Show Your IB Assessment Fluency
This school runs the IB Diploma and Middle Years Programme, so your CV and interview answers must show you can plan backwards from criteria, use rubrics, and give feedback that moves learning. Hiring managers will probe how you differentiate for mixed-ability classes and how you document evidence of student progress.
1. Lead with IB credentials: If you hold IB certification in Economics, Business Management, or a Humanities subject, put it in the first third of your CV. If you have taught in an IB World School, name the school and the years—this directly answers the 'preferably within an IB World School' line.
2. Quantify your classroom impact: Use numbers where possible: 'Raised average Economics HL scores by 12% over two years' or 'Managed a caseload of 40 students across three subjects'. Concrete outcomes beat generic 'passionate teacher' phrases.
3. Prepare a unit plan sample: Bring a one-page unit plan you have taught, showing the central idea, key concepts, ATL skills, and a criterion-based assessment task. Be ready to explain how you adapted it for different learners.
4. Show your pastoral side: This role includes homeroom tutoring and mentoring CAS/SA projects. Have a short story ready about a time you supported a student's wellbeing or guided a community project—schools want evidence of that, not just academic delivery.
5. Talk about technology with purpose: They want IT used to enhance inquiry, not just for slides. Mention specific tools you have used—Google Classroom, ManageBac, Kahoot, or data trackers—and how they improved student engagement or assessment.
6. Align with the IB philosophy: Expect questions about conceptual teaching, international-mindedness, and the learner profile. Rehearse answers that show you see students as inquirers and thinkers, not just exam candidates.
7. Address the multi-subject reality: You may teach across Economics, Business, and Humanities. Show you can move between disciplines confidently—give an example of a cross-curricular project you led or a time you taught outside your main subject.
8. Polish your safeguarding awareness: Kenyan schools take child protection seriously. Be ready to discuss how you create a safe classroom, handle disclosures, and follow school policy—this is a non-negotiable for international schools.
