MYP/DP Individuals and societies_Business Studies

The position of Individuals and societies and Business Studies teacher reports to the Head of Upper & Senior School. The teacher of Individuals and societies creates a positive and supportive learning environment and develops activities so that students are able to practice in a meaningful context.

In the MYP, we expect students to thrive in ATL Skills and the classes to be based on this concept. The classes are not content-heavy but instead, help students understand the skills they need to develop. Teachers are required to have Unit Plans and Subject Overviews completed for all units prior to the start of the 2021/2022 academic year. All Unit Plans and Subject Overviews are housed in ManageBac as is our attendance, grade book and reports.

● Vertical alignment with the DP classes we offer;
