Secondary science teachers at Ukarumpa Internationl School (UIS) plan and implement appropriately-leveled instruction in the core sciences, biology, chemistry, physics, and middle school general sciences, as well as offer periodic science electives for interested students such as (but not limited to) astronomy, environmental science, or pre-engineering (we welcome your unique interests and expertise). UIS has three well-designed lab spaces that support physical and biological experimentation (even if the students have to catch their own toads! Not kidding!)

UIS Science Teachers are expected to:

• Teach in alignment with the AERO standards and the UIS Schoolwide Learning Outcomes (Knowledge, Understanding, Communication, Stewardship, and Biblical Worldview)
• Conduct formative and summative assessments, maintain records of student learning and achievement, and effectively communicate student achievement with parents on report cards and in other written and oral communication
• Maintain order and a positive, engaging learning environment in the classroom
• Seek to understand and empathize with students growing up in cross-cultural situations (Third-Culture Kids) and encourage awareness and understanding of cultural differences
• Communicate effectively with students from a variety of nationalities
• Assist in and support student extra-curricular activities as able, inspiring and encouraging the physical, mental, and spiritual development of students to their greatest potential
• Attend bi-weekly faculty meetings and school-sponsored Professional Development opportunities
• Maintain their own certification as needed (UIS has funds to supplement individual professional development pursuits!)

A full time teaching load is generally four classes and four preps.

We prefer a year of teaching experience, but we welcome you to talk with us about your unique qualifications and passions. We look forward to talking with you about our amazing community, our awesome students, and about how you might be able to serve God as a teacher in Papua New Guinea!
