English Teacher (Second Degree)

Job Description

Enthusiastic English teacher wanted! Inspire students with your passion for language, culture, and communication. You make English lively, accessible, and fun — both in and outside the classroom.

Poort Lyceum has achieved excellent exam results using the management instruction method. Students receive goal-oriented short instructions and are then personally guided by their teacher. Poort Lyceum has a pleasant student population. Classroom management is therefore based on the relationship with the students, rather than on authority. The new colleague identifies with this educational and pedagogical vision. The new colleague has experience in, and affinity with, both lower and upper years at mavo, havo, and vwo levels.

At Poort Lyceum, all teachers are also coaches; once every three weeks, they have a personal conversation with their coached students regarding study attitude, organization, and performance. Additionally, they are the point of contact for parents.

Most students find English an enjoyable subject; due to their familiarity with the language, they sometimes overestimate their level of proficiency. The new colleague is expected to proactively help search for an approach that works for our students and that makes them enthusiastic to continue committing themselves to learning English.

Within the subject departments, tasks are divided: preparing tests, creating lesson plans, analyzing test results, etc. The colleague fully participates in these tasks as well. New colleagues are guided by our teacher coaches and by a colleague from the subject department.

There are intervision moments to discuss experiences with other new colleagues. The MT has an open-door policy and is always easily accessible.
