Pre-Prep Classroom Teachers

The Role

You will be responsible for addressing the academic, social, and welfare needs of every child in your class, ensuring that parents are consistently informed about their child's progress.

In our Pre-Prep classes, each has two teachers—one native English speaker and one Chinese—who will collaborate wherever possible. However, the two educators may also have distinct roles in delivering specialized content. Thus, teamwork is a critical requirement.

Key Tasks and Responsibilities

1. Oversee teaching and learning in your assigned class as guided by the school leadership team.

2. Provide documented lesson and activity plans that cater to the diverse needs of students.

3. Facilitate learning through play, problem-solving, inquiry, and experimentation.

6. Observe and assess student behavior, relationships, and social development within the classroom.

7. Contribute to the co-curricular activities, including after-school clubs and programs.

10. Participate in Personal and Professional Development (PPD) initiatives organized or approved by the School.

11. Communicate with the SENCO (or the school leadership team if the SENCO is unavailable) regarding any students with specific learning needs.

12. Adhere to the School's Equality of Opportunity Policy to foster an environment free from prejudice and discrimination.

13. Assist the Admissions and Marketing teams by sharing information with prospective families and offering support and reassurance.

14. Represent and promote the School positively at local events as needed.

15. Carry out any reasonable tasks as assigned by the school leadership team.
