-
Two sound guidelines; if you don’t have something nice to say about someone, don’t say it and if you don’t hear it/see it for yourself, then go straight to the source to find out for yourself.
If the above statements fit with how you like to work, then CIS could be the place for you but read on ………
CIS is at an exciting stage of development.There is a lot of work for an incoming teacher – not only do you need to adjust to living to a new country and city, but there will be hard work to get the school to the level that we are aiming for. We want to be compared to the best in the EARCOS region.
To achieve this aim, we have many avenues to pursue, however within the school, we are focusing very much on curriculum and assessment, using UbD and developing best practice teaching.
It is important that we both work out the ‘right fit’ –
we need to be the type of school that you are looking for, and
you need to be the type of person we need to achieve our goals.
There are many things that can be taught, but you cannot teach a work ethic, or passion for their job – this is what CIS needs.
If you have a strong work ethic (with an ability to laughJ) and you have a passion for teaching and wanting to make a difference to children’s lives, then CIS is the school for you.
