Primary Years Co-Teacher

Woodland Star International School offers Early Years, Primary Years, Middle Years, and High School programs, all located on a single beautiful, green campus. Their motto is "ad astra per aspera," meaning "through hardships to the stars."

The Primary Years Co-Teacher will collaborate with Homeroom teachers to co-plan, co-deliver, and co-assess lessons, ensuring alignment with curriculum objectives and inclusive education principles. This role involves adapting and differentiating instructional materials and strategies to meet the diverse needs of learners. The Co-Teacher will support students in building knowledge, developing problem-solving skills, and deepening conceptual understanding in line with Common Core Standards, while implementing mastery-based teaching, learning, and reporting approaches to ensure meaningful participation for all. Key responsibilities include acting as a case manager for Individualised Learning Plans (ILPs) or ensuring relevant updates are provided, monitoring, documenting, and communicating learner progress to teachers, families, and the Learning Support Team. The role also requires providing targeted small-group and individual support during lessons, promoting inclusive participation, positive peer relationships, and independent learning. The Co-Teacher will contribute to a safe, respectful, and engaging classroom environment that fosters curiosity and independent thinking, collaborate with colleagues on curriculum planning, student support, and professional learning, and participate in professional development opportunities and school-wide initiatives.
