Jobs , Comments Off on Job: Full-Time Teacher at Tsukuba International School (JAPAN)

The Tsukuba International School in Ibaraki, Japan is looking for a full-time elementary school teacher.  The candidate must be a native English speaker with a degree in education (or related field) and teacher qualifications.   The school is not a conversation school, but rather a full-time elementary school where children learn all of their subjects in the English language.

QUALIFICATIONS: Note – these are non-negotiable requirements.

  • Native English proficiency.
  • University degree in education (preferably with elementary specialization, i.e. ages 6 to 12) from a country with an English language-based curriculum. (A degree in “Teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language” is not sufficient.)
  • Qualifications to teach in a jurisdiction with primarily English-based education. (This means that the candidate must be a qualified teacher in a country such as Australia, Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, or the United States.)

OTHER PREFERENCES:

  • Experience teaching in an elementary school.
  • Experience teaching at an international school, or in a multicultural environment.
  • Experience teaching non-native speakers of English.
  • Experience teaching the Primary Years Programme of the International Baccalaureate.
  • Familiarity with inquiry-based learning.
  • Experience living in Japan, or living abroad.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Teach all core subjects: Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies
  • Share responsibilities in other subjects: Art, Physical Education, Music, and Media Studies
  • Able to manage a dynamic classroom setting.
  • Possess the flexiblity to deal with new students and new teaching paradigms gracefully.
  • Have a clear understanding of the importance of professional development, through workshops/seminars and independent learning.

Attach a one-page cover letter stating why you are interested in this position and what you could contribute to our school.
