Literature, Creative Writing and Drama/Public Speaking Teacher

1 month ago

Shanghai, Shanghai, China Studio Education Full time
*Position Overview:
Studio Education is seeking qualified English literature and creative writing
teachers to deliver our custom-designed literature-based curriculum to small
groups of students (between one and eight students per class) in Shanghai,
China. At Studio Education, students read classic and contemporary English
literature in its original and unabridged form, they practice various forms
of creative and academic writing and deliver presentations about their work.
Younger students will also participate in drama lessons, the purpose of which
is primarily to help students inhabit the chapter books and novels they are
reading by generating performances based on them.

Studio teachers guide their students through three-hour weekly sessions
covering reading, discussion, writing, and presenting and/or drama. Outside
of the lessons, teachers will maintain communication with parents and
colleagues regarding student progress, diligently correct and edit
students' writing, and familiarise themselves with the novels they teach.
Our curriculum is well-designed, so excessive lesson planning is not required
to teach lessons. Tasks that teachers are required to complete outside of the
lessons can be done flexibly in terms of time and location, as we do not
require teachers to keep office hours outside of teaching time.

*Responsibilities and Duties:

  • The teacher will be able to teach our challenging and ambitious curriculum
which is different from and more rigorous than commonly used state,
national, and international curriculums.

  • The teacher will be a proponent of the philosophy that it is possible to
teach non-native English speakers/bilingual students using native-level
materials, and that non-native speakers can be guided to perform at levels
far beyond what is considered standard grade-level expectations. Ideally,
a track record in this area will prove this commitment.

  • The teacher will demonstrate outstanding classroom management skills.
  • The teacher will be punctual and reliable.
  • The teacher will wear professional attire during teaching/tutoring
sessions, and at all times when working at our school, whether in-person
or online. The complete dress code is detailed in the Teachers Handbook.

  • The teacher will follow lesson plans provided by Studio Education and
prepare for their lessons accordingly.

  • The teacher will be responsive to questions and concerns from parents, as
well as questions from colleagues and supervisors about student progress
and lessons.

  • The teacher will make careful and detailed corrections and will provide
written and timely feedback, on all story and essay writing assignments at
the following lesson.

  • The teacher will adhere to the standards and requirements for marking
student work as described by the Teachers Handbook and level-specific
Guidebooks.

  • The teacher will ensure that all students maintain high-quality writing
portfolios.

  • The teacher will monitor students to make sure that their writing
portfolios are kept current.

  • The teacher will guide the students to rehearse and deliver engaging
presentations and drama performances.

*Working Hours:
30 weeks per year (4 days a week):

  • Fridays + Thursdays OR Mondays: 4:00 pm-8:00 pm
  • Saturdays and Sundays: 8:45 am-7:45 pm
* 15-24 contact hours per week, with a combination of private (one student)
or small group (up to 8 students) lessons.

  • Additional hours may be available for additional pay.
8 weeks per year (5 days a week):

  • Mondays to Fridays in Winter School (Jan-Feb 2-3 weeks) and Summer School
(Jul-Aug 4-6 weeks)
* 8:30 am-4:30 pm
* 30hrs group classes (maximum eight students per class)

*About Studio Education:
Studio Education is an independent learning centre founded in 2013 in
Shanghai, by James Jobbins, an Oxford-educated British schoolteacher. With
multiple locations across Shanghai, Studio Education is a foreign-owned and
foreign-managed company, that delivers a custom-designed curriculum that
supports students in appreciating and responding to literature, creative
writing, critical thinking, and drama / public speaking.

Studio is both a means to an end and an end in itself. It serves to support
and prepare students in their efforts to pursue a wide-ranging exploratory
education, and it provides – and hails – education for its own sake.
Studio's courses nurture the skills and attributes necessary for successful
admission into the world's best middle schools, high schools, and
universities – and they go so much further than that, reveling in inspiring
great thinking and creativity in intellectual pursuits.

The name "Studio" reflects a symbiosis of study and creativity –
learning at Studio is infused with, and inseparable from, the creative
temperament of conceiving, exploring, trying, and applying new ideas.
Studio's programs incorporate and go beyond memorization, understanding,
and the application of functional skills; they develop the higher-order
thinking skills of analysis, evaluation, and synthesis. These are the
essential elements of a flourishing intellect and creativity.

*Our Philosophy:
We educate students to become kind-hearted and open-minded people of
integrity, tolerance, and self-discipline committed to independent thinking,
creative expression, and a life lived for the common good. The heart and soul
of Studio Education is a combined partnership with families and the community
to provide a purposeful, rigorous education that balances intellectual and
creative development with moral integrity. At Studio Education, all students
sit at round tables, in small groups of eight students or fewer, where each
student's face can be seen, where each student's voice can be heard, and
where every student can think critically, inquire, discuss, imagine, solve
problems and create.

We strive to teach our students to learn to think logically, independently,
confidently, and imaginatively. We explore the historical context of the
subject matter while, at the same time, studying the implications of the
actions of our predecessors and contemporaries on the human experience and
the human condition. Honorable character arises from a kind heart and an open
mind; leaps of imagination and innovation are propelled by a critical
understanding of the past and present, and by a new vision for the future.
Studio Education embraces all three, boldly asserting an educator's duty to
focus on learning for each student's transformation into a purposeful,
moral human being.

*Our Students:

  • Range from 3 to 16 years old, with core programs from 3-13, with the
majority of students from 7-10 years old.

  • Are English speaking, and most study at bilingual and international
schools in Shanghai.

  • Hope to study, live, and/or travel abroad in the future.
  • Come to us for rigorous lessons that exceed the level of challenge and
depth of instruction that they receive in their regular full-time
schools.
