Show Your Inclusive Teaching Toolkit
This role is about meeting learners where they are. Hiring teams at international schools look for evidence that you can adapt fast, document progress, and collaborate without ego.
1. Lead with your TSC number: Put your TSC number and teacher certification right at the top of your CV. It is a hard requirement, and missing it can take you out of the running before your experience is even read.
2. Prove your differentiation skills: Give a concrete example of how you modified a lesson or assessment for a learner with specific needs. Mention the tools you used, like visual schedules or assistive tech, and the outcome.
3. Show your collaboration muscle: This role works closely with classroom teachers and the Inclusion team. Describe a time you co-planned or co-taught, and how you handled disagreements professionally.
4. Prepare for safeguarding questions: Be ready to talk about how you maintain boundaries, report concerns, and follow safeguarding protocols. Have your police clearance ready to show.
5. Know the Common Core: Review the Common Core standards for the grade levels you might support. Be ready to discuss how you would align your support to those standards.
6. Reflect on your mindset: The posting asks for reflective, adaptable, and solutions-focused educators. Prepare a short story about a time you had to change your approach mid-lesson and how you handled it.
7. Bring your documents: Have certified copies of your academic and professional documents, plus at least two professional references, ready to submit. Double-check that everything is current.
8. Align with the mission: Research Woodland Star's mission and values. Be ready to explain why you are drawn to their approach and how you would contribute to their community.
