Learning Support Teacher

ABOUT THE ROLE

St Andrews International School Bangkok prides itself on the fact that our teachers know their children very well. As a truly inclusive international school, our community reflects a wide range of needs. Some children in Early Years and Primary have limited English language exposure and require additional support to access the UK curriculum.

The Learning Support Teacher plays a key role in ensuring that all students can access learning in a meaningful and inclusive way. The postholder assesses students’ areas of need and develops targeted programmes to support academic, social and emotional development.

Working alongside class teachers, the Learning Support Teacher plans lessons in parallel with classroom provision, reinforcing and extending in-class learning. This targeted support enables students to participate fully in school life.

The Learning Support Teacher is a specialist within the wider Learning Support team and reports to the Director of Whole School Learning Support and the Primary Learning Support Coordinators.
