You will teach a set number of hours per week according to the academic schedule of your group.

Pair-teaching is central to the academic programme. It is therefore essential that you liaise and plan together throughout the course.

All teacher administration (such as lesson plans, schemes of work, reports & student forms) will be completed to a high standard and on time.

You are expected to follow the guidelines set out in more detail in the Teachers Handbook.



Activities


While participating in afternoon and evening activities or excursions you will report to the Programme Manager, who is responsible for all non-academic activities.

The Programme Manager will inform you of the group's weekly itinerary and explain to you any forthcoming programmes or activities at scheduled times.

On excursions you are to remain with the group the entire time. You will give out maps, itineraries and any other information that has been prepared for your group.
