Individuals and Societies Teacher Tijdelijk
Do you want to guide our students in discovering the world around them? Are you an Individuals and Societies teacher ready to inspire the next generation of global citizens? Join us and make a difference!
The Challenge
As an Individuals and Societies teacher in the Middle Years Programme (MYP), you will bring social sciences to life. Through subjects such as History, Geography, and Economics, you will give students insight into human behaviour, societies and global issues. At Rivers International School, you will have the space to bring creativity and innovation to your teaching methods. You will work with colleagues from diverse cultures. Together with them, you work on cross-curricular lessons.
You will encourage critical thinking, inquiry-based learning and collaboration, while instilling an international mindset and cultural awareness. With your passion for education and social sciences, you will create an environment in which students not only gain knowledge, but also develop skills such as analysis, communication, and problem-solving.
Why do I work on Rivers International School Arnhem?
– ‘At Rivers, I particularly like our student-centred curriculum emphasizing the development of skills through inquiry and concept-based teaching and learning – it allows me to fully tap into my own creativity to support my students’ natural curiosity. It is a dream come true for me as a professional teacher.’
– ‘The atmosphere here at River is really special. I have taught in many international schools, but nowhere have I encountered such an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding as at Rivers. It is quite unique, and I feel blessed to be able to be part of it.’
