An international school on the UAE's east coast is seeking an Inclusion Teacher to join its welcoming and collaborative community. The school follows the Australian curriculum, using the Victorian Curriculum framework. The framework sets out clear learning progressions across the years of schooling and focuses on the development of the whole child. Alongside academic knowledge, it builds personal capabilities such as critical and creative thinking, ethical understanding, intercultural understanding, and personal and social development.

These capabilities fit well with a school community that values international-mindedness and respect for others. Teachers plan learning around students' individual needs and starting points, so that every child can progress with confidence. Teamwork between teachers, leaders and families is an important part of supporting each student’s success. As Inclusion Teacher, you will work alongside classroom teachers, school leaders and families to help every student access the curriculum, grow in confidence and achieve success.

You will contribute to planning, support teachers with differentiation and monitor student progress. If you are passionate about inclusive education and want to develop your career in a supportive international setting, this role is for you.
