Required Degrees: Elementary Ed. or ESL or Social Studies or Science
Fields of Expertise: ESL/EFL , Elementary , Science , Math/Physics , Social Studies
Details: Contract Dates: Two year contract.
Schedule: 7:00 a.m. to 3:35 p.m. from Monday to Friday
8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. one or two Saturdays every month
Additional meetings when necessary
22-24 55-minute teaching periods + 8 planning/grading periods + 2 individual tutoring periods + 3 training/meeting sessions (from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.)
Vacational Periods: Spring Break (one week in March/April)
Recess Week (September/October)
Mid-Year (3 weeks between June and July)
End of the year (3-4 weeks between December and January)
Main Responsibilities:
• Know and work based upon Colombian Curriculum Standards as well as PYP / MYP curriculum and methodology.
• Be a model to all students of the IB profile: inquirers, thinkers, communicators, risk-takers, knowledgeable, principled, caring, open-minded, well-balanced, reflective.
• Work as a team to plan and design unit of inquiry and activities to fulfill the Study Plans of the grade. Collaborative planning is a big part of the job.
• Teach the main subject matters (Homeroom teachers): Language Arts English, Science, Social Studies, Mathematics and Ethics. This may vary depending on the grade you will be teaching.
• Know how each one of your students learn and establish teaching strategies to reach all of them when planning all your classes and evaluating their learning.
• One-on-one tutoring when necessary.
• Maintain up to date the planning, attendance and grade platform.
• Use technological tools to complement your teaching.
• Attend conferences, activities or workshops that the school decides are important.
• Evaluate constantly students’ academic, social, discipline progress and struggles.
• Prepare the students´ progress reports.
• Meet with parents, school directives and co-workers to discuss students’ progress.
• Follow and contribute to the school´s Quality System (based on norm ISO 9001-2008).
• Any other obligations that arise with the position.
Other Duties: Monitoring Lunch and Break.
Bus duties
We are in the process of adapting to the methodology for PYP and MYP (IB Program) and working with units of inquiry. Even if we have text books, we encourage using them only as a reference (as well as other resources you may find that are useful at working with our students in developing skills and competences) so being resourceful and creative is a big part of the job.
The students work with the homeroom teacher in Language Arts, Mathematics, Science Social Studies and Ethics. This would be your role (for Little School and Primary). They do have Spanish Language Arts, Dance, Drama, Art, Technology and Physical Education with different teachers. As a homeroom teacher, you are responsible for communicating with parents and with teachers to discuss students´ progress or difficulties. The homeroom teacher plays the most important role in the academic, social, and disciplinary guidance and follow up of students.
For middle school teachers, teachers would teach different groups of students and are responsible for that particular area. You would have to work and maintain constant communication with the homeroom teachers to keep them updated with each kid´s progress. In any case, you are required to work as part of a team and interdisciplinary projects are encouraged.
There are after-school activities for those teachers who want to develop an activity- or special class. You would get paid extra for those activities and there is a special coordinator for these activities.
Parents are involved in many ways: we have a platform where they can check their kid’s assignments and grades on line. We expect parents´ attendance at least 4 times during the year (open house and 3 report meetings), and every time the homeroom teacher or the coordinator decide it is important to meet with them.
We believe that education is a process that involves parents and teachers and we try to work with parents as a team; this is a very important part of being a teacher at LPV. As in every school, we have concerned parents, we have stressed parents, we have full participants and unfortunately we also have parents that do not participate as much as we want, we will help you with those cases.
