Job Description- Senior School
At Neev, learning is both the guiding principle and the outcome of our purpose, culture, and
environment—creating a lighthouse of learning in India. Teachers plan and design learning
influenced by an understanding of students’ prior knowledge, identities, background, needs
and context. They bridge the learning, by bringing the world into their classroom or taking the
students across to an environment where they experience the learning. Thus, students
construct meaning and make sense of the world through the interplay of asking, doing and
thinking, leading to open, democratic classrooms. Teachers engage in cycles of inquiry, action
and reflection that lead to deeper understanding and lifelong learning. Teachers meet
programme requirements in accordance with the accrediting agencies. They approximately
spend 60% to 70% of their time in direct instruction/contact with students and 40% to 30% in
preparation, grading, feedback, meetings, vigilance, and other responsibilities.
