Are you interested in joining the BASIS family? BASIS International School Shenzhen is seeking a Humanities Subject Expert Teacher (SET) for the upcoming school year. This individual should have a strong background in and passion for English and Social Studies and love of elementary level students.

BASIS is on a MISSION!

BASIS Primary Subject Expert Teachers (SETs) are knowledgeable, passionate elementary teachers that believe that with the right support and encouragement, any child can excel. We hire elementary school teachers with academic degrees or an educational emphasis in the disciplines they teach. BASIS Elementary subject expert teachers are able to focus their teaching on a specific subject rather than preparing lessons for several subjects every day. They work collaboratively with Learning Expert Teachers (LETs) to cultivate a joyful learning culture where hard work is celebrated and where intellectual pursuits result in extraordinary student outcomes. At the elementary level, LETs help you focus on instruction while they customize education to meet the individual differentiation needs of each student. Subject Expert Teachers in the BASIS elementary model will have a specific focus in either Math and Science, Humanities and Language Arts, Mandarin, Engineering and Visual or Performing Arts. As a SET, it is primarily your responsibility to develop engaging, content-rich subject specific lesson plans and to teach creative thinking and problem solving.

Additional duties of Subject Expert Teachers include, but are not limited to:

•Prepare subject specific lessons for elementary aged students


•Providing subject instruction on a higher level than grade-standard in an interactive learning environment and delivering exceptional results for all students


•Implementing BASIS curriculum by designing effective and creative lessons and assessments to ensure students' education is at a truly internationally competitive level


•Collaborating with other BASIS teachers to form a community of smart, talented and interesting people who are passionate about education and readily willing to work in a professional, academic environment


•Tutoring students in content-specific knowledge (math, sciences, fine arts, engineering and world history – just to name a few) and skills to heighten the trajectory of students' academic and career success


•Managing student behavior to foster academic achievement, personal responsibility, intellect and individuality in all students
