At Awty International School, we believe that students learn best and faculty perform best in a culture of vibrant diversity. Diversity is an essential quality of our school environment; our commitment to learning and the pursuit of excellence can occur only in such a context. It helps us guide our students to become responsible world citizens. Our commitment to learning about and respecting one another's diversity brings distinct richness to the Awty experience for students, alumni, employees, and parents.
The Secondary German World Languages Teacher is responsible for creating a nurturing and stimulating learning environment that fosters academic, social, and emotional growth in secondary students. As a member of the faculty, you will support the implementation of the IB Middle Years and/or Diploma Programme(s), executing all program requirements in support of authorization and evaluation.
You will teach German to mixed-ability classes drawn from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, including students for whom English may not be their first language. The role involves developing and implementing engaging lesson plans aligned with curriculum standards, differentiating instruction to meet diverse needs, and incorporating cultural elements to foster cross-cultural understanding and appreciation. Beyond the classroom, you will actively participate in the wider life of the school, assisting with school-wide initiatives, events, and service-learning activities.
To apply, please submit your application through the school's website. Your application should include a cover letter detailing your experience, a current resume, and three professional references (including your most recent direct supervisor). Applications should be submitted as soon as possible.
The Awty International School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, national origin, ethnic or religious beliefs, disability, or any other basis protected by federal, state, or local law.
