IGCSE History Teacher/Head of Humanities at Nada International School
  • Saudi Arabia - Alahsa
  • My current job since October 2013

responsible for preparing students for IGCSE exams. In addition to teaching classes, I develop lesson plans. I'm also responsible for a number of administrative tasks. I must produce and grade homework, meet with parents to discuss how students are progressing and assign course grades. In addition, I need to meet with school administrators on a regular basis in order to discuss the curriculum, issues that I may be facing and my overall performance.

I'm are also responsible for developing and implementing lessons that allow students to easily understand the material covered. I may use documentaries and visual aids that illustrate concepts that I am trying to convey to students. In addition, with the older grades I often use re-enactments, debates, lectures, discussions, tests, assignments and readings in the course of delivering my lessons. I usually follow the IGCSE curriculum, but I must also develop my own exams and assignments.

I also have duties that include supervising students during lunch periods.
