In your role as a Design teacher, you will teach MYP classes (students age 11-16 years), in digital and product design. Moreover, you will be expected to challenge students to:

• apply practical and creative thinking skills to solve design problems

• explore the role of design in both historical and contemporary contexts

• consider their responsibilities when making design decisions and taking action.

As a Core Teacher, you will guide students in service as action projects, helping them connect classroom learning to real-world experiences. You will oversee student projects, coordinate with community organizations, and ensure students make progress while fostering their involvement in community engagement. This role emphasizes meaningful service, empowering students to give back and gain a deeper understanding of local and global issues.

You will work alongside your colleagues and undertake all teaching responsibilities as outlined by the IB curriculum documents and the International School of Älmhult. You will be required to attend all team (MYP and whole school) and subject collaboration meetings and training sessions. As a teacher you are responsible for completing the documentation needed.

We expect you to live by the values of the IB philosophy and develop life-long learners. We expect you to build units that have deep rooted connections with the real world. And we also wish to see that you work actively to remove as many barriers for learning as possible in your classroom. In this work you are also expected to use Universal Design for Learning strategies to create an inclusive classroom, and to use the Morning Meeting routines to build strong relationships with individual students as well as a safe learning environment in the classes you teach.

We thrive by working collaboratively with staff at the school and outside of school. We would like you to grow professionally by building connections with the IB community. Our language of instruction is English; therefore, you must have a good command of spoken and written English.

We expect all members to contribute to a positive community feeling, by supporting with celebrations or service projects.
