Primary School Teacher

Douglas Creative Arts and Science Magnet Elementary School works as a collaborative community of teachers, students and parents to build positive relationships that create stimulating learning environments. Through Arts Integration learning, children become creators, collaborators, communicators and critical thinkers. We prepare students for the future by opening up the world to them by enriching the academics through art. An intentional focus on incorporating the multiple intelligences allows students to explore their strengths as well as their weaknesses.

We are looking for an enthusiastic primary teacher interested in having an international teaching experience in the United States and becoming a cultural ambassador to help us deliver on our core values:

• Providing opportunities for students to learn, grow and succeed and eliminate the ability to predict achievement based on socioeconomic status, race and ethnicity.

• Be part of a diverse school community that is inviting, respectful, inclusive, flexible and supportive.
• Promote essential learning skills for the 21st Century Skills; including collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking and media/technology skills.
