Teacher Trainers
will either work in the English medium schools in the Kathmandu Valley or in
Nepali speaking schools in rural areas. Flexibility and an ability to keep
things as simple as possible are the skills most needed for this work in
Nepal.
Primary Teachers
will be expected to teach over a small range of grades. You don’t need
experience within the British Curriculum. What we do need are teachers who
are flexible, who have a love for children and education, and who are
willing to teach within a cross-cultural setting.
Secondary Teachers
will need to be able to teach at all class levels throughout KISC according
to the KISC curriculum, IGCSE syllabus and AS syllabus (similar to A-levels
in the UK). Teachers may be asked to teach other subjects such as Personal
and Social Education, as well as offer an ‘elective’ e.g. a double period of
sport, craft. Teachers are also expected to be involved in extra-curricular
activities and events. Often a teacher is the only one responsible for that
subject and many of the responsibilities of a Head of Department fall to
that teacher e.g. department budget, resource ordering and development,
correspondence. Each year several staff are asked to be Homeroom teachers
(Class / Form teachers) and applicants should be prepared to be asked to
take on this responsibility if appropriate.
See
www.cie.org.uk for the syllabuses
for IGCSE and AS level examinations.
