Design and Technology Teacher

Bilingual European School

Globeducate is one of the world's leading international K-12 education groups, with a network of schools and educational brands across multiple countries. Our schools are united by a shared commitment to educational excellence, innovation, international mindedness, and the development of students who graduate as global citizens who can shape the world. Colleagues at Globeducate benefit from working within a collaborative international community that values continuous improvement, professional learning and the sharing of best practice across the group.

We are seeking for a motivated Design and Technology Teacher to teach excellent instruction and learning lessons, projects and activities for Middle and High School Design and Technology classes in alignment with the IB MYP and Canadian OSSD curricula offered by the Bilingual European School, as well as supporting Globeducate events and activities.

Design, develop, and deliver units of inquiry and learning pathways aligned with the IB MYP curriculum and the High School programme, integrating design, scientific, technological, and creative competencies through clear and progressive learning objectives.

Guide students through the entire design cycle, from needs analysis and problem identification to research, defining success criteria, generating solutions, prototyping, and evaluating outcomes.

Support students in transforming ideas into products, models, prototypes, and functional solutions through sketches, technical drawings, digital modelling, and the appropriate use of materials and tools.

Promote the informed and creative use of digital tools and software for design, 2D and 3D modelling, prototyping, and presentation, fostering technological competencies applied to real-world problem solving.

Design and facilitate hands-on, interdisciplinary learning experiences based on active learning, experimentation, prototype development, and iterative design processes, recognising mistakes as opportunities for improvement.

Teach the effective use of materials, tools, equipment, and manufacturing techniques, promoting precision, independence, adherence to safety procedures, and an understanding of the properties and limitations of materials and technologies.

Guide students in researching and analysing existing products, users, contexts, and design constraints, supporting them in developing specifications, establishing evaluation criteria, and assessing the effectiveness, functionality, and quality of their solutions.

Develop rubrics, assessment criteria, and feedback tools aligned with subject objectives and the IB MYP assessment framework, monitoring student progress throughout research, idea development, solution creation, and final evaluation stages.

Develop students' ability to document project stages through portfolios, sketchbooks, technical documentation, testing records, results analysis, and critical reflections on their learning journey.

Adapt activities, assignments, and support strategies according to students' varying abilities, learning styles, and educational needs, encouraging participation, collaboration, and learner autonomy.

Design learning experiences that connect Design & Technology with subjects such as mathematics, science, computer science, visual arts, and sustainability through authentic projects that address real needs and promote knowledge transfer across contexts.

Promote a culture of responsible design by raising students' awareness of the environmental, social, and economic impact of design decisions, encouraging efficient resource use, informed material selection, and the principles of the circular economy.

Foster critical and creative thinking, visual and technical communication, collaboration, time management, organisation, and the ability to justify and present design decisions effectively.

Organise and manage workshops, laboratories, and design spaces, preparing materials, tools, digital resources, and operational procedures to ensure a safe, stimulating, and innovation-oriented learning environment.
