Teaching Context The International School of Trieste
(IST) offers motivated educators the opportunity to shape program
areas from curricula to school culture, with a view to maintaining
a forward-thinking scholastic setting which provides for a range of
student learning profiles. Located in the Karst plateau overlooking
the Adriatic Sea, this non-profit organization serves the local and
expatriate communities of Trieste and its surrounding areas. A
thirty-minute commute from the city center and just ninety minutes
east of Venice, IST educates around 370 students from Early
Childhood through High School. We promote a rigorous learning
environment in which students are actively engaged to develop an
understanding of both local and global concerns. Teacher candidates
should possess the capacity to adapt to a variety of learning
styles and to foster critical awareness and academic curiosity. The
ability to collaborate with colleagues in intra- and
interdisciplinary contexts is expected. Our benefits package
includes annual round-trip airfare, local travel benefits, medical
and dental insurance. Teaching Requirements Teaching students aged
11-14, the successful candidate will be responsible for Science
instruction to mixed-ability classes in Grades 6-9. A typical
teaching day may include lessons with students from across this age
range as well as Advisory and Supervising Duties. Teachers are
encouraged to lead or participate in annual residential trips in
Italy and around Europe. The primary role of the Middle School
Science Teacher is to prepare students in the Middle School and
Grade 9 for continuing study in Chemistry, Physics and Biology. The
Middle School program prepares students in Earth Science, Biology,




Chemistry and Physics while following a general key stage 3
curriculum blending into a foundational GCSE level program. This
teacher works in close collaboration with the Grades 10-13 Science
Teacher as well. The successful applicant will: demonstrate
curricular knowledge and developmental awareness of students needs;
follow the written curriculum of the school; contribute to the
periodic review and development of the curricular program; use
clear, logical and integrated instructional plans to align content
and to deliver appropriate material based on group and individual
needs; collaborate in the management of the lab inventory; lead the
planning of and preparation for approved practicals; establish a
climate of trust and respect in which students can safely take
positive risks; communicate clearly, efficiently and responsibly
with students, parents and colleagues; maintain the expected level
of professionalism in appearance, demeanor and comportment; collect
data to determine student achievement goals in September and the
progress of those goals throughout the school year. The successful
candidate will also be expected to further develop and maintain
academic links with Triestes international science community, such
as the International Center for Theoretical Physics and the AREA
Science Park. In addition to these duties, the Middle School
Science Teacher is also a House Advisor as part of ISTs House
System. This responsibility involves supporting activities and
competitions during 30-minute Advisory periods at the end of each
day and providing campus supervision during lunch times and recess.
IST employs a cover teacher to assist during teacher absences;
however, teachers also complete cover when colleagues are absent or
leading a residential trip.
