Teaching Drama at BASIS International & Bilingual Schools:

As a Drama Teacher, it is primarily your responsibility to develop engaging, content-rich subject-specific lesson plans, and to teach students drama and theater as a form of self-expression, story-telling, and the ability of drama to help shape our communities and society.

Drama teachers dive deeper into theater vocabulary, history, technology, stage design, and movement. Students learn how to tell stories with and without words, self-expression through drama, and how to perform for an audience. Drama Teachers can collaborate with other BASIS International teachers to tie in lessons with what students are learning in other subjects. Our Drama Teachers are passionate and excited to teach their students in innovative ways, and our students are eager to learn and grow.

Primary Job Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Prepare subject-specific lessons in Drama for primary school-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 at an internationally competitive level.
• 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.
