About BASIS Bilingual School Guangming

BASIS Bilingual School Guangming will open in the fall of 2024, and become the fourth bilingual school in our network. Located in Shenzhen, China, the Guangming District is a perfect place for educators looking to make a meaningful impact on motivated students. With its vibrant mix of cultural diversity and modernity, this district offers a unique teaching experience in one of China’s most dynamic cities. As a founding teacher at our campus in Guangming, you will have access to excellent new state-of-the-art educational facilities, a supportive community of fellow educators, and the chance to immerse yourself in the rich history and traditions of both China and the world. Founding faculty members are also frequently able to take advantage of rapid career progression paths as well.

Our primary classrooms are taught by two teachers—one Subject Expert Teacher (SET) and one Learning Expert Teacher (LET).

BASIS International Primary Subject Expert Teachers can 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 primary level, LETs help you focus on instruction while they ensure individual student understanding according to student needs. As a Math Subject Expert Teacher, it is primarily your responsibility to develop engaging, content-rich subject-specific lesson plans and to teach creative thinking and problem-solving.

Primary Math teachers stimulate and encourage students’ natural curiosity while teaching foundational math and scientific concepts. Teachers have the freedom to present and teach the concepts in their way. Basic addition and subtraction turn into practical applications such as making change. A teacher’s passion can spark a lifetime of interest and learning, and we encourage our subject-expert teachers to allow their enthusiasm for their subject to inspire their students.

Primary Job Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Prepare subject-specific lessons in Math for primary-aged students.
Provide subject instruction on a higher level than grade standard, in an interactive learning environment, and deliver exceptional results for all students.
Implement BASIS Curriculum by designing effective and creative lessons and assessments to ensure students’ education is internationally competitive.
Collaborate with other BASIS International 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.
Tutor students in content-specific knowledge and skills to heighten the trajectory of students’ academic and career success.
Manage student behavior to foster academic achievement, personal responsibility, intellect, and individuality in all students.
