May 2017 – August 2018 – Teaching English to children in Nanchong, Sichuan, China
I started in Nanchong in May 2017. The job in Nanchong was initially a mix between adults and children, but the school now exclusively focuses on children. We teach using materials taken from Cambridge University American English books (Big Fun for Kindergarten and Super Minds for Primary students). All classes were planned by the foreign teacher.
August 2018 - present - Teaching English and Math to children in Xuzhou, Jiangsu, China
I started in August 2018. This is an International school that uses the IB Primary Years Program. I have to plan my classes using a transdisciplinary format that incorporates the current Unit of Inquiry into my Math and English classes. I also teach two inquiry classes, where students lead their learning experience and I guide them.
