guestMike Jordan *This is not an agency position*

We are looking to employ two new foreign ESL teaching staff at GEM International Preschool ASAP. Our school - based in the city of Deyang, Sichuan Province, China - has been open for 2 years, and we have already surpassed our initial registration goals.

You will be joining four other foreign teaching staff, including an American vice-principal.

At this crucial stage of the school's growth, you will have a very strong impact on it's future development and success, and your input will directly reflect in the school over the coming years. The team is full of life so any new person must be able to add to this positive ethos we have and bring western education experience to the table. The school focuses on using the Reggio Emillia approach, using the children's interests as a way to provoke thought, and encourage a student-lead learning environment.

As an ESL teacher, you will visit classes in our bilingual department, delivering lessons to children aged 0 – 6. You will have no more than 15 hours face-to-face teaching time per week (30 minute lessons, although you may be encouraged to spend time engaging with children during outdoor playtime, and during free exploration in the classroom). You will also be responsible for preparing your own lessons, and will have Chinese teaching assistants to help you during each lesson.
