cutting, and 3D printing) to join our international school in Luxembourg.
This role is ideal for an educator who views design as a crucial instrument for students to explore concepts, address real-world issues, and build confidence as creators and innovators. While the primary emphasis will be on Product Design, familiarity with Digital Design is also important, as it is integrated within the broader IB MYP Design curriculum.
At our school, we foster a learning environment that thrives on curiosity, inquiry, and hands-on experimentation. We are looking for a teacher who enjoys guiding students through the design cycle, helping them define problems, conduct research, brainstorm, prototype, test, iterate, and reflect, all while cultivating practical design and technical skills.
