Working at ACS for 2010-2011:  www.acs.edu.lb

The American Community School is a community of professional educators working together to create a constructivist educational student experience (see educational philosophy on the web page).  The school is looking for educators who are team oriented and have a demonstrated understanding of the following approaches to education:

Character Education

Understanding by Design

Curriculum Mapping

6+1 Traits of Writing

Reflective Student Portfolios

Differentiation in the Classroom

Integration of Technology in the Classroom 

Teachers who share the assumptions about students in the ACS educational philosophy and can contribute to the ongoing development of the school’s approaches to education are encouraged to apply.  Please visit the section “ ACS Team” on the web page for relevant information pertaining to listed openings.

As an educational community that discusses and shares brain based research approaches to education, ACS reads collectively a book each summer.  Recent books are “The Quality School” and “Quality School Teacher” by William Glasser, “The Students are Watching” by Ted and Barbara Sizer,  “Social Intelligence” by David Goleman, and “The World Café” by Juanita Brown .  Each division of the school has its own additional focuses on curriculum development and student growth.

The school does hire teachers outside of the recruitment fairs and has an interview procedure.
